In this video I show you how I replaced a press in front wheel bearing on a 2007 Toyota Corolla. Please refer to your shop manual for the proper repair procedure on your vehicle.

lesson learned don’t buy a pos toyota corolla
So you’re telling me i can’t just buy a hub assembly for the front? 🥲
Great vid…short and to the point. Strongly suggest safety glasses while using impact tools. The front office manager would really appreciate this…jus sayin. Best of luck 2 U!
The ring tool looks like a big pair of needle nose bent at 75 degrees. Seconds to remove and put one back.
Yes indeed awesome video
Time for ear and eye protection.. Godamn!
Any suggestions on how many hours this should take a competent auto repair garage?
Not in the current situation to do this myself. Have to trust a repair garage and risk getting $crewed.

No CLUE who that would be! 😉 Quit watching him a lot time ago!
THUMBS UP!

Of all the money you spend on those pullers, a hydraulic press would make more sense.
Another Great Video! Thank you
As I’m about to ask if that snap ring could pop out and get you in the eye he says it can fly across the shop
What brand of scredriver do you use?
Wow, you're a real mechanic!! Seriously, learned a little something, press smesss, good stuff man. I'm expecting a call from my mechanic tomorrow, first time using him , I anticipate that they will want to replace the entie assembly dust shield and all. They will probably say, those are pressed in bearings …. and I will try to behave, I don't have the capability. Nice work, great video, love it when it doesn't go exactly the way you imagined, and it makes the cut because the recovery was magnificent sir!
Would this be the same procedure for a matrix?
Your video really helped me with a 2006 Pontiac Vibe (same as Corolla and Matrix). I did add a little heat to the knuckle while pressing out the old bearing. Also took my time with the retaining clip.
wearing ear protection and goggles would not be a bad idea imho. Great job, thanks for uploading. I'll do my Fiesta mk 4 at the end of the week. 15.31 Do they speak english in what?
do not resuse old axle nut. mine got loose almost got stranded
Let me tell you now whoever didn't like this video is a f**** idiot
I just don't understand why the hell they don't make those mud guards out of some sort of plastic. They make every damn thing else out of plastic how about something that you don't want to rust off.
Make sure you put the rounded edge up makes it so much easier to remove next time. It might be you that has to pull it out
😑😳🙄🥱😔😳😝
I never seen a bearing pushed out like that I always thought you had to use a press. You're pretty smart for a farm boy off there in the flyover country! Next thing you try to convince me that this is where shoes! 🤭
Boy you got your finger in the wrong place of that slide hammer you might have to say some very naughty words!!!😡🤬🔥💩
What is the little bearing you add to the kit ?? Not the big one u replaced
Wears dark glasses and screams a lot 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who? Scotty?😆
Needle nose pliers at an angle for snap ring.
Scotty! Cantstansya…
Replaced my first wheel bearing using your technique. Worked perfect! Excellent video…clear instruction. Thank you!
Assuming????!! Objection!!!
Good job it was a real eye opener.
Thank you for a very instructive video! Very well structured and detailed. I am trying to do the same om my 2003 toyota corolla. I have problems removing the big nut, 30mm. It does not matter what I use on it, it wont come out. So I was wondering, should use the hammer, and apply a big momentum on it or …..
Thanks man✌️
Great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Did you grease the bearing
Factoring in the labor cost, would it be cheaper to buy a new hub? I am not a mechanic, so it might not be a hub, but some kind of assembly.
Like your videos and the variety of topics..entertaining and educational…but I'm about what's going on in the background…is thier a giant hole in your shops roof?..can't help but notice large puddle of water and rain falling on it…
Stupid question but what is that style strap called? Never seen one like it and it looks useful lol
toyota junk
Then over to the press I have a selection of old well casings fit over the hub and press hub out
Order a new snap ring use a torch old cut the snap ring in the middle takes the tension off the snap ring I’ve done hundreds of press in bearings warm up old snap ring rattle it with air chisel and they come out I do them on the bench
You are good, very calm during work, always have positive attitude and little funny. It’s good to watch your clip. Thanks for the tips

Eric, just wanted to thank you again for these videos. 5 years ago I asked you (below) about doing the same thing on my 2009 Sienna. I chickened out then and had it done at a shop that didn't have a press and they were upfront saying that it might not last because they didn't press it in. Well 5 years later at 224K miles the same bearing needed to be replaced. I bought a wheel bearing kit from HF and ordered the bearing and hub and did it myself last week following the same process you used here. Was a little difficult the get the bearing out but the rest went well and I saved about $200 over buying the entire assembly. Thanks for posting these, they really do help!
Great job performing the task and explaining the process and principles. Commented to my wife, "I could definitely work with this guy! "
Is it raining in his garage?
Can u use a torch to heat up on. Low heat
Great Video!
It’s always nice to have the right tools for the job
