Really good video. No blabbing just video. Nice! 14:19 I did this exact job today on a 2013 RAV4. Two things I learned: 1. That hub and axle do not always come apart that easy. No matter how much penetrating oil you use or what brand. I had to get a 12 ton hub puller rental at Auto Zone to get mine to separate. My 7 ton hub puller catastrophically failed. 2. I learned how to rethread the spindle. Yes I put the nut on before I hit the end. The nut actually slid up the threads and destroyed them. Harbor Freight saved the day there. This is actually an easy job if the axle pops loose easily like this video. If not get a good hub puller and a can of PB Blaster or WD 40. Spray then apply pressure and hit the hub with a hammer. Repeat until it pops off. The rest is child’s play.

I'm doing this next week, two front Hubs on a Rav4 EV. Getting hard deep knocking sound when turning. Any other suggestions ? Looks like a Hub Puller is the way to go ? 99,000 miles.

Great video. I was stuck until I saw you hit the axle with the sledge. Thanks.

Good idea to change pads and rotors while your at it aswell

Thank you I have Toyota rav4 2007

Thanks for the easy to follow video. That's a nice torque wrench! I haven't seen one that have a flex head. Can you tell the brand name of the one you're using? Or a link where you got it? Thanks! Keep it coming.

That’s a snap-on 3/8 digital torque wrench w/ flex head. I got it on the Snap-On truck from work.

what size of socket do you use to remove the axel nut
