2. Had to do the same job on my brothers Tacoma, thanks for the video. It helped me out immensely. God Bless.

3. Sorry for being tardy to the party. I love your videos, you've saved my hide more times than I'd like to admit😅. What are your thoughts on the assemblies that come with the axle, bearing, backing plate, axle seal, and o-ring all together? It's made by Dorman… That way we'd just have to swap over the brake components.

4. Just open the bleeder screw and let it gravity bleed good to go

5. When can I drop mine off?

6. Thanks for posting

7. really good work😀

8. So if your going to send stuff flying, send a lot of stuff flying. Right on brother lol

9. I can't get the axle back in any suggestions?

10. hi, what is the name of this style of differential that you dont have to remove the cover and get out the C clips?

11. Ooh the dreaded cold sweat middle of the night wakeup!! I forgot to tightene the freaking bolt😂

12. Un momento,, 😎😎thanks youu for your help, Erick God bless you

13. I use an oversized old bearing inner race to support the bearing so I can lay the press blocks flat. That is just me.
    Good video.

14. Really enjoyed watching and listening to you do this job, I’m old school taught also.

15. Fantastic step by step. Building an axle for my Tacoma and just pulled off the bearings tonight. Will be going with new OEMs. This video helped me understand the process easily.

16. Wow. Those backing plates are 10 times as rusty as the ones on my Toyota Pickup, and it's from 1994!

17. Eric O, I recently acquired a Tacoma that needs a rear bearing after 6 months. Here I am watching the real world guy doing the very job I need to tackle. Now I'm looking forward to getting it done and not hearing the bearing groaning/droaning at 50 mph. I am thankful for the guidance. I've done many bearings, but it helps to see the steps in some detail. I'll try not to send a lot if stuff flying! Happy Thanksgiving!

18. We say the same thing to our wives just waiting on u hun ok just met me finish this lmao

19. So 4×4 and 2wd are same or different?

20. I just completed replacing both front wheel bearing hub assemblies on my 2011 Tacoma TRD Offroad 4×4, felt like I could take on replacing the rear bearings as well….then I watched this video and said no thanks…..then a few days passed and in my mind I grew bold and said, “yeah I think I’ll do it myself”, then I watched the video again and the realist in me said “ no, you don’t want to mess with that kind if a hassle when you don’t have a press nor the tool to remove the bearing!” Thanks for the video, I could probably do it but I think I saved enough money already by replacing all the ujoints (5qty) and the carrier bearing and the two front bearing assemblies, that cost savings will pay for the shop charge for replacing the rear! Thanks for the video!

21. Eric, if you would take time to build you a square box out of The 2 buy 4s You have, and you could set that backing plate down on the 2 by force. And it won't wobble and flop around on You ,gonna work just fine, Just saying

22. Just found your flick.Since I have to change out rearend on my Toy Tac,04.They are scarcer then chicken teeth.Nice vid.When I saw the venny sitting there waiting to get bit,I knew it was gonna b ok..thanx

23. Thank you eric very well done

24. That's a crazy design. Never liked the banjo rear end. Like you said, replacing bearings and seals on my GMC is a breeze. Thanks Eric!

25. I love this guy!

26. What does it cost to do both wheel bearings

27. 👍👍👍

28. I wish all techs were as honest and GOOD as you are. I would love to have my vehicles repaired by someone like you.

29. Your videos are invaluable. Thanks Eric!

30. Once again, I'm able to watch a pro tackle a somewhat unfamiliar problem (to me). Wonderful work. Umm, it appears that both you and your wife are relatively young so what's with the "old girl" ?

31. This isn’t a bad job to do just take your time and put it all back together as it came apart. I did buy the tools. But one could be made if you had access to an old axle and some pipe and a welder.

32. Good job AMIGO

33. Love how you leave the hard parts in, so I can see exactly what I’m in for!!!

34. Wow! Makes not want to not buy a Toyota now 😂

35. Some repairs no DIY person should attempt without either experience, monitoring by an experienced person, and all the tools that may be needed. It's nice to do it yourself and save money, but it gets expensive when it's done wrong and either that part has to be replace again or an entire new/used unit has to be installed.
