Toyota Wheel Bearing press tool
 

Long shot but does anyone have the tool required to press the axle shaft from the wheel bearing? Specifically this would be for a 2005 Toyota sequoia but as I understand it the Tundra is the the same and the 4 runner should be the same as well. Would look something like this:

Just need the tube part that bolts to the hub assembly

I have a set of these arbor press plates for my HF press. Could you use something like this to straddle the axle tube under the flange? Unfortunately, my press is inaccessible right now. But IIRC, these plates may have come with the HF press, so maybe others (closer to you) may have, too.

Thanks for the idea Tony, unfortunately due to the width of the mounting flange it won't fit between the rails of a standard press. On the bright side i pulled it all apart last night and the bearing actually feels pretty good. The only thing I need to do is to replace a retainer which also acts as the sealing surface for the inboard seal.

Anyone in the Springfield or Merrifield areas have a press I can use for a half an hour or so?

Falls church

You know I have one too. Stop by and see the Grumps, press out the bearing. Win/Win

Seriously boy-o, you don't think you can add spacers to the rails???

Feels good in hand and good under load often not the same. ;)

Thanks for the offer!

I couldn't remember if you had one or not but one way or another I need to swing by with the boy.

I don't think it would work out too well.

I don't have any noise or vibration just an oil leak and the existing ring has a nice groove worn into it that is deep enough it catches my finger nail. I have the bearing in hand but I was leaning towards just doing the retainer but I would hate to have to do the job twice. Decisions decisions....
