Lexus Is 220D 2007 Rear Wheel Bearing Change

[marksaitis]

Hi All,

Is it difficult to change it at home with some tools? How long would it take? Is a good mechanical screw drivers kit enough for it?

I'd say not. Think you will have to press out the bearing on one side with a pressing tool (hydraulic ram). If you try and beat them out and then in you are likely to have one knackered set of bearings.

I have already purchased a new bearing which comes with a hub. So, how about that then? No pressing required here.

Give it a go then. Keep everything clean as dust/grit are your worst enemies.

Make sure you dress all parts with the correct grease and follow instructions to the letter.

There may be some bedding in and re torquing required.
