Need Help with this Please!

Hi,

Got a 2WD 1st Gen Sequoia. Had two broken wheel studs and watched YT to learn how to replace them.
Jacked it up and had it in park with the emergency brake on. The repair required I rotate the wheel to gain access to insert new wheel studs from the back side. I took off the emergency brake and I believe that's when the rear wheel - which was off the ground - began to continually rotate. I shifted into neutral and had to shut all doors and turn off to remove the key while it was in neutral.

I did the did the repair, replaced the rotor, brake caliper bracket, brake pads - which had gotten misaligned - after compressing the piston, brake caliper, wheel, lug nuts...

When I backed up the car and stopped, I could hear something and I opened the door and that rear wheel is just spinning...

I know very little about vehicles generally speaking...anyone know what's going on here?

Thanks very much in advance for all constructive replies!!

 

I'm confused here. At this point, the wheel is on the ground because you've back the car up and stopped, correct? How is the wheel moving when it's on the ground and the vehicle is stopped?

EDIT: Pics and or a video would be very helpful.

 

Very, very confusing description of events. Expand on "that rear wheel is just spinning" comment. If it's on the ground and brakes are applied, what's spinning? The vehicle should be in motion for the wheel to spin. Unless you were in gear, parked on ice, and put the rear brakes back together incorrectly.

 

I have seen cars here in the shop have wheels spin very slow while on the lift and the vehicle is running while in neutral. It's engine vibration that explains my scenario.

 

It had snowed for several days prior and there's less ice/snow on the ground than there was a day or two ago when this happened; I'd just thought I'd done something wrong in how I reassembled everything possibly...

After reading that first comment, I went out to troubleshoot and recreate or understand exactly what was happening and it did not happen this time. When I had the vehicle up, it was just the one rear side that was up because I jacked it up right near there on the side and when I turned on the car that wheel was spinning but not all that slowly. And in some other videos, I'd seen people saying there's a screw related to the emergency brake and when I did the wheel stud replacing, I didn't deal with that aspect at all, and then I thought maybe it was related to me compressing the piston? Really do not know almost anything about cars in all honestly. It could have been on the snow or ice I really don't remember.

Seems to be working normally from what I can tell?

 

I do want to say that I really appreciate the willingness to help someone out, of everyone here who's replied!

Praise Almighty God, Jesus Christ is King of ALL.

 

I’d feel better if we had pics of what everything looks like. I don't think any of us here would call it good when your post ends in a question mark.

 

I'm cornfused too but I think the observed phenomenon is attributed to the inherent clutch drag in an automatic transmission in neutral with engine running.

 

Okay, it's dark now but I can put up some pictures of the rear wheel - is that what you mean? If the spinning doesn't happen again, what all is the everything you'd like to see?

 

I don’t really care so much about the spinning wheel as I do ensuring that all looks well. If we had pics of the hub, caliper, studs and such from all angles, it would help us to see that everything looks okay. Your question mark was concerning. That’s all.

 

I had just the driver's side rear wheel off the cement and if I remember correctly, it was that the wheel wouldn't move, so I took off the E-brake and then it started spinning slowly, and then I turned the car on and shifted into neutral and it was then spinning faster...I had to shut the door in order to shut the door in order to turn off the ignition and it took a few times for me to get time it properly so that the access point lined up so I could put in the wheel stud and then shifted back into park with the car off so that I could remove the key and not have the battery discharging while I tried to figure it all out.

And it was two broken wheel studs so I had to do that twice to get the second one lined up also.

Does that fit the conditions of what you're referring to here?

 

Wheel chocks.....or absence of them?

 

Are we talking about front wheel or back wheel? Do you have manual or automatic? Does your truck have LSD differential? Why are you starting the engine with a wheel of the ground. Please tell me you have jackstands and your vehicle is on level ground? We don’t want you to get injured.

Recommend you up date your profile with details of your vehicle and your location. Also edit your post title to reflect what specifically you are asking since that will help others who are searching.

 

Rear driver side wheel. Automatic. I don't know what LSD differential is or if I have it. 2WD. I started it to shift into neutral because I could not physically rotate the wheel once I had the rotor and brake caliper bracket off to change out two broken off wheel studs. I used the jack that came with the vehicle when purchased.

 

I used chocks initially but the rear driver's side was elevated when the spinning initially happened and then it happened again when the vehicle had all four tires on concrete without chocks.

 

Limited Slip Differential is LSD. Yes, please be careful, the Toyota bottle jacks are for emergency tire changes only.
My first gen Sequoia and pick up do not have disc on the rear, was that available?
With the FRONT wheels chocked and in neutral, with rear wheels both up, you could align whatever by hand no?
Tires must have been on ice to spin? My head hurts now
