    Default Removing Gt4 celica drive flanges and wheel bearings

    So I brought a 12T press on saturday and it took me 15mins to break it just wanting to confirm theres nothing different about gt4 hubs

    so theres no seal or circlips holding the hub centre into the bearing and it should just push out correct??

    Awesome. Well done

    correct about nothing holding the hub into the inner race.
    But I can't remember if there's anything securing the bearing outer race to the upright or not.

    there is no clip holding the inner race to the hub, but there is a big circlip securing the outer race to the upright.

    The hubs normally press out of the spindle(upright) without too much trouble, the inner race of the bearing normally tags along with it... I've heard of people having trouble pressing the outer race from the spindle though - as jonathan yee said there is a circlip to remove for that one (behind the seal I think by memory?)

    how did you go with these?
    i know front and rear are opposite rears you push out the front of the hub and the fronts you push out the rear, so they go opposite ways its a bit annoying. it take a lot of force to push the stub axles out.
    mine came out with a large crack, thought i cracked the housing but they are just that tight, and rears are tighter than the fronts for some reason.
