rear wheel bearing question

[1991 starlet owner]

Are these easy to get out and replace or does the hub need to come off and the bearings pressed out ??

Thanks, tom.

id also like to know this, the bearing and disk assemblies you can get hold of, are they an easy fit?

[Idrees]

Yes they are an easy to fit, they aren't pressed in like the fronts.

I think you just place them in, seen a set being removed and they seemed kinda loose-ish (ie not pressed)

Aaahhh right! Thank you for replies? What sort of price am I looking at to replace the rear two? (I would look myself but at work atm)

Thanks, tom

They are tapered bearings.

They dont need to be pressed in but the race will be pressed in.

You dont use a socket to tighten them either when you are re fitting them.

You screw them tight by hand then use something like water pump pliers to tighten them a little more then there will be a crown for the castle nut and a split pin to stop it coming loose.

If you tighten these too much the bearing will over heat and melt welding itself to the stub axle and causing the wheels to lock which could be very dangerous so be careful.
