Frt axle bearing replacements

Howdy Mike

Here is the front axle drawing showing the component parts. (PG FA-07)
The attached following pages 9-12 give the blow by blow account.
No offense to our sponsor but those SST's (Special Service Tool) can be replaced with most other shop tools and equipment.

I had to replace 5-7 of these when I first got my 1989 S/C (racecar) which were priced at $90 each from our sweethearts at South East Toyota. (KInda curious how much you paid for your bearings?-others might want to know?)

Anyway, I finally figured out how to beat Toyota's piss poor engineering and installed greasable zerk fittings into the grease cap, something the cheap ass Toyota engineers
never gave a brain fart about?

Since then, I just pop it w the grease gun before the races and away I go for 15 years without a bearing failure.

I think I mentioned that the Japanese lost WW2 before right?

Hope that new car of yours gives you as many grins as I've gotten in 20 years.

Happy Motoring Ya'll
