    I feel like this has been covered but Just wanted to add my $.02 lol. my 2010 just rolled 300K with the original rear wheel bearings still going strong. I would only replace the bad one and I would use factory or equivalent.

    Reserected from the dead.

    I'm pretty sure these are pre greased, sealed bearings. A stopped vent will have had nothing to do with the bearing failing.

    If you see oil, then you know you have a failed seal that allowed gear oil to wash out the grease.

    I'm sure once you remove the brakes, you will see the bearing is bone dry and sounds like gravel.

    no oil leaking out. Everything I can see is dry.

    I’m gonna get a koyo bearing and the seals and stuff from Toyota. Gonna do just the one side for now.

    thanks for everyone’s input
