Hi. i have a rear wheel bearing that is starting to hum and will probably want replacing. anyone know how easy/difficult it is to replace and can anyone recommend where i can get a wheel bearing kit from. have been quoted between 90 and 120 quid. seems a bit steep. maybe bearing specialists can help.
cheers

I had this same problem myself. The hub is a sealed unit and must be purchased as a whole assembly to the tune of around $400 from Toyota. Long story short I never replaced my hub. The problem turned out to be tires that were worn out. I figured that out when i rotated the tires and the sound moved to the front of the car... Go figure. Replaced the tires and all the noise went away.

Yes it is as easy as it looks. If you had the tire off and figured out that it looks easy, you shouldn't have much problem.

i'm assuming you don't have a hubshark,this is a tool that will alllow you to remove the bearing while the knuckle is attached to the car,you may be able to rent this tool at a auto prts store .if not you need to remove the entie knuckle,first remove the trailing arm bolt,then the lateral link bolt{long and stubborn bolt},disassemble the brake shoes and parking brake cable,abs sensor if equipped the knuckle to strut bolt{no marking necessary they are not eccentric} then you need a to use or borrow a press to remove hub and bearings good luck

wheel off remove the tin cap in the centure of the hub undo the big nut put the wheel back on with just 2 bolts finger tight so you can pull the hub off.once the hub is off take the 2 wheel bolts back out.now look in side the hub were the big nut was and you will see a sir clip take that out.then use a socket and a bench vice to press the old bearing out.use the socket and bench vice to put the new bearing back in.

you must remove brakes, then remove axle nut, then remove upper control arm and finally tie rod stabilizer, remove axle from car then bearing can be accessed. this is a difficult job that requires special tools so be careful
