How do I replace Wheel bearings on my 2001 Toyota Avalon XL?

The rear has hub/bearing assemblies which simply bolt into place. They will run about $350 each from Toyota, but may be found cheaper from other sources. The fronts I don't have what I think is an accurate price on, but they are pressed into place and you are NOT going to get them out or back into the steering knuckle without a heavy-duty press, so that is best left to a professional. I'm afraid I have no clue what the first respondent is talking about, unless his is talking about a locale that uses salt in the winter. But when the hub comes out of the old bearing it usually takes a race with it, and that can be very tricky to get off.

Those bearings come in a bearing carrier. Removing the bearing usually breaks the carrier. The hub unit with the bearing pressed in comes all together and they're quite expensive. That is what you would replace. All four wheels is going to be almost $1000 worth of wheel bearings, not counting labor. Be sure the noise isn't from tread-separated tires. That car is awful young to need wheel bearings. I've seen Toyotas with over 200,000 miles that never had wheel bearing problems. See if the shop will loan 4 wheels to road test so you can tell if the tires are noisy from being worn out. Tread separation may not show on the outside of the tire.

do away with the wheels. Then take out the bolts on the bracket to which your brake calipers are fastened *you are able to pull them off at as quickly as, pads and all*. Then do away with you're brake rotors. there's a nut in the direction of your hub assembly *the axle nut*: do away with this; there is probable a cotter pin by the middle of it. Now, there are 2 retainer bolts on the backside of your struts. do away with those, and pry the precise of the steerage knuckle far off from the strut. As you try this *and you will would desire to easily artwork with it till you get it*, pull the CV axle out of the hub assembly. Then seem on the back of the hub assembly for 3 or 4 bolts. do away with those and you are able to pull the hub off. there is your wheel bearing. do away with the bearing, %. the hot one with grease *in simple terms take a glob of grease, placed the bearing between your palms, and press*, and insert the hot bearing. Then re-deploy the hub and bolts. next, re-align the steerage knuckle with the holes for the strut retainer bolts *DONT ignore TO RE-INSERT THE CV AXLE by the HUB AND deploy THE AXLE NUT AND TORQUE TO SPEC*, insert, and torque to spec. Take the brake disc and re-deploy it onto the wheel studs. Now, take a C-clamp or great pair of channel locks *do away with the brake pads earlier doing this* and press the caliper cylinder back in so its flush with the caliper. Reinstall the pads, and then re-deploy the entire assembly *pads, caliper, and bracket* onto the rotor and making particular the bolts are comfortable. Now placed the wheels back on, torque the lug nuts to specs, and you're solid to bypass.

very good question
