92-4runner4x4

I've got a Question. On my 92 4runner 4x4, I've got two bad wheel Bearing's that are out, In the Front left & also right side tires! Both tires have got play! Now are wheel Bearing's Hard to replace im pretty sure they have to be pressed in! Anyways i can do it myself?

Wheel bearings are NOT pressed in. It is a very easy job. just jack up your truck, remove tire, pull hubs, remove spindle nuts, remove calipers, remove rotor. the bearings will fall right out. Then u have to remove the races and install new ones. then re assemble. with new bearings . i would recommends dound inner and outer bearings at the same time. and NEVER re use the old races. this job should only,take a couple hrs max

I'm Confused with Dound inner and Outer bearings?

I think that's a typo. What is meant is "doing" the inners and outer at the same time. You already have it disassembled, take the extra 10 minutes and do both.

You will need a 54 MM socket to remove the spindle nuts. Don't use a hammer and a screwdriver

You can get the trail gear 54mm socket for 17$

Yea I believe mine is from trail-gear. It's a 3/8 drive. Good to have a 3/8 drive torque wrench also for proper bearing preload.

The races should be pressed in, but you can do it very easily with a hammer if you dont have access to a press.

Yeah it was a typo lol sorry about that. and make sure when you are taking tge spindle nuts off you straighten out the tabs so the socket will fit over the nut..... i forgot about those once and couldn't figure out why my socket wouldn't fit.
