Hilux Wheel Bearings

Post by AHF01U »

I have a solid front end hilux and decided to replace the wheel bearings while i am doing the swivel hubs.
Any suggestions on the best ones to get?
Thanks.

Cheers yamaha 308.
Just bought one.
Going to sound rather daft here but are they the wheel bearings in that kit cause i was assuming they would be for the swivel hubs and a bit larger?
Thanks for the bearings Dents LN65. Where do you get them?

Also just got the hubs off and have come across a huge nut (passenger side). Would this be left or right thread? Also, would it be ok to get this off with a drift of some sort? I don't want to fark the nut but she's on tight. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx.

52mm nut- you can buy a socket on ebay for around $25. If you fark it, its expensive to replace, and if it comes undone, your stub axle can fall off! :oops:

the nut shouldn't be tight there is a locking washer with bits that are folded up against the edge of the nut you will need to bend this out of the way before you can undo it.

new wheel bearing nut tool $28
I sell terrain tamer wheel bearing kits they have timkin bearings. I can get them seperate but can be more expensive than getting a kit.
