Q: Why Should Experienced Mechanics Handle the Removal of the Wheel Hub and Bearing from the Steering Knuckle on 2003-2009 Toyota 4Runner?
A: Because special tools and high skills are needed to take off the hub, the wheel bearing, the steering knuckle and finally separate the components, it is recommended that this job is done by the professional mechanics. However, it becomes very difficult to remove the steering knuckle and hub altogether, and sometimes the whole assembly is transported to a repair garage fitted with appropriate instruments for the removing process.
Q: Should the Wheel Hub and Bearing be Pressed from the Steering Knuckle by a Professional Shop on Toyota Camry?
A: Due to the special tools and expertise required to press the hub and bearing from the steering knuckle, this job should be left to a professional shop. However, the steering knuckle and hub may be removed and the assembly taken to a dealer service department or other repair shop.
Q: Is it advisable to remove the Wheel Hub and bearing from the steering knuckle without proper tools and expertise on a 2005-2009 Toyota Tacoma?
A: This job requires specially equipped tools and knowledge for removing the hub and wheel bearing from the steering knuckle and then disassembling it, so this is a job for the professionals only. However, in 2WD models, excluding the PreRunner, the steering knuckle and the hub may be taken off and the assembly may be transported to a workshop having the necessary tools. In PreRunner and 4WD models the hub and bearing assembly can be loosened from the steering knuckle and transported to a repair center that has all the tools. The torque Tightening must be met so to the hub assembly to steering knuckle bolts are tightened with the proper torque.
