I just wanted to follow up in case someone else comes looking for this information in the future. I had to take the steering knuckle off my truck. I didn't have to disconned the axle shafts to do this. Due to the salt used on the roads around here the bearing was stuck into the steering...

I was reading the manual for the 04 4runner the other day and it specifically states that at 100k to inspect the fluid but it is not required to be changed for the life of the vehicle. This is with the World Standard transmission fluid. Kevin

The steering knuckle is the cast piece that all of these parts are attached to. Kevin

I'll have to try again. I was trying that but it is pulling the steering knuckle/bearing and hub off the axle. Does the bearing go into the steering knuckle at all? Kevin

I loosened the four bolts but couldn't completely remove them because they hit the hub. The bearing seems stuck to the steering knuckle. How did you separate them? Thanks, Kevin

Thanks, Did you remove the front steering knuckle also? Kevi

Does the 03 have press in bearings or a bearing module like the 04? How did you get the hub off in order to unbolt the bearing module? Can you explain what you mean by spacing the bearing? I've never had to do that on a wheel bearing before. Thanks, Kevin

I have the rotor and caliper off and I have removed the hub nut. I can see where the bearing module bolts on but I need to get the hub off first. Will the hub pull off or do I need to disconnect the axle shaft someplace first? Thanks, Kevin

My wife's 04 4runner needs a new right front wheel bearing. I just picked up the part while I am doing a brake job. Can someone tell me how to get the old front wheel bearing off? I'm guessing I need to disconnect the front axle shaft someplace. Is this correct? I don't want to start...
