Most of the bearings are easy to change. to get to that last one you have to tap out the pin on the end of the axle. put a ball race on and put the pin back in. It is a lot easier than it looks

Not sure about old Hilux/Blazer, but on the later Bruiser/Mounty:-

1) Get a small vice.

2) Grab 2 Tamiya flanged 3mm nuts, put them flange to flange.

3) Put 1 side of the axle pin into the nuts' hole, then compress in vice. Push until the pin is flush with side of the axle ball. Open vice.

4) Grab a tiny M2 x 6mm screw, put that 2mm screw's shank againt the flush pin. Vice using the screw to push the rest of the pin out.

5) Replace bearing(s).

6) Replace pin using vice.



NB: thickness of BBs is usually different to the thickness of the bronze bushings that you'll be replacing. You will need to adjust the shimming in the centre where the gear is. Get some 5mm washers to suit, touring car axle shims are handy.
