A DIY FOR REPLACING YOUR REAR HUB & BEARING on a GT (I am not a mechanic so used this guide at your own risk! The reasonwhy I am changing my hub and bearing because the hub exceeded thebearing backlash maximum. The way I checked it was by lifting up thecar, and pushing on wheel left and right. It moved around a lot, plusit was making a winding noise when driving some what like having wintertires on in the summer. I did this on a 1995 GT Convertible, so I'm notsure if this applies to a ST with drums. Good luck, and I hope thishelps one person at least!) TOOLS & PARTS LIST   (look at picture one) - jack + jack tools - wheel block - jack stand - 1/2 ratchet + extension - 3/8 ratchet + extension - torque wrench - 14mm socket (deep and short) - 12mm socket - 21mm socket - gloves - clamp - mp grease - hub & bearing (42410-20150) - bearing oil ring (90301-63006) (not in picture) - Toyota manual - hammer - towel SETUP & PREPARATION  1. loosen lug nuts with a 21mm socket  2. place wheel blocker  3. raise car with jack, and place a jack stand under the car for safety reasons *if you have a convertible you should unlatch your top to avoid any extra pressure that happens from jacking up your car* 4. remove lug nuts and than the wheel REMOVAL  5. remove caliper bolt with a 12mm socket 6. push the caliper towards the inside of the car and lift the caliper up to remove the brake pads  7. remove the 2 caliper housing bolts with 14mm socket *I had one hell of time removing the top one, i used a deep 14 for this*  8. remove brake disc *I had alot of trouble removing the brake disc, what i did was i usedthe caliper bolt to push the disc out, the Toyota manual says you canreturn the shoe adjuster until the wheel turns freely, if your brakedisc does not come off easily*  9. spin the hub until you can see the bolt behind the hub assembly shown in picture 8 * spin it around to see the other ones, there are four of them*  *i had to tug on the brake shoe to get to the bolts on the left side*  *here is a comparison of the my new and old hub & bearing* 10. remove the oil ring, its almost invisible but it should be there! INSTALLATION  11. install new oil ring, remeber to put some MP grease on it first  12. bolt down the hub back by doing the reverse order of removal *rememberthe torque specification is 59 Ft lbs, I installed the bolts acrossfrom each other the same way you tighten a lug nuts on a wheel* 13. install everything back in the reverse order of removal CONGRATULATIONS!
