Today we have a rear axle bearing on a 2007 6 lug Tacoma. You will need some special tools in the form of a bearing tube and a press, but it's fairly straight forward otherwise. This process will be the same for 2005 Tacoma, 2006 Tacoma, 2007 Tacoma, 2008 Tacoma, 2009 Tacoma, 2010 Tacoma, 2011 Tacoma, 2012 Tacoma, 2013 Tacoma, 2014 Tacoma, 2015 Tacoma, 2016 Tacoma, 2017 Tacoma, 2018 Tacoma, 2019 Tacoma, 2020 Tacoma, 2021 Tacoma, 2022 Tacoma. The process on all Toyota axle bearings will be very similar to this.
