The front wheel bearings on my 1999 Land Cruiser Amazon VX need replaced - is this commom and is this a big job ?

Is it possible to get the bearings other than through Toyota who are quoting approx £100 + VAT per side for the inner and outer before fitting ..........OUCH !!

who said they need replacing or is it a rumble you can hear ?
if they are a little worn you can adjust them as they are tapered roller bearings
it is not a difficult job to do but you will need a puller i purchased two for the fronts and brake discs and pads last week a local mechanic fitted them ans did a service for me very cheaply £60 for the work and same for the service but i brought all that was needed for the job
i forget who i dealt with for the discs bearings brakes ect i googled wheel bearings and a site came up who delivered the lot to my home address
i will try to find the site for you and post the website addy

wolf,
could you throw in some commas & periods.
I've been trying to make out what you're saying, but I kind of get lost.

Is this what you meant to say:

It is not a difficult job to do but you will need a puller i purchased, two for the fronts. And brake discs and pads. Last week a local mechanic fitted them and did a service for me very cheaply. £60 for the work and same for the service, but i brought all that was needed for the job.
i forget who i dealt with for the discs, bearings, brakes, ect. I googled "wheel bearings" and a site came up who delivered the lot to my home address.

ok ok, i've *beeped* off.
Just trying to keep up to date on this issue. Will need to do it myself one day...
Tomorrow I will repack the second of my front wheel bearings.

I find your postings very informative and helpful. Just this time I had problems reading through it at first. Entirely my problem though. Just asked for your help.
Good W.E.
