Being the most important parts that allow the wheels to spin on a vehicle means that the bearings go through a lot of strain. Not only they have to leave the wheels free to spin, but they also need to keep them connected to the vehicle and support its weight.
So, as you can imagine, the bearings will quit on you one day and you’ll have to replace them. Here we’ll take a look at how to remove the rear wheel bearing of a 2007 Toyota Camry. You’ll need a breaker bar, ratchet wrench set, jack stand, rubber gloves and a jack. Here are some quick tips:
Place the Camry on an even surface, put it in Park or activate the parking brake
Loosen the 5 wheel nuts but don’t take them out
Raise the car and place the jack stand under it to secure its position
Now you can remove the wheel nuts and the wheel itself
Remove the two bolts holding the caliper and take it out
Also, remove the brake disk
Remove the four bolts holding the bearing assembly and disconnect the ABS connector
Take out the old bearing assembly and replace it with the new one.
