[@stormwickham1675]

Dude! God bless you man. You helped me alot. You saved me from a 1600$ repair bill. Now I just need a wheel alignment for 150$ and it didn't cost over 500$ thanks to Rock Auto! Thank you so very much man. Edit: subbed to you're channel!

[@bobosdreams]

This is beyond my skill, but I commend you for making this video. You went thru the key points clearly and thoroughly. Really well done!

[@user-yd8xk2qp8d]

I appreciated the extra tips like making sure to mention wrench sizes. I'm going to make sure I have the ratchet ring spanner and other helpful tools. Sometimes having the wrong tool brings you to a screeching halt.

[@gqautodiagnostics]

Glad it was helpful!

Hola amigo saludes de Nicaragua me gusto mucho este video de el cambio de pinion de la toyota rav4 . Pues tengo una igual a la que tu sacaste en el video automatica asta el color es año 98 y tengo ese problema tengo que cambiarle pinion pero la parte que no vi muy bien es cuando tu le desconectas las lineas de aceite pues la mia filtra el aceite no se siquitarlas mangueras completamente desde la bomba o si me filtran del pinion Espero tu concejo amigo soy Richard ...

[@gqautodiagnostics]

Hola Saludos desde Arizona ✌remove las lines que llegan al pinion de tu carro. Esa es lamanera mas facil de remover la parte. Suerte.

Would this be the same process for a 2011 Rav4?

[@gqautodiagnostics]

It should be similar.

[@leocapote2426]

Bro how can i order the Rock in penion assembly of Toyota RAV4 , the same your vedeo tutorial. Im here in the Philippines, in Davao city area, can i ask the Link of the store! Thanks

[@Emoney700xx]

You can always try eBay

[@bluegizmo1983]

This Rav4 is not a 4wd model is it? Is this job more difficult on the 4wd model?

[@gqautodiagnostics]

Hello, the one in the video is 2wd. Usually it can be a little more work in a 4wd. Just be patient and take your time. Thank you for posting your comment. Have a great day and God bless you 🙏

[@atnamesarelame]

Why not just replace the bad seal instead of replacing the rack and pinion?

[@gqautodiagnostics]

You can definitely replace the bad seal. However, you can run the risk that the other seals in the Rack and Pinion start leaking, that would not make the costumer happy.

[@atnamesarelame]

@@gqautodiagnostics ok understood. Wouldn't it be a better idea to replace all the seals then? I hear the aftermarket and rebuilt racks aren't so good

[@gqautodiagnostics]

@@atnamesarelame Yes, you can definitely change all the seals, but some of the rack and pinion may need special tool to take them apart and if rebuilding them is not your full-time job it doesn't make sense to have to buy a tool that you may use only once. Also keep in mind that customers want to get the car back as soon as possible so replacing the whole part is faster and can come with a lifetime warranty. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[@atnamesarelame]

@@gqautodiagnostics yes I understand from the stand point of doing the job for the customer but mechanic is not my profession. I'm just asking as a DIY'er who cares about the longevity of their car
