Great tool. How about copper slip behind the pads… Over time, metal parts of the pads dig into the backing plate.
Sweet I’m in deer park rn
Woah! That bearing is toast! Cool tool. I freekin love that brake bleeder.
Great job. I would of changed out those wheel cylinders though, for the brakes. They will leak and destroy those brand new brake shoes.
What should it cost to do my 09’ Tacoma I wonder? I’m not able to do it myself anymore, which sucks.
How much did it cost to raptor the whole truck?
lets get some high heat paint on those hubs amigo
Nice tool, but not necessary for this kind of job. I was build a tool pretty similar to yours, but it did not work in my case under 20 ton press. I don't know why. Then I just took an angle grinder and made a cut on that collar very carefully. After hitting it a few times with a hammer it cracks down and fell off. To install a new collar I just heat it with the propane torch until it becomes dark-red and drop it down to the bearing. It fits perfectly in that way.
Nice projects. Good luck!
Austin you would make an excellent millwright should you ever want to switch.
Love that you built your own tools to make the job easier for you. Always so inspirational to watch man.
Great video! I just did this on my 3rd gen 4runner last year and the press tool made all the difference. I would just like to add that when you do the seals, it's always a good idea to replace the seal ring that presses on to the axle at the same time. Its cheap insurance to prevent rework. Sometimes if the seal ring has a "witness mark" from the old seal it it can cause new seals to leak due to the seal ring being worn. Yours looked okay in the video though. Its also a good idea to grease fit the seal to the seal ring to make sure that the seal ring is pressed on far enough for the seal to ride in the center of the seal ring. For ABS axles is should be around 5mm. Overall, awesome job! I always look forward to watching you work. You always put in the work and not buy your way out by having someone else do it or throw parts at the problem.
Is that deer park, TX?
I really enjoy your videos, especially the more technical ones like this one. Great work.
Nice video, but do you also have some play in the bearinghouse in and out? i mean, can you drag your hub/axle when installing the axle shafts to the axle housing after tight them up?
Love the truck Bro. Any further plans for it?
Very detailed video. I like how you made your own tool! Sometimes its more practical to custom fab your own tools.
а почему не поставишь дисковые тормоза , зачем тебе эти барабаны ?
Hey Austin great video! I have a question, On my girlfriend's 01 tacoma, there is a sort of whirling squeak distinctly coming from the rear of the truck. The noise is also only most prevalent when slightly on the gas, if you push and unpush the gas from that position you can hear it come and go. I'm wondering what made you decide to replace the wheel bearing? Were you experiencing some kind of related issues or just figured it was time to do.
awesome! built one a few years ago using an old axle housing and broken T5 first gear after nearly ruining my hands trying to "lift and smash" it off.
Aprovecha y colocale un diferencial autobloqueante..
Was that a 1in. Block used on the press? Nice tool btw! Great video ,keep us motivated to work on our clapped out 30y/o trucks!
Nice work. I sometimes wonder whether your methodical / surgical approach and attention to detail is just for the camera 🙂 Puts my efforts to shame!
So clean! Just did this job on my 4runner! Still watched the whole thing tho
The start of the video was awsome some nice editing there.
Man that truck looks sweet. But it is missing something, it’s missing rock sliders / nerf bars
