RICHARDA Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Apollodog, Without being patronising - thought of trying your local Toyota dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many Thanks Never had to buy one, but guessing about 80 quid. Fitting is not most peoples idea of DIY though, it's pretty involved. i am in Shropshire and could supply or fit for you if it helps.

SimonB Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Ok, here goes. This was from my local Toyota dealer when I had one replaced. This was for a facelift car, but I imagine they are the same. There are loads of oil seals, circlips and god knows what else: Needle bearing 125.45 Circlip 1.59 Oil seal 16.51 Deflector,w/brg 18.63 Nut 1.95 Plate, Lock nut 5.69 Pin, cotter 0.16 Oil seal 21.16 Total 191.14 (224.59 inc VAT) Plus a shed-load for labour of course. I've got the part numbers if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 I would imagine you can source the bearing from a bearing supplier, but as Chris Wilson is in the same part of the country, it would be an idea to talk to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Yeah, pricey isn't it. Mind you this is Toyota, so you probably don't need to replace half the oil seals etc etc. And you might be able to haggle a bit I suppose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 You've got to be crazy Simon. If the bearing's gone the seals won't be anywhere near perfect. This is like changing a clutch plate but not the release bearing - while the gearbox is out... Why is it people buy what was a £40,000 supercar and expect it to cost Ford Escort prices to maintain?

Saved me saying it You could try contacting Jeff Watson at Jaymarkstoyota in the US, the prices are better over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Martin F Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 As a guide just the bearing from JayMarks is $62.10. So half the UK price already. Give Jeff a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I have a bill from Toyota for the whole lot . I'd always get everything changed personally, especially for critical things like wheel bearings, but I didn't know if it was essential to replace all the nuts and other bits n bobs - sounds like it is. They charged 2.6 hours labour btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
