Replacing wheel bearings [Toyota Carina T170]

Figure 212 shows an assembly drawing of the rear wheel hub with the wheel bearing located in it. The location of the bearing is the same for disc and drum brakes.

• Clamp the flange (7) of the hub in a vice with metal gaskets and loosen the nut (1) from the rear side of the wheel hub with a chisel and hammer.
• Unscrew the nut.
• Press the axle with the hub flange out of the wheel hub or use a puller, as shown in Figure 214. You can also knock out the shaft with a soft metal punch.

• Remove the inner bearing race (2) from the bearing.
• Using a puller, as shown in Figure 194, remove the inner race of the outer bearing (5) from the axle.
• Remove the oil seal (6) from the axle
• Reinsert the inner bearing race (5) into the bearing, place the wheel hub on the press table and press out the bearing. The stop used must be placed against the outer diameter of the bearing. The bearing must always be replaced as a whole. Clean all parts. Thoroughly rinse the bearing in clean petrol and blow it with compressed air without turning the bearing. If there are signs of wear, wear or discoloration, replace the bearing. If there are signs of abrasion on the hub, this means that the inner bearing races have been turned. In this case, replace the hub. Light scratches can be removed with a file lubricated with oil.

The wheel hub assembly is carried out as follows:

• Place the hub face down on the press and press or hammer the wheel bearing in from the rear. Place the drift against the outside diameter of the bearing.
• Lubricate the lips of the new seal and press it from the outside into the wheel bearing housing.
• Insert both inner races into the bearing and tap lightly.
• Place the hub flange on the press table and place the wheel bearing housing with the pressed bearing on the axle. Place the press stop against the inner bearing race and press the bearing housing onto the axle.
• Clamp the wheel hub flange in metal spacers in a vice and screw on and tighten a new nut to a torque of 125 Nm.
• Lock the nut with a hammer and chisel in accordance with Figure 215, driving the nut's projection into the groove of the axle without crushing the material. The chisel must be sufficiently blunt.
