Rear Bearing and Brakes gone a little Sideways    

 So... We have here, a 2005 Lexus ES330 / Toyota Camry that makes a lot of shaking and noise in the rear end. Diagnosis lead to dragging brakes, after getting heated up and reaching main road speeds. the read end would start to vibrate and literally shake the car. The test drive was concluded, and simply holding my hand near the each wheel, it was easy to tell what was going on... the rear brakes were both really hot! Cause: rust seized caliper pistons. During initial teardown a bad bearing was discovered...  This video is mostly, that bearing replacement.
 This job went from "needs brakes" to "needs new rear everything" and even then, that goes a little sideway.........Part 1

I was fortunate enough to have some video files still on my camera's memory. A couple of weeks ago my laptop crashed, and hard drive failed. Needless to say, a few months worth of work and recordings, records, photos, financial records, etc all remain on the non-accessible drive. I suspect from the fact that it spins up, does absolutely nothing more, then spins down after about 20 seconds tells me, bad controller, or dead heads... I'm researching data recovery businesses now, and found a few that are reasonably priced, but know this is a one-shot deal... https://youtu.be/OSpxPAJ35SM

 I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actron(s) DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics.  I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.
