Hub assembly

What’s up guys wheel bearing is shot so I’m going to replace my whole hub assembly. What size socket do I need for nut holding down the wheel assembly?

 

What year is your truck? 4×4, etc?

This video helped me a ton when I did the bearings on my previous 4runner. I think the parts and process are nearly identical for a 2nd gen Tacoma

35mm socket.

This guy is the go to around here for pre-assembled hubs with quality bearing:

He does great work and is quick. I did mine a few weeks ago, paid Wednesday evening, shipped Thursday, and had parts Saturday. Highly recommend.

Also one tip that I struggled with is it’s much easier to press the new seal into the spindle if you just pull it off the truck. I fought it for hours on the truck tilting it out but couldn’t get the seal to go on straight. Then I took off the last 2 bolts holding the spindle on and then was able to press the seal in less than 5 min.

 

My truck is 4x4. Also is it difficult to replace the hub assembly?

 

It’s an 07 Toyota Tacoma 4wd

 

Check out the video. I think it has the tools listed.

 

The "Toyota master mechanic" is a dumb ass. He bent the shit out of the hard line and left out the O ring.
