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

Question

Accepted Answer

You should start servicing or repairing the wheel bearing by taking out the front wheel. Test the bearing backlash and axle hub deviation by taking off both bolts along with brake caliper and disc before properly supporting the brake caliper. A dial indicator should measure backlash at the center of the axle hub because excessive 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch) backlash warrants bearing replacement. Measure the deviation on the axle hub surface beyond the hub bolt which should be less than 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch); if not replace the axle hub. Reinstall the disc followed by the brake caliper and both bolts while torquing them to 107 Nm (1,090 kgf-cm, 79 ft. lbs.). After removing the cotter pin and lock cap from the drive shaft lock nut position, personnel should use brakes during the nut's removal procedure. Repeat this process by taking out the two bolts on the brake caliper along with the disc before safely positioning the brake caliper. To disconnect the ABS speed sensor you must remove the bolt that fastens the wire harness clamp. Use Special Service Tool: 09610-20012 to disconnect the tie rod end from the steering knuckle through removal of its nut and cotter pin. Lower suspension arm needs disconnecting from the lower ball joint through removal of its bolt and two nuts. Procure the steering knuckle with axle hub by first disassembling its two nuts and bolts while maintaining safety of the boot and ABS speed sensor rotor. Put the steering knuckle with axle hub into position first while watching for boot and ABS speed sensor rotor damage then apply engine oil to the 2 nuts and use the 2 bolts and nuts on the shock absorber's lower side before torquing to 220 Nm (2,250 kgf-cm, 162 ft. lbs.). Install and torques the lower suspension arm toward the lower ball joint at 127 Nm (1,300 kgf-cm, 94 ft. lbs.). Install the steering knuckle-tie rod end connection before adding a new cotter pin with the nut. Tighten the nut by a further 60 degrees beyond the correct position if the holes do not match. Torque the nut until its measurement reaches 49 Nm (500 kgf-cm, 36 ft. lbs.). Fasten the ABS speed sensor along with its wire harness clamp using 8.0 Nm (82 kgf-cm) torque value (71 inch lbs). First reinstall the disc along with the brake caliper nut along with two bolts at 107 Nm (1,090 kgf-cm, 79 ft. lbs.) torque. Then tighten the brake nut to 294 Nm (3,000 kgf-cm, 217 ft. lbs.) with applied brakes. Afterward, install the lock cap then a new cotter pin while adding an additional 600 torque on the nut when the holes are misaligned. Begin by measuring bearing backlash and axle hub deviation before tightening the front wheel with 103 Newton meters (1,050 kilogram feet centimeters or 76 foot pounds). Afterwards use the brake pedal several times then verify front wheel alignment and ABS speed sensor signal.
