    4 run, 2 don't
    What's wrong with buying the individual parts?

    You'd have to press the old one out of the spindle before pressing in the new ones.

    I think that's exactly what they're trying to avoid.

    Yeah I’m not so experience so trying to avoid that also was thinking if I have to pay someone to do it or buy a press then take a chance and hopefully don’t damage anything figure just try to find one already pressed

    Wouldn't hurt to check, probably cheaper too. Look up the tacomaworld discount for 5 percent off all orders

    OME and worth every penny.
    The only way to get one premade is to buy a complete spindle from someone who has already done all the pressing. Since first gens had a few different ways to have gotten a front wheel. (ABS or no, ADD or no) it would have been very hard to someone to have undertaken the risk to do it at home and make a few bucks, not to mention shipping spindles all over America gets expensive.


    Pull off your spindles and bring all your stuff to a machine shop. Most do it. I made the mistake of using a 4WD place here and all they did was complain how hard it was for them. (And they buggered one) The machine shop just did it without batting an eye.

    BTW, Timmah from this site has a video on YouTube how to do it yourself that you can use to disassemble the front.

    The hub and bearing is pressed INTO the spindle. It is not like the second gens. If you want the thing pre assembled you need to buy a whole used spindle

    Local junk yards, but honestly your better off removing the spindle and having a machine shop
    Do the pressing

    B1B401CA-B649-4738-93C7-1D8D24DA94A8.jpg The Toyota FSM shows a puller to remove the hub and a press to remove the bearing
    If the op only needs a hub, he should be able to use a puller to remove the old and press in the new one

    Removing the old hub always damages the inner race..

    Either. The race is split in the middle. The side closest to the hub face always comes off with the hub
