have the bearing removed and take it to a bearing retailer
the numbers etched on the sides of the bearing will identify it
the brand doesn't matter as the letters and numbers are a standard format
ball bearings are everywhere. car has 1500 to 3000 parts.
even the steering shaft has bearings.
inside car, outside car.
engine, transmissions, wheel bearings. axle bearings, CV balls.
where.
The other guys have never taken the wheel bearings out of a 2007 Tacoma! Remove the tire (duh) Remove the 12mm bolt holding the brake line securing bracket Un-clip the air sensor hose clip Remove the two 17mm bolts holding the brake assembly on the back side Remove the rotor from the wheel "spindle"- slides right off. Unscrew the four metric bolts (maybe 17mm) holding the wheel housing to its mount (they cannot be removed from the assembly yet, see below). That's right there is no normal wheel spindle with a big nut on the end of a threaded shaft in the middle! The wheel mounting plate (with the 6 studs) is pressed into the bearing housing. Get a replacement bearing assembly and take it and your old unit to a machine shop (unless you have a good press). An easy job, just expensive- $140 for the bearing assembly.
I do not know but I ended up have to get a replacement wheel assembly on my Toyota Corolla. I replaced the wheel bearing it self 3 times in 6 months. Do not know if the assembly was damaged when the inner race was pressed out / in.
Make sure you know what you are doing and use a very reputable machine shop that has experience with Toyota wheel bearings.
YOU NEED ARBOR PRESS TO REMOVE INNER RACE FROM THE HUB.YOU NEED SEAL REMOVER TOOL SST 09308-00010 YOU NEED SNAP RING PLIERS YOU NEED BEARING DRIVER DRIVE BEARING FROM THE STEERING KNUCKLE.THE CHEAPER ROUTE IS TO BUY WHEEL BEARING AT A AUTO PARTS STORE THAT IT TO A SHOP THAT DOES BRAKES AND FRONT AND REAR SUSPENSION WORK.BUY THE TOOLS GOING COST.
You need to go to Autozone and get yourself what is called the "axle nut socket". Since this car is front wheel drive, you'll need to loosen the nut while the car is still on the ground. Once loosened, jack the car up and proceed with changing the bearing/hub.
