91 toyota pickup wheel bearing HELP?

dizzydogg

okay i got a 91 toyota pickup dlx 4x4.. both my front wheel (l,r) bearings are bad. i checked a auto repair place today and they said 700 dollars to fix it!! i need to know if i could possibly just get the hub assembly (lockouts, everything, etc.) from another toyota at a junkyard. i found both hubs for 50.00 each at a junkyard with the yota only having 70,000 miles. i was thinking i could do this but does the bearings come in the hub? would it be an easier job to do? i just need an opinion on what would be the best idea. thank you!!

OEM quality bearing may cost you around $100, OK say $150 with a guarantee of 100K miles, $300 total, and does it mean they want $200 for each wheel? that does not look adequate.















Try visiting some other garages they should be able to do to $100 both.

'90-'95 are the years applicable for donors. pu and 4runners only. no cruisers. there are inner and outer bearings there. so check 'em both. 4 total.































inner bearing is pressed into the disc/rotor. you can get the old bearing pressed out and new pressed in at any garage or some auto stores. 20 bucks for both +-.















































the outer bearing just rides on the spindle. not pressed onto anything. then the locker goes over it.

but to get to everything, and this is important, you need to do this,

presoak the cone washers with you favorite penatrant.































the spindles need to be inspected as well. and of coarse the new bearings need to be packed. local shop will pack 'em fer a few bucks or show you how. or google a diy for that.































you can get timken or beck/arnley bearings for 20-50 bucks each.















but i strongly suggest in this area you don't scrimp. buy a toyota/ASIN bearing. it will cost double. but it will last forever with proper maint.































the cost to have someone do it would be the hourly rate locally (call around- 60-80 bucks a shop hour, +-) times two or three hours for both, plus what ever they charge you for the bearings. so 200 +- is a good labor cost on both, w/o the bearing cost.































here is the parent page to that info i posted,
