Toyota 42450-60050 Axle Bearing

First, you can remove the rear axleshaft assembly by releasing the parking brake and raising the rear of the vehicle, supporting it on jack stands. Remove the wheels, brake caliper and disc, ABS sensor, and parking brake cables. Take out the parking brake shoes and backing plate mounting nuts. Pull the axleshaft out of the rear axle housing along with the backing plate. Remove the Wheel Bearing, O-ring and Wheel Seal. Specialized tools and a hydraulic press are needed for further disassembly. For replacement of the axleshaft, bearing, or outer oil seal, take it to an automotive machine shop. To install, drive a new axleshaft inner seal into the axle tube and coat the lip with clean oil or grease. Install a new axle housing O-ring. Clean the axleshaft, removing any burrs or splinters, and deburr any surface irregularities. Lightly coat the axle shaft with oil and insert it into the axle housing, being careful not to damage the new axleshaft seal. Finally, reinstall the components in reverse order, tightening the four backing plate mounting nuts to the specified torque.
