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.

When I was redoing my Tahoe's rear axle pinion seal I put the nut back on with an impact and ever since the rear pinion seal leaks and I can move the driveshaft up and down at the yoke. I didn't know better back then but believe it or not I still have not fixed it. Been running the truck like that for about 12 years now. Man them 14 bolts are tough.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent video but you should have marked the pinion shaft with the flange it's more important than marking the drive shaft to the flange, my workshop manual recommends to mark the flange with the pinion shaft. Also you can fit two bolts and four nuts to the flange then you can get purchase using a prybar locked off to the springs, saves chocking wheels a mate.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anyone know any tricks for getting the flange back on the spline? I cleaned everything carefully and put some anti-sieze on the spline to try to lubricate it, but after fighting it for a couple of hours, I can't get it on there.

The alignment and angle has to be perfect due to the tight tolerances. I'd give it another try.

​@@6thGearGarageCool, thanks so much. I guess I'm just a nervous novice 😂. I have an 8.4 with 30 splines regeared to 4.88. I paid a local expert to install the 4.88 Nitro Gear kit. Talking to someone else much more competent than me, it sounds like this combination in particular requires a little persuasion. I might use some freeze spray to try to get the spline to shrink slightly. No idea if that'll help. The other thing I'm going to try is inspecting the spline carefully and using a triangular file to gently clean it up if something is out of whack.

You may have fixed your pinion seal, but how was your crush sleeve on the pinion? I bet your pinion was loose now that the sleeve has lost its crush. When you replace a seal on a diff, you need to replace the crush sleeve, unless you have a solid spacer on the pinion. Yea, “put the nut back where it was on the pinion” sure. But you can’t recrush a crush sleeve.

It's been a couple of years and it's all good. I showed the alternative to taking everything apart by using proper torque and tightening, because not everyone has the resources to repair it the long way. If you did want to disassemble the 3rd member and replace the crush sleeve, there's a link to those steps in the description.

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.

Houston we have a problem,,I think I am going to have to get a new pinion flange, installed new seal, drive about 30 miles,started leaking again,,there was a little groove but how do you know when the groove is to deep,,ha, it starts leaking again,lol These older trucks are 27 spline , I’m pretty sure,,anywho, oh the agony

Ouch that sucks... If it catches your finger nail it can cause problems. What you can try is slightly overdriving or underdriving the seal to get it in a fresh spot on the flange.
