replacing wheel bearings toyota troopie 1995

Hey mark

just read the book it will tell you everything u need to know. yu may want to go get a socket. you can get a universal one for 55-60mm just for that job. make sure u pack the bearings well to.\

I have seen some youtube videos on how to do it as well. Also there is a lot of information on various web sites with tips and tricks on how to do it including tools required.
Google is your friend to find the info :)

Hi Mark,
I purchased a Nut Socket off eBay, but from another seller.
54mm 3/8" Wheel Bearing Hub Nut Socket Toyota
54mm 3/8" Wheel Bearing Hub Nut Socket Toyota Hilux 4x4
54mm Front Hub Nut Socket to suit 3/8 drive
Toyota Landcruiser - 40 series, 60 series, 70 75 series, 80 series, 100, 105 series

Bought the bearing kit from my local Auto Parts guy,

A handy bit of kit.,
Cheap as chips.

Hi All,
Thanks for your replies and handy tips. I will follow up with sockets and tips off the internet. Lyle did you mean the manual for the Troopy?
Thanks again.

Mark,
Further to the advice you have been given.

Use either genuine Toyota bearing kits or Japanese made quality bearings. Some of the el cheapo kits around have Chinese made bearings in them and they are not as reliable. Given the consequences of bearing failure on a trip it is just not worth saving a few $.

After you have done say 1000 km following the replacement check each wheel for play. The fronts are just a matter of jacking up etc. For the rears you need to check the manual.

Carrying pre packed bearings in a zip lock plastic bag makes field replacement much easier.

cheers

Mark,

If you haven't done this before, one piece of advice I'd give is to "freeze" the cups of the bearings. Just chuck the cups into the freezer, as you get all the other stuff together. Then when you press or drive them into the hub, they go in a bit easier. Also, plenty of WD-40 as you press them in, helps too.

Bob.
