If you only knew how I removed mine as an emergency. No puller tools at all and it was so easy. It took me less than a minute. Toyota parts are beasts!!!
Your 1st project would have worked perfectly with more patience. I work with pullers all the time at my job. The one thing I have learned is never, never, never use a impact on a puller!! You will strip the threads. What I would have done since you have Mig welder is get a good size steel rod or bolt and weld a T-handle to the puller bolt. Also make sure the puller bolt is a hardened bolt with fine thread. Also support the brake plate so the axle hub can push through freely somehow. I thought you had a good idea!!! Oh and before I forget always use shaft saver spacers between the puller bolt and axle end!!
I custom made my own tool as well to replace the bearings on my 4runner how ever I went with a more sophisticated built I went to my local junkyard took a grinder with me cut off half of the rear end axle and made my custom off of that it’s amazing!!!!!!!!!
@@theotherguy3083 Sorry, I made the assumption. You look and act like many Filipinos I know. Good job making your own special tool anyways. You got it done without spending extra money to buy a special tool.
I bit the bullet and bought the tools to pull axle bearings. And I bought a new rear axle bearing for my truck. And replaced the bearing. Therefore leaving me with the old bearing that I’m going to weld a pipe on it and have another puller. Then I’ll probably sell the one I bought.it is a universal puller for many bolt patterns.
I don't subscribe to many people at all but you are down to business to get the job done so I'm a subscriber now I hope to see more cool video from your shop
Very interesting and informative... One question..can you share the spacing measurements for drilling the 4 holes into the plate that bolts onto the 4 bolts in the bearing housings Thanks
@@KIKOANGELESPARZA simple , yo saque las medidas del nuevo que voy a poner , hice una plantilla y de ahi a la placa .. empece con un punto y broca chica a baja velocidad y asi sucecivamente asta llegar a la medida deceada .. saludos y espero le sirva compa
Thanks for the tutorial. The bolt-pattern size for the plate at the end would be helpful. I would like to machine mine and get it all ready while it's cold before I do the job.
@@J_Whitley987 I think I got a 2" standard pipe, and found some flanges laying around in a scrap yard. Look like kind of standard stuff. In case anyone wanted to throw something together. We have lathe, were able to touch it up - but I do not remember actually needing it. The holes in the existing flanges were over-sized on what I found, so it worked.
For the most part toyato makes their cars and trucks easy to work on but this rear bearing is a bear and for some reason those parts everyone says to cut off and replace are not available in our area so I'm trying to do it with out cutting anything
need some sort of protector for the teeth at the end of the axel if you damage those you wont be able to line them back in the axel housing grooves that fit on the teeth
Good vid why don't you make some to sell cheaper than the others??? Question other video when disconnected break lines do you have to do something especial to bleed lines due to the abs system verses none abs.
I made one very much like this one. Didn't work for me, even with a 12ton press. I had to head the inner race of the bearing to red hot and press it while hitting the axle with a hammer.
Try welding 3 nuts together instead of using one to prevent stripping the threads. There is a video showing a guy holding the brake housing while hitting the shaft end on plywood until the bearing comes out.
Can you post the dimensions of your tool please? I can fabricate this as well but I need the measurements. I also have a 2000 Tundra but it only has 158,000 on it currently. Rear wheel bearings are toast on both sides so looking to make this tool to save time and money. Thanks for making the video btw.
