2009 Tacoma hub/bearing replacement

Anyone do this themselves? Did you buy the bearings separate and bring it to a machine shop to have the hub pressed out or did you buy the complete assembly? Either way, what brand did you go with and where in the BR area can I get the press work done if I go that route?
It's a 4WD double cab V6.

Not sure about a Tacoma, but ive bought Temkin assemblys before. Why make it harder than it has to be?

I've done it it's really not bad. Although mine is not 4wd so I didn't have to worry about the big but that can be a pain in the arse to get off. I bought the already put together hub and bearings but after doing it I think I would save the money and buy the bearings then pull the old gun and hearing off being to a shop and let them do it

It's not hard, but I'd suggest going to Tacomaworld and and buying a complete hub assembly from this guy If you don't then yes, you'll have to have someone press the old one out and the new one in.

There's another dude on Taco World I bought mine from, bamatoy4x4 I think is his username, in Niceville, FL. I've put one of them on. Dudes legit as far as I know. His assembly was the same price as the Koyo bearing from Napa. Proper CV axle torque is important. There's not much to it.

I came here to ask this same question. I watched a few videos and it's just too much for me to deal with in my yard.

I checked with the guy on Tacoma world included in your link and a couple of others. I went with Bluepit Bearings who specialize in Toyota front hub/bearing assemblies. I like that he had a phone number listed for his business and I called and actually talked to the owner (who picks up the phone himself). A bit on the pricey side but it's very straight forward. No pressing, plug-n-play style. I'll update after changing out this weekend. Thanks for all feedback.

Just swapped out my front bearing/hub assembly this morning. Pretty straight forward. Used Blue Pit bearing/hub assemblies. Was finished by noon even with a trip to Toyota to get a new set of axle grease caps.
