i have a 1989 toyota corolla and have recently been feeling and hearing a huming noise when i drive coming from my tires.i tried to figure it out but found it difficult to reach the bearing.how would one go about reaching and changing it in the esiest way or if there is a website where i can find more info such as drawings.Whats the easiest way to change a wheel bearing on a car.?
I think that you will have cv joints on the front that could be the problem. Otherwise bearings should be right behind the bearing caps on the end of the axleS. Not a toyota guy but this might help.

well its not a easie job you have to the wheel off pull ur hub assembly off beings its corola its more then likley a pressd bearing take the whole bub into machine shop and have them press out the old wheel beairng and press in the new put the hub assembly back on and get it alighned you could also cheat and just buy a new hub assembly if its cheap enough that might be a easier routeWhats the easiest way to change a wheel bearing on a car.?

i would rather bring it to a professional mechanic. to get to the bearing you have to remove the tire, disassemble the brakes, drop the tie-rod,remove the shock absorber mount and pull out the bearing. this will be very hard to do with out a mechanical lift and dangerous to do it with jacks. secondly, it is so messy cleaning up the bearing assembly and repacking the new bearing with new grease,you better be ready to get really dirty! I tell you it would be worth every penny to have it done at a shop! may the divine light lead you to the right solution.......and dont forget that your car is a front wheel drive,if you mess up something while disassembling or during reassembly, you're gonna be in a big, big mess!Whats the easiest way to change a wheel bearing on a car.?
Check the parts lists at such sites as partsamerica.com, they may be a sealed unit.
