Hi guys,
I've read some and watched a couple of videos on replacing the rear bearings on the 4th Gen T4R. I would like to ensure that I am ordering all the right parts that I need to do the job. Here's what I've ordered thus far:

Passenger Side Rear Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly (Koyo ATM 2122436) from NAPA
Driver Side Rear Wheel Bearing Hub Assembly (Koyo ATM 2122430) from NAPA
Two each of the Wheel Bearing Retaining Ring from NAPA
Two each of the Wheel Bearing Lock Ring from NAPA
Rear Axle Bearing Pulling Tool from Amazon

What I'm not sure about are the shaft seals and o-rings, I think I need just one of each per side, is that correct?
search


Also, in the videos I see a collar and a dished washer being removed, but not installed. Are these included in the Bearing Hub Assemblies or do I need to order them separately?

Am I missing any other parts? I have access to a hydraulic press, so that's not an issue.

Thanks much

I have this twice now on a FJC and 4runner. You dont need to overpay for the napa rear bearings. On rockauto, look for the bearings that are mark made in Japan. Most are either marked made in china or not marked at all. But the prices will be muck less on rockauto. It took 14 tons of force to remove my bearings, so a 20 ton press is requires. Re-use the washer and note the orientation. The concave side faces bearing IIRC. And reverse the retainer so the bevel faces the wheel. This gives the axle seal more room to seat. I reused my retainers, because the seal sits on the virgin side once you flip its orientation. You will not damage the seal by doing this. The big pain in the process will be the parking brakes. I left mine disconnected. I never use them anyway.
 
Use Toyota seals only. Aftermarket will leak

Yep, that's what I ordered. Actually I just discovered that I ordered two sets of the seals, one set from Amazon, which may not be OEM and one set from eBay labelled as genuine Toyota parts. Once I receive them, I'll likely return the Amazon set...

I'm glad you pointed that out!

Thanks.

I read that this can cause the parking pawl to wear away or shear off if used on hills, is this an overblown fear?

Luckily my parking brakes have never seen salt, so I haven't touched them yet.
