How to service and repair the rear wheel bearing on 2000 Toyota Avalon?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step for servicing or repairing the rear wheel bearing requires wheel removal with a torque setup of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf.cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Safely mount the brake caliper empty and separated from the disc using torque of 47 Nm (475 kgf.cm, 34 ft. lbs.). The axial movement of the axle hub bearings at their midpoint should be measured using a dial indicator that shows less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch) because increased backlash warrants changing the hub unit. Checking the axle hub surface deviation beyond the hub bolt will help determine when to replace the hub because the maximum value must be 0.07 mm (0.0028 inch). The ABS speed sensor disconnect requires removal of its bolt followed by increasing torque to 8.0 Nm (82 kgf.cm, 71 inch lbs.). Disassemble the rear axle hub by removing its 4 bolts with 80 Nm (820 kgf.cm, 59 ft.lbs.) torque while removing the O-ring properly to coat a new O-ring with MP grease throughout installation. Use a torque wrench to fasten the backing plate then loosen the 3 rear axle carrier nuts by applying 196 Nm (2,000 kgf.cm, 145 ft. lbs.) to nut A when reusing it while using 255 Nm (2,600 kgf.cm, 188 ft. lbs.) for new nut A and 181 Nm (1,850 kgf.cm, 134 ft. lbs.) to nut B. Reposition the suspension suspension to a normal position before applying final torque to the nuts while adding engine oil to threads when reusing either of the 2 nuts A. To disconnect the strut rod from the rear axle carrier, remove its bolt and nut while maintaining the nut position straight and apply a torque at 113 Nm (1,150 kgf.cm, 83 ft. lbs.). Follow this sequence to disassemble the shock absorber: first remove its 2 lower bolts then the nut, washer along with bolt and disconnect the No. 1 and No. 2 lower suspension arm before evacuating the rear axle carrier. Installation procedure begins with the inverse order of removal steps while you check ABS speed sensor signals and realign the rear wheels post-installation.
