Toyota Master Tech here. The u joint does not have to maintain the same alignment with the pinion flange. It’s only when you’re disassembling a driveshaft that you have to make sure everything is indexed properly. The driveshaft is not balanced while attached to the pinion flange so that is why it doesn’t matter. If you noticed in your video, you do not necessarily reinstall the pinion flange on the same pinion splines so it makes no difference.

It’s actually not as important to count the turns on the nut as it may seem. The crush washers are pretty stiff, if you just run it back down and don’t hammer on it too much with an impact, you’ll be fine. But I’d put a mark on the nut and the pinion shaft so you have a good idea of where the nut was. Toyotas diffs aren’t very sensitive, thankfully.

Good work dude , I had a dripping oil from my differential, not much really, one drop a day , on a clean surface, that's too much. I have 84 Toyota Cressida,its differential is as your pickup, it uses the same oil seal number. I was encouraged by your video , to do the job, I did it exactly as you did. The shiny nut , took little torque to loose , I didn't bother counting the turns, just remember the place, no way to be missed, I had a very hard time removing the old seal, I freezed the new seal for easy fit,I retightened the shiny 24 mm nut , again not the torque you stated , but with the torque it needed to put it , where it was before, removing the pinion was very easy , no tool was needed . And something, that you didn't mention , which is to empty the oil from the diff. Before you start, I created a mess by that . And pour a new gear oil in it , around 1.4 L ,to keep diff. And seals in good shape . Thanks again for posting this video.

Good call on draining the fluid. I didn't need to because my truck is lifted, so the pinion angle is up for the driveshaft to meet the transfer case. But on a car you will definitely want to drain the fluid to avoid a mess.

Because you cannot see the condition of the shaft where the (oil seal lip rides on the shaft), it could be grooved and may cause the new seal to leak sooner than later. It's best to drive the new oil seal in flush with the housing. It will allow the new seal lip to ride on a different location on the shaft.

It took several tries to get it seated right as one side would go in more, causing the other side to pop up. So I also used a small wooden block and 8oz tack hammer to lightly tap around the perimeter then smack with the centered PVC cap. It worked well and I finally got it in.

In hawaii we make it wide there's multiple purposes for going wide stability is 1 and 2 we are surrounded by ocean which equals sand and we noticed wider wheels make better contact for riding on the sand now narrow wheels is good for mud it cuts through better than wide wheels we also noticed narrow wheels work good in the mountains. At the end of the day it all boils down to what you'll be using your rig for some people put wide wheels just for that aggressive look which to me is ok but very useless especially when using it on a 2 wheel drive I think lifting a 2 wheel drive in general is useless again it boils down to preference have a good day man.

10:35 Good trick with Toyota's is jack up the right side and get some more oil in there. They're not like independent axles or gearboxes that requires a specific amount of oil, the more oil the merrier. Also if your Toyota has a Limited Slip diff, don't use the cheapo 90W LS oil, splurge on the Castrol 75W140 BMW Limited Slip oil, it has better properties to retain friction between the clutch plates to grab onto one another, and does a better job of washing off worn friction material.

You verify that the rotation torque is in spec. After you reach 90lbs. Should be around 10-12 inch pounds. You will need to jack the rear off the ground. That verifies the preload has not changed.

Rule of thumb for EVERY one removing any driveshafts. Always make sure the wheels are blocked (chocked) first, make sure the truck is in neutral with the brake on . And check driveline for play before removing it. If there it’s stiff and you remove it, you risk your life as it can swing at you .

Great video. If you torque it to a specific ft lbs, the prior step of counting the turns is pointless, no? It's going to stop at 90 ft lbs regardless and wind up in the same position. Also, did you make the shaft and the yoke even though you didn't separate them? I may have missed it but seems like the only thing you'd need to mark, if anything at all, is the yoke and the diff flange mating surface.

Anyone doing these needs to be ready for the axle to blow. Not saying it will, but be prepared. I did this on my Dana 44 not knowing better and eventually my gears blew, was able to get it home somehow. Then I had to study how to rebuild my diff. Took a long time and a lot of reading to do it right. Cost more to rebuild than to get a used axle too.

I had this problem and didn't know any better at the time. I torqued it down to spec and I can't remember if I had to notch the nut in place. Remember counting the turns and marking it however. Turns really don't matter too much in this scenario bc it will begin to tighten at the right spot.

3:28 my flange comes off with just a few wiggles back and forth that shouldn’t be normal and also the washer that goes on the companion flange is that important? Mine didn’t have it and it’s leaking worse that it did before i changed it literally all the diff fluid came out

I say if Toyota engineers put the washer there, it must be for a good reason.

Dam great video I got an 86 and I've got massive vibration some guys I bought it from may have installed gearing and didn't torque the pinion flange bolt correctly the flange moves alot so I dropped the driveshaft and noticed the bolt can turn with your finger and they locked it in like that smfh I put everything back but tomorrow ill just torque it down to 90ft lbs and see if the vibration goes away.
@wahiawabound808
@wahiawabound808 Жыл бұрын
Yes so I torqued it down and yes the vibration stopped then starting to come back not as bad so I think it loosened up again so sometime this week I'll tend to it again. I'm guessing they tried to install the gears themselves and didn't know what they were doing with the install I don't even think they preloaded anything lmao.

😢 I don't know where else to go. NO mechanic could figure out my problem. I know this the only place that has the answer. I have 98 4runner with 140k, which I gave my son to use. Recently, the car shutter around 50 mph, it feels like it's searching for gear (going up and down shifting) but I know it's not a transmission issue. Only a few think that I can detect, the tranfercase has a front drive shaft seal leak, probably half of the fuild is gone. And the other was a recent front brake pad change. Clicking sound is heard on driverside drive axle spinning it, car shakes around 60-70 after brake change. PLEASE can someone give me some pointer on where to look. Thx u.
