I want to share my experience in case it helps anyone.
I have a Toshiba 52hm85 and my color wheel started to go. It started off by the faces having a glow on my tv. Then it got worse and worse and flickering occured and the colors really went bad. I called around to toshiba and repair shops and they all said it`s very likely to be the color wheel. Cost to just see problem was $140 and to order the color wheel another $150 and repair another $300 to $400.
There is no info out there on how to replace a toshiba color wheel. Youtube has some videos on Samsung models. After getting a general understanding of what I was looking for, I took apart my tv.
Once I took out the lamp, I could see the color wheel. You now know what you have to access. I removed the screws to allow most of the right panel to slip out. There are wires connected to the other panel on the left side (I was very careful as there are capacitors on the left panel side). I never removed any wires, rather I just slipped them both out about half way and let the one on the right hang onto a stool.
I then removed the screws of the fan and lamp casings and then the metal casings where the color wheel is hidden.
If your color wheel is making a grinding noise, it`s likely just rubbing against the side. You need to adjust your screws to prevent this rubbing.
If the colors are going, the color wheel likely needs a cleaning. I used a glass cleaner cloth and wet it and cleaned each color carefully and seperately. I also used a wet cloth and washed the metal that has the bearings inside. Anyway, that fixed the problems and saved me tons of money.
