ANTI-SEIZE!

I agree - I always suggest replacing both. One typically follows the other.

2005+ Tacoma 2004+ 4Runner

I've got the 05+ Tacoma 4x4 assemblies for $175 shipped www.jerseybuilthubs.com

That has to be the record for mileage on factory bearings

128k. 58k of those were abuse and she still wants more

Agreed. If you have replaced the front brakes you are only 4 bolts and a 35mm nut away from replacing the assembly.

$450! That's a lot for just replacing the bearing. I have 100% new assemblies for $175 shipped. Basic hand tools and a torque wrench is all you need to do the job.

Agreed. I had one fail without warning on my 2005 Tacoma. I was lucky enough to only be 10 miles from home. It was dangerously close to damaging the rotor and caliper.

no problem. i have been building and swapping these hub assemblies for 4 years :) www.jerseybuilthubs.com

The abs sensor is attached at the spindle. Easily accessed. The hub assembly can be a pain to remove, soak it with PB blaster and try to loosen it with hammer strikes.

2004 is a completely different design. It is not a bolt on. The bearing is pressed into the spindle.

Yes basic tools plus a 35mm socket for the axle nut & a torque wrench capable of 173 ft/lb's to torque that nut on installation.
