Recouping from a heart attack. I’m watching this video for like the third time I feel like I was right there with you working over your shoulder. Thank you for the videos. You are the best on the tube.

Great job man, your the only one that did it the right way! I couldn't find any other videos with replacing the oring.

I love that you put on the torque specs. Thanks

I can't thank you enough for the fantastic content! There couldn't have found a better resource for my at home maintence.

Thank you bro! You out here looking out for us Taco bros, thank you and god bless!!

Thank you my brother, very helpful and much appreciated by providing the torque amounts!

Great video. I'm doing this job for the second time in 18 months because I didn't do the seal on the back the first time - don't get tempted to skip that! I had trouble bracing the old hub to get the axle nut off, the wheel studs would rock on the jack stand making it hard to get good leverage. One easy way to do it is to simply put the brake rotor and calipers back on and get an assistant to hold the brakes while you crank on the axle nut with the breaker bar. Thanks for the video Flo!

Thanks for putting out such great content .I can always count on your channel to help me get through my DIY taco projects ...I got to deal with this one RN...

Enjoy amigo! An excellent beer choice as well! Everytime I am looking for how to do something your videos comes up, I think it's time I pony up some cash for your fund! Keep up the good work and wish me luck on next week's front diff core swap!

Great video, very thorough. Just an FYI, wheel spacers cause premature bearing wear. I found out the hard way. I bought the correct wheels with the right backspacing and offset. They look better too👍☺️

Perfect timing. The wheel bearing on my Tacoma just went out

You seem to have the right tutorial just when i need it most lol, thanks!

Excellent video. Very useful.

Great instructions step by step .

Love your views buddy 🤙

Good Video

Nice video, this will be a great help to me as I attempt on my 2000 tacoma 4wd. Could you provide more info on the new bearing assembly you used? I'm having trouble tracking one down for my 2000 tacoma.

Good job man, very informative. I am about to do it on my 2008 4Runner. Before I saw your video, I did not think to replace that larger seal from other side of the hub, where axle enters the hub/bearing assembly through the knuckle. Is this always must to do when replace the hub/bearing assembly on the front of the rig? I did order pair of Koyo's and they will come with o ring and the seal. The reason I am asking is this procedure does require extra work to be able to insert that large seal from other side of the knuckle.. Thanks in advance!

I was able to remove the wheel hub without using the special tool, used a big flat screw driver and it worked perfectly, maybe because I live in SF California trucks don’t rust as much here, compare to other states.

if you put a spacer between the bolts after you break them loose, you can press the old bearing out, saves hammering.

Great video. Thanks. Have any plans to do a video on valve cover gasket?

We're the wheel spacers the cause for wearing out the wheel bearings?

What was the seal for the driver side front? Looking for that seal

Still another very informative video..#10 Couple of questions After doing all that to remove the hub assembly did you give any thought to replacing the axles at the same time? And you didn't mention that the replacement part was a Hub/bearing unit preassembled part.. Did you post up the part numbers ?

If you are doing this job. You should take all precautions to not brake that speed sensor. At my auto store they wanted 125.00-250.00 each for new ones. They are like plastic gold. Don’t brake them.

Kflo, Can you do a video of how to inspect and identify which wheel bearing is bad.

How do I separate the wheel hub from the wheel bering

Looks like your front driveshaft has 1 zerk in each U joint. Ive got a 2014 4x4 TRD and there are apparently no zerks on either Joint 😮

How has the wheel bearing held up? I’ve read some bad reviews that these bearings don’t last. Any input? Thnx

Did this to put gussets on my 2020 after bending one at Moab. Have you ever had issues with the dust guard--- ?? Mine rubbed the rotor so I had to tweak it a bit. Pain in the ass

How did you remove the broken off piece of that abs sensor? Mine was siezed af and snapped like a twig

should you just replace both sides if one is going bad or just doing one is fine. Also, how do you determine whether you need a whole new assembly or if you just need to press a new one in?(im 2wd and offroad often)

Got any vids on engine work etc...

So glad I live on the west coast

Part number for the O Ring?

That's a ton of dirt intrusion in the spindle

What happens when you have a bad wheel bearing??? thanks!

I have a 2010 Toyota Tacoma TRD. Front driver side tire bounces like a basket ball when driving, took it to the dealer and after replacing the drive shaft I still have the bounce ( speed is irrelevant). Replaced the front tire but no use… any ideas?

oem front dust shields are only $20 per side from dealer in Canada just bought 2 of em , so in the USA that would be around $2.99 each lol , they probably quoted you for rear backing plates they are around $140

What year it's your toyota tacoma the one in the video?

You got a video on tie rod ends

If the studs are two short. Why can’t you cut them off and drive out the splined end and replace them with grade 8 bolts that will take more of the pounding that you are gonna give them.

How long will this take a professional to do?

Did it make any weird rubbing noises over bumps or turns?

What would happen if you forget to add that O ring?

I think you could have disconnected the bottom of the knuckle and been able to move it around enough to get the seal out.

18:15 what is that part number

Buy some crowsfoot wrenches 🔧

Never see you use a torch to loosen anything

You replaced the passenger side bearing
