Celica wheel bearings - normd2
the Celica is rear wheel drive and has conical front bearings. There will be a cap over the central hub which once removed (it's a push fit) will show a large nut with a split pin. Remove the split pin, undo the nut and then there's a large flat washer to come off too. Remove the bearing (may have to rock the brake disc to help it out) and check all the bearings and the internal face they run on. If ok regrease the bearings and re-assemble. Assuming you don't have a torque wrench, as you tighten the nut, do it gently and rotate the brake disc as you do it to centralise things. Once the disc it just too tight to rotate back off the nut by about an eighth of a turn and it should be ok. With the wheel back on it should rotate freely without binding and no evidence of freeplay when rocking the wheel when gripped top and bottom as well as side to side.
