How to Replace Front Wheel Bearing & Hub 2003-2008 Toyota Corolla 

√ Watch the Video √ Buy The Part at 1A Auto 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ-Parts √ Do it Yourself √ Save Money

Wow. This guy is a very good and thorough mechanic. Excellent lighting and focus. This is how a mechanical how-to video should be done. I'm an experienced amateur mechanic but I learned a few things like don't put anti seize on the lug studs.

2:40 A mechanic who knows to spin the nut, not the bolt… chef’s kiss!

This video sooooo makes the case for just buying a quality loaded knuckle. I did both in my 04 vibe.

Just got quoted from the car shop, $1300 usd w 60k mile warrant for both driver + passenger...I jist saved over 900 bucks doin it on my own, I grabbed the pre assembled knuckles they had on the website! 1300 is wild

Thanks for the vid. After watching literally a hundred of these it was the first one to mention which side this type of bearing can go into the knuckle.

So a few things. Dont start nuts with an impact! Also go ahead and buy a whole new hub, bearing, and housing BEFORE putting a new hub and bearing in a old housing. Other than that very informative 👌 thanks 😊

I realize it's an edited video but not showing how you remove the stuck race that is still on the hub is kind of misleading. That usually requires using torches, air chisel, and/or a bearing race puller. I get not showing how to deal with the rotted dust shield, the missing ball joint nut... etc because it's a video showing about the bearing but you should have touched on the stuck race. Especially on how to not damage the hub during removal. We've all been there! Other than that pretty good/informative video.

TRQ, has good parts for a good price. Add good tutorials to that list!! Thank you!

I have watched a few of your videos. You are an excellent and conscientious mechanic. Very good video tutorials. You are a credit to your employer. Thanks for showing me the way.

I like the trick of using a big high hat brake rotor. What year/make/model vehicle does that brake rotor come from?

So, if the shop wants to charge up to 2 hours labor, allowing for rusty parts and broken snap rings... I should be fine with it. Got it.

Thanks for the video- should I get an alignment after doing this job?

Is it okay to add extra grease to the new bearings? I know theyre pre-greased, but would it hurt to add more so it can last longer?

Brilliant video, and great angles thanks. Is it the same for Toyota Corolla 2012 Diesel?

Do u have to do wheel alignment after this kind of job???? I always hear u do Let me know

Great instructions as always, thank you for the torque specs too! Watching these guides helps my peace of mind a ton before i start projects on my 200k corolla.

Well made video and effort with attention to details. Showing whole procedure with good visual angle and explanation.

I loved this video... right to the damn point. You know I have not been able to find the torque spec on the castle nut (159#) for years.. I even talked to mechanics who told me " I just tighten them as much as I can with the impact"

Excellent demonstration. I wish you were my mechanic.

Hie how are you l have got my toyota allex am having right side wheel bearing problem and it started when l changed my CV joints it's now the 3rd time changing my bearing same side different brands what can be the cause of that

Pls i stay in Nigeria. This actually is my job too. But is it necessary to apply some grease inside the bearing before installing them in d spindle?

Reusing clips saves editing time. Nice job!

I had a question, if I don’t have a press, is there any way out of it? Can I buy a knuckle with pre installed bearing or something Can anyone help me out with that Thanks

U did it right.....others press in using inner race which is a no,no. 👍

lol I'm a idiot, this whole time I could have just taken the ball joint off with just one bolt instead of the three connecting to the control arm. Taking the ball joint last time was the hardest thing but after watching this I can see why I made it harder on myself.

Imma just buy a preassembled new kit😬

Very enjoyable video...well explained...Very easy to relate...well done...Thank you

Great video,seems simple enough but still a bit of knowledge and work needed (subscribed). PS, do i buy a press or just drop the car off and let them do it.🤔

One of the best video on this topic.. Thanks

Well now that I see all the hard work that goes into just replacing the wheel bearings, I won't be surprised if I'm charged more than $75.

Brilliantly done. Excellent video footage.

Thanks for helping me to decide to let my mechanic do this job instead of me

Thanks very good video for non mechanical person

It’s faster to take the ball joint with the knuckle. It’s only three bolts and you don’t have to worry about the cotter pin and nut

Make sure you have both front wheels jacked up when you take off the knuckle. I learned the hard way😅

I was safety squinting as you were removing the snap ring.

Why did they go back to the old style instead of using the hub assembly?

Dam to replace a carolla bearing is harder than a replacing Bugatti engine

Excellent job, good video thanks

Looks like it is hard to find a 30mm 12 point impact socket. You can find a 30mm 6 point impact socket and you can find a 30 12 point standard socket.

Wow i thought hub assymbly just bolted on. Cant believe tgey still used this design on something until 07

What size is the socket used as a spacer?

keep in mind you'll have to get an alignment done if removing the knuckle.

Why didn’t a grease seal be replaced on behind bearings and before axle joint installed

What is symptom of bad wheel hub

thanks so much It was a very clear and easy way ..

Can I just buy the hub and bearing already ensembled ?

Very informative and satisfying to watch

Nice video, good education

Great video, thank you!

Thanks you are helping a lot

High-quality bearings are the only guarantee for safe driving.

Perfect video 👌📸

I have OTC 6575 wheel press kit do on the car much easier expensive to do but worth it

very good explained and clear thanks

Worked great 👍

Can't you just replace only the bearing

Drove over an invisible pothole on the freeway going 70mph and one of the threads on the wheel hub bent and ended up breaking off after I tried changing the flat tire I got from it 😤😭

Thank you for the video.

There’s no way this is a two hour job this at least with all the editing that was done at least between three and four hour job. I’d rather just buy the whole unit.

Thanks!!!

Interesting

Thanks giys

The OTC hub grappler sells for around $600 What is the cost of the repair shop? $75-125 an hour plus parts possibly What’s the name of the game? Pay less then the cost of the shop If the repair cost $800 The tool plus the part cost $750 😆 Buy used knuckles or pay TRQ? Probably cheaper to pay TRQ what did you learn: Type your responses below

There’s no way this is a two hour job this at least with all the editing that was done at least between three and four hour job. I’d rather just buy the whole unit. If you look clearly at the video at the 15 minute mark when he’s about to install the knuckle back into the axle it’s not the knuckle that he was showing when he was pressing on the bearing. It’s a completely new knuckle. Take a good look at it deceptive video

amizing

No mechanic or technician in Nigeria can replace the hub bearing...all they do here is replace the entire hub..

Couldn’t you just replace the whole thing?

👍🏼

I am not on the same page after watching this ,i have moved

👌👌👍👍

Replace it better than repair it 😢

DO YOU NEED A NEW HUB?

🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

..

Ok I don’t have this kind of tools, so I’m just gonna buy the whole assembly 🥹🥹

Bla, bla, bla, blaaa...

Very helpful vid!
