Kinda long didn't want to happen,
I had saved an online manual for the camry. Some how it was deleted, taken
away , I can't find it any longer. Would have sent a link.
That is where I found that it needed to be replaced. Everytime it was to
be
removed there is a torque for that bolt . It needs be replaced just like
an
o-ring.
The reason I had looked into it was that,
I was getting a vibratation that seemed to be coming from that area. Took
out the bolt sparyed the gease, Tightened somewhat tight , it hadn't
changed
the vibration any. So I loosened it quite abit & the vibration went away ,
not totally but alot. So I had gone to the dealer****p they couldn't even
find it on the parts screen. Went to the parkinglot showed him that it
does
exist , other than a kit of some kind that was to much money , to replace
a
bolt.
I think that the bolt holds the bearing race from spinning within the
carrier & that it needs that torque to do it. To tight = vibration To
loose= spinning of the race.

There was thread remaining under the hex head, so yes .
Thats my theory.
