was changing my pads due to squealing sounds and brakes getting hot, wheel is pretty wobbly up and down. i bought a new wheel bearing and tried getting hold of a manual but neither the local repco or supercheap had one available.

i've done wheel bearings before but this one looks pretty different and because i've got no spare car i just want to make sure i've got everything there for the change before i get into it.

any tips and tricks and will i need a press to get the old one out/new one in.

also if anybody has a manual and can email me a copy of the relevant pages that would be awesome (or even the celica ones from the same year, i'm pretty sure they are the same.

thay have a standard toyota bearing arrangement....
what cars have you done bearings on?

by **rxtoy** » Fri Dec 22, 2006 9:42 am

RA28 celica (with corona front struts),
mitsubishi 1981 EX lancer,

nothing new or FWD so far

been talking to a mate and it sounds like i need to press the bearing out and since i'm not going to have access to a press before xmas and i need the car i'm going to get a hub from pick a part and swap that in. will mean i can use the car and swap the new bearing into my original hub once i get a chance too.

cheers

yeah itll be different from those.

yes you need a press

swapped in one from pick a part, had to buy the CV joint with it because couldn't undo it (other side just kept turning).

now i've got more problems, when i took the old hub out the shock dropped out, turns out the bearing at the top of that has collapsed as well.

looks like i might be staying in Auckland for Xmas

anyone got a strut top they want to sell?????

cheers,
Matt

if you got a new bearing an brought the hub into a shop it costs all of $20 for them to press a new one in, but sometimes the center flange is stuffed from the run bearing

i'm not worried about the cost, or even about doing it. i just needed the car ready for driving on xmas day and i'm working saturday and sunday so no chance to do it then. i can get it pressed out at work next year, just the workshops are closed up at the moment.

cheers

need ST190 one's, i'm off to pick a part tomorrow to get one anyway, its already a lot better with the new hub in so hopefully this will sort it completely
