alright so i drive a 95 toyota pickup, and as of late my wheel bearings are starting to go bad, according to a mechanic that i know pretty well and i work with him. (hes ceritfied too) but yea so they are going bad, but i was told i have time before i have to replace them. which is good in my world. i was wondering how hard it is to replace them and what i actually have to do. i like doing things on my own with my truck but if its not worth all the work ill just take it in i guess.. feedback is much appriciated.

thanks

yeah uhh i was told it was my fronts.. and the left one is worse than the right. im not that great at the IFS so i would have no idea what to do. it makes a weird noise almost 24/7 too

 

i just did my 93 runner inner and outer wheel bearings 2 days ago started at 5 tools put away by 10 that included bsing with my father who came over to see what i was doing. it also included dinner.
the hardest part was getting the caliper bolts off as they had never been off. a little PB and an cheater bar and life was good
this is something anyone can do
almost forgot i changed my passenger side half shaft while i was ther cause the cv boot had a rip
go for it
hint no1
PB blaster the caliper bolts a day in advance
hint 2 order buy borrow the 54mm socket needed to take them off ( sure you can do it with a chisel and a hammer) but do it right!

 

yea uhh, 1 min search on google

yeah i already have the 54mm.. and ive done it with the chisel and hammer too the first time lol. lonnggg story. but yeah the thing i run into is that i work almost everyday of the week usually and then i always work saturdays.. so i dont really have that much time to get it done. how long did it take you? and i need a press too huh?

 

no press needed
couple hours do one side one day do the other side another day
do you have a service manual
do you know how to grease the bearings?

 

yeah i have 2 manuals.. and yeah i know how to grease them.. thanks for the help though.

 

Does anybody know which bearing ussually causes the noise

 

The the one that is the most dry? Haha sorry, it seems logical to me but I have no idea
