How to service and repair the rear wheel bearing on 2002 Toyota Avalon?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step for servicing and repairing the rear wheel bearing requires removal of the rear wheel after tightening it to 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft. lbs.). Secure the brake caliper before you detach it from the disc component using a 475 kilogram force-centimeter torque and support it in position. A dial indicator should measure bearing backlash at the center of the axle hub to check if it exceeds 0.05 mm (0.0020 inch); substitute the axle hub if this condition exists. An axle hub replacement should be done if the surface deviation measurement outside the hub bolt reaches more than 0.07 mm (0.0028 inch). Before dismantling the ABS speed sensor connect its bolt and tighten to 8.0 Nm using 82 kgf-cm or 71 inch lbs. Execute the removal of the rear axle hub through the removal process of the 4 bolts at 80 Nm torque setting (820 kgf-cm, 59 ft. lbs.) and discard the O-ring, apply MP grease during O-ring installation. Securely fasten the backing plate before tightening the rear axle carrier nuts to 196 Nm (2,000 kgf-cm, 145 ft. lbs.) for reused nut A 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.) for nut B. Apply engine oil to the threads of any reused nuts A after suspension stability and next tighten them to specification. Unfasten the bolt on the rear axle carrier as well as the nut by taking out the bolt while keeping the nut stationary and apply 113 Nm of torque (1,150 kgf-cm, 83 ft. lbs.). Follow this procedure to remove the shock absorber lower side nuts and bolts along with separating the No. 1 and No. 2 lower suspension arms from the rear axle carrier by removing its nut and washer and bolt. Finally detach the rear axle carrier. To install the product follow the removal steps in reverse order while inspecting the ABS speed sensor signal and testing the rear wheel alignment.
