Toyota Avensis Wheel Bearing

[joe67]

anyone done one of these, its for a 1.8.. easy enough?

Rears are fairly simple and the bearings are part of a bolt off bolt on hub assembly the front however are a press fit and require a press the separate the hub from the bearing

had to do a rear on mine and as devon aygo says just bolt on bolt off hub.got hub from local branch of car spares £70.pleanty of wd and after ten minutes all bolts removed.2 hours later hub still on car wouldnt budge wven smacking hell out of it with 2 pound lump hammer.in the end toyota did it cost approx£120 and even they said it was a pain to get out.

i got it done today, am !Removed! sick! the noise wasnt the wheel baring after all...

droaning sound when driving, seems louder when brake at times?

edit: brake pads have plenty life

I have made the same mistake, but not costly, of thinking it was the wheel bearing. In my case it was a tyre which sounded worse if the pressure was lowish or had weight over the axle. The tyres inner structure fails with age, but looks fine on the outside.

Swap the wheel and see if the drone disappears.

This tyre sounding like a failed wheel bearing has been mentioned in the forum before.

i already tryed the tyre mate, i had done the brake pipes so put the better tread on the front, rules out that.
