Very Noisey Rear Hub

[kazam401]

Feck this is sounding more complex than ever..........will let you know how much Toyo quotes tomorrow

[kazam401]

Shaft is off and bearing is totally goosed..........so am I trying to get the ?????? thing apart ..................garage time

[kazam401]

Half way there Got the old bearing off at work last night, using some made up tooling and plenty of different sized bolts, worked well .

The 3rd Gen seems to be a bit different from the diagrams I have seen, it has 2 locking collars, gear (internal sensor) for the ABS and bearing all of which need to be drawn off the shaft.

Must say this isn't really a DIY job but as I got a quote of £241 + Vat off my local Toyo dealer I thought I may as well give it a go (the money tree in the back garden hasn't born any fruit yet)
Just waiting (scaffold tube in hand) for monday delivery day for new bearing

Will try and do some sort of write up when I finish.

I did have a look in my Haynes manual for you but I couldn't find anything about it

[kazam401]

SUCCESS job done, re-fitting the bearing, locking rings and ABS sensor gear was a doddle compaired to removal, especially when your tooled up (4 foot mild steel tubing with custom made ends, and 4lbs raw hide mallet)
Am all tooled up for this job now (removal and re-fitting), and will be doing a comprehensive (ish) write up when I get round to it, so will be able to help out (tool wise) should anyone else be unfortunate enough to damage their rears.

Rob - just out of interest, how many km's has your truck done? Mine's done 150,700km and i'm wondering at what sort mileage these bearings give up.

[kazam401]

Came in showing 58000kms now added 8000 miles.

I dont think the rear bearings can be serviced (greased) they get oil splashed from the rear axle.

On removal my rear near side was pretty solid, but it looked like my outer seal was knacked, this was where all the gunk came from in the drum, need some more diff oil now, as I lost a bit when doing the job.

Dont know if its a bit of a weak spot, as I think any 4x4 axle deep in muddy water will suffer bearing problems. Going to have a look at the other 3 soon, just in case.

This started after the Easter weekend at Robin Hood & Langdale so it's been going on for a while.

No signs of the bearing totally going......just the increased noise prompted me into doing something...............and at £241 + vat at Toyo garage........................ .had to try myself.

[Rob]

hmm, i'll just wait 'til they start making a noise then
I've heard [on yotatech] that it's very common for 3rd gens to munch through plenty of rear axle seals.....

[kazam401]

NOT HAPPY Off side bearing has now gone, same noise same milage to within a couple of 100.

Lucky me?........................... .yer I get loadsa luck.............just the wrong sort

[marky]

So why did you not replace it

[JimL]

He did ... the left one went so he did the fix but now the right side has gone the same way

[marky]

JIM what a bugga. i usually replace both sides at the same time like you would with brake shoes etc

[JimL]

reads like you dont wanna do this though if you dont gotta Markyman

[da SLUG man]

hurry up with the distructions... i gotta do mine too!!... just the seal though.
