Wheel Bearing question

[iAlex684]

I believe my wheel bearing is going out and I was wondering is it easy to swap out? Do I need a press to press in the bearing? Could I swap the wheel bearing with the knuckle still attached to the car? How easy is it to swap out the wheel bearing?

I have a 2006 Toyota 4Runner 2WD. Planning on replacing the front passenger side wheel bearing.

If you wanted to save yourself the trouble of pressing in the bearing you could buy one of Kevins pre-assembled hub and bearings here https://www.4runners.com/threads/4th-5th-gen-front-hub-assemblies-4x4-4x2.154/

Unfortunately the 2wd are $100 more than the 4wd assemblies

So I basically unbolt the factory and bolt on Kevin's then I'm ready to go? No additional steps needed?

Well the knuckle seal might need to be replaced but that's basically it. Assuming you know the other steps required and also I'm unsure of any additional steps the 2WD version requires. I've only dealt with the 4WD so far.

I had one bad front drivers side wheel bearing, decided to change both fronts since some forum members suggested its best to change in pairs in case you change out the wrong one. The drive is awesome now, no more vibrations above 60mph. Kevin's product is top notch. I had a shop install them. I'm very happy with the transaction.

The 2wd replacement of the compete hub/bearing is super simple. I did order a long and skinny and old wrench from ebay to take off the 4 bolts.

I only found youtubes of the 4wd's.

It's a very easy procedure, I did both in about 2 hours or so

Biggest pain in the ass will be the dust cover, It took me forever to get that thing back on without destroying it. I have to replace one of my CV joints soon, I bought a dust cover just so I don't have to screw around with the old one.
