you don't use a punch on a ball joint....use the correct tool.

pickle fork + hammer it takes 5 seconds
well i got it off today. now i have to get a new wheel hub, is it a good idea to buy it from a junk yard?
depends if you're willing to use a part that is more prone to early failure for the sake of spending less.
if i were you i'd go with getting a part from the junkyard and spend less biggrin.gif. the 5th gens might work too since the wheelbearings are the same, but i'm not sure if the hubs are also the same.

do it right....new from toyota
how exactly do i get the wheel hub out?
has to go to a machine shop and be pressed out and the new bearings pressed in
lets sum it up.

one bearing and two seals per wheel (inner and outer seal though)
use a press for the bearing
ball joints, use a pickle fork and a hammer
buy new not out of a junk yard
