Review on 🔧 Top-Quality Timken HA592460 Axle Bearing and Hub Assembly for Superior Performance by Tim Lea

Bought for my wife's 2003 Camry as we thought the bearings were failing. I received the hubs on time. The standard removal installation is to loosen the 4 bolts holding the hub, remove the hub and then bolt on the new hub. Usually about 30 minutes of work. However, installation can present an issue that is not an issue with the hubs themselves. Old hubs rusted on the brake plate. This is probably a normal situation since the car has driven 150,000 miles. The only way to remove them is to remove the backplate entirely, which involves removing the emergency brake pads and associated hardware, removing the backplate, and pushing out the old hub. Or, like us, fully pull out the back of the hub where the ABS sensor is located, pull out the sensor, then loosen the bolt holding the wheel stud with a punch, and then hit with a hammer the hub behind the plate . Took 3 hours of work per wheel so if you do it yourself make sure you have the right tools. In the end, the original wheel bearings turned out to be pretty good as we were ill-advised as to what kind of noise we were hearing. But now we have new hubs, new brakes and rotors so it's good either way. The quality of the Timken hubs was excellent. They look just as good if not better than the OEM bushings. If you need to replace bushings, use them. Timken has always been known for quality and this is a prime example.
