How do you remove the wheel hub/bearings?? Need Help ASAP Thank You

[Lee_MA61]

I'm probably posting this in the wrong section, but I thought general would be better than the completly wrong one.

Anyways..

Tyler (CambellsChunkySoupra) and I are trying to remove his wheel hub but the wheel bearings are giving us trouble. We really need help! So if anyone could give us a step by step run through of it's removal that would be appreciated!

Any help is welcome!

Thank you!!

anyone got advice? we have the hub assembly dropped out and we can not seem to get the hub itself removed. come on guys. i know u are out there.

 

[johnathan1]

IIRC, the hubs/bearings need to be pressed in/out...

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

well we are having a crap load of trouble. it wont budge and its not doing anything. we are also having a crap load of problems with the tie rod. we have a pickle fork and nothing is budging. fcking cAR1

 

[supra_ed]

did u go to local parts store and get a whell hub puller? advance auto or any other rents them

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

well no i didnt. i just tried to take it all apart and now its a pain in the ass because nothing is coming undone. now im carless.

 

[johnathan1]

Did you check the TSRM?

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

uh.. yeah. all it has is pictures. unless im retarded and cant use it right.

hummmmmm


well to get your tie rod end of is very simple get nice hammer beat the liven crap out of the nuckle and the tie rod end will pop out

as for the wheel baring ummm have nto done one in less time puller is best but can be done wiht hamer and vise and some pipe

instal use vise or tap it in wiht hammer

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

well, ive basically been beatin the hell out of the tie rod and everything in the wheel well. its insane. nothing will budge. here are some pictures.

can anyone get me the part number for this nut that goes on the back of the hub? it is stripped out pretty badly.

here is a picture of what im dealing with. i can not get the damn hub out of the fricking car. and hardly anyone is replying!

Use a puller.
Or start using the hammer like a man.

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

ok, all this hammer tallk isnt doing shit. do i hit the hub from behind or what? does the bearing and everything just "pop" out? there has got to be something. the TSRM said there is a snap ring in there and i cant seem to get anything out of it. and now its dark. time to kill myself.

To pop the Tie rods/ball joints hit the SIDE of the knuckle with a hammer.

If you don't have access to a press it's going to be much easier to drop both knuckles and take them to the local suspension/brake shop and have them press the old ones out and the new ones in shouldn't be more than $30>$40 and will save you a shitload of grief when you slip and trash a bearing or hub.

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

so ill just take the whole assembly off tomorrow. but ill need that stupid nut that goes on the back side of the hub since mine got stripped out pretty bad. so basically i need the toyota part number for that too. ill have to run up there tomorrow. right now im car less and thats gonna suck. but u definatly think pressing is the way to go? i hope my machine shop can do that.

Ryan: You're meant to replace those Nuts each use anyway and they're dirt cheap.

Trust me Pressing it out and in is the safe option

 

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

ok. thanks. my car will be down for a couple days. but it will get done. i hope

A press is one of the most basic tools a machine shop will have. They better know.
