What year is it? I can take a look. A 2wd 4-runner is pretty odd in our area.

It's a 97, Sorry I didn't include that.

Those are a press-fit bearing assembly, looks like this:

That unit bearing is pressed into the spindle so special tools would be needed to get the job done. On these you wouldn't take them apart to do a repack and only change it if it's bad.
