That's awesome! Thank you for great compliment. That's the reasons for my channel and I love hearing it helps. You are absolutely welcome. I appreciate you watching and sharing your experience.

Glad it worked out for you! I'm about to attempt mine this weekend & idk that it's ever been replaced... new to me 2006 tundra now with 201k on the dash. Were you able to get your old bearing off the shaft easily? I'm worried mines gonna be stuck af. I know this guy's came right off bc he said he'd replaced his twice already.

[@vanillaface96]

You sir are a true hero. Took me about an hour cus I had to take a torch to some rusty bolts but this saved so much time compared to dropping the whole driveshaft. For anyone wondering, process is the exact same on 01 tacoma 4x4. Thank you for sharing this video!

Because of this video and the one from a while back I felt comfortable doing this myself. Unfortunately mine wasn't a straightforward 15 minute job. My old carrier bearing was STUCK on and I couldn't get it off while under the truck. But it's done and I feel good that I was still able to do it myself thanks to your videos.

[@funjunkiegarage]

[@drewatkinson360]

Of course it is that easy! Every other persons' video on this repair scared me away from attempting this myself, which lead to waiting to long to take it a shop and lead to me needing an entire new driveshaft along with the bearing. I've got this video saved for the next time! Thanks!

[@funjunkiegarage]

Oh no. I hate hearing that. First time I did it I pulled entire driveshaft, but it still all came apart as easy. I've now done it this way 4 times. Thanks for saving my video. And thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it.

@@funjunkiegarage now how do you install an E locker on a 1st gen Tundra?

[@funjunkiegarage]

Front or rear? In this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpnUaIKdmZZsidU I install an Eaton TruTrac in the rear of my 2000 Tundra. The e-locker you just have to drill a hole for the wires. I wish I would have done the e-locker when I bought the TruTrac, but it is twice the price. If you want to put a Tacoma factory elocker in there is a kit. You cut away your diff housing to allow for the actuator, weld in the plate that has the holes already drilled and tapped and done. Let me know if we're talking about the same stuff.

The 24mm nut needs to be torqued to 134 ft.lb. to seat it, then backed off and re-torqued to 51 ft.lb. This ensures it's seated properly and is probably why some people say these are pressed on.

Hi there, I did buy the Toyota version and swapped it out not knowing how long these are suppose to last. You got 50k out of yours good to know. It was a pretty easy swap so I would think about the RockAuto next time. It might be awhile since I work from home now and don't drive it much except for pleasure. Love these videos, you're an excellent teacher. Thanks.

Hello. Yes, I like to try the inexpensive parts and see how it goes. Not bad at all with this one. I work at home as well, but my work involves using my truck often.

Thanks for your expertise and clear demonstration. It's given me confidence to attempt it on my 2010 Tundra 4x4. Could you tell me if it's the same as on your truck? Thanks

[@funjunkiegarage]

Thank you for the great compliments. I'm afraid it's different on the newer trucks. You have to remove a u joint to get to the nut and pull the yoke out of the front part of the shaft to get the bearing off/on. I'm sure you can do the job just fine. I don't have a video on the process for your truck but there are some good ones out there. Please let me know how it turns out.

Thanks for the awesome video. I just completed it. When I got it all back together I noticed two shims on the ground. They looked clean, so I assume they’re from the new bearing. Somehow I didn’t even see them- How critical are they?

[@funjunkiegarage]

My existing bearing had 1 shim and I reinstalled it in the same place it came out from. Of the 4 I've done, this is the first shim I've found. My new bearing didn't come with any. I'm no professional, but I can't see it being a big deal. They are very thin, I wouldn't worry about them personally. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.

[@Kings.Handyman23]

[@cb122333]

Hi. Thank you for this great video! Doing some research on doing the same service on my 01 Tacoma. It looks like the process should be very similar or the same. Do you have any idea if I can use this method on the Tacoma? I would like to not have to drop the whole side shaft.!

[@funjunkiegarage]

You're welcome. This is the same procedure for your Tacoma. Should be simple job. Let me know how it goes please. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. I really appreciate it.

[@bluegrapevr6]

Really appreciate your videos. Could you answer a question for me? When greasing all driveline zirks. I pump until it comes out the seals. Some have said im blowing them ? I usually pump up and release w little back out. My manual does not really specify. Probably over complicating. Love the channel.

[@funjunkiegarage]

Awesome, thank you. When greasing U Joints I always add until it starts to come out the seals. U Joint seals are soft rubber without internal springs, so they can deform and let excess grease escape. So no, you are not hurting anything. Happy to hear you enjoy my channel. Thanks for the question. I really appreciate you watching and supporting my channel. Have a great day

[@TheReapersSon]

You should get a Spicer bearing for $60 more and it will last longer. Spicer is the OEM supplier for Toyota.

Nice. Just what I needed to see. Mine is sloppy. I will be replacing this week. I decided to spend the $200 and get the Toyota OEM part though. What does a bad center support do to the truck drive? 3 thumbs up...

[@funjunkiegarage]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed the video. Getting the OEM is a good move. If your bearing goes bad it can cause clunking and vibration as well as noise if it's really bad. Please let me know how the job goes for you. I appreciate your support of my channel.

[@TheReapersSon]

@@funjunkiegarage thank you for demonstrating how easy it is, and not having to remove your entire shaft if it's just your carrier and not your splines or u-joints going bad. Generally the carrier replacement will solve the bumping at stop and go, and the vibration. I was getting a 30mph vibration through the steering wheel and so I wiggled my driveshaft and saw some play. Ironically after jiggling the unit my vibration at 30mph went away. So I know it's the carrier. I'll be replacing mine soon and will use this technique. One thing to remember for future videos is putting torque specs on the screen so people can know how to fasten everything safely and correctly.

[@funjunkiegarage]

Right on. I do appreciate the suggestion to add torque specs. I consider this often, but I have to add a disclaimer to every video if I get into specifics

[@WastedDragon]

Thank you for sharing this, I had some reserve thinking mine was gonna be stuck but that was not the case. One thing I saw in another persons KZbin short kzbin.infov0pA_Z7yhPk, they were saying there are similar center carriers with or without dust shields in addition to the driveshaft dust seals. And that the centers with their own dust shields cause premature wear. I noticed yours had dust shields on the bearing and the driveshaft, maybe that's why yours are going out faster than you'd like? I feel like they should last longer than 2 years in normal circumstances, idk what yours is obviously, but I figured since you helped me, there's my two cents. Hope it helps you. Ps, i got a Spicer one (Spicer 211750-1X), and it said Toyota on it and it didnt have a dust shield on the bearing itself.

[@funjunkiegarage]

Glad yours wasn't stuck. I always appreciate the sharing of experiences and knowledge. I'll definitely check it out. Many people have suggested the Spicer unit and I'll certainly be giving it a try. Happy you enjoyed the video. I appreciate you watching and sharing your information.

[@funjunkiegarage]

[@davidward8578]

Great video! Question, how long will the OEM last vs the one from Rock Auto?

[@funjunkiegarage]

Thank you. I'd just be guessing, since I've never spent the money on an OEM part. However both of my Tundras, (the 04 I used to have) and the 2000 I currently have, both had about 150,000 miles on what appeared to be the factory bearing . My Toyota dealer wanted approximately $300.00 for an OEM. That's around 6 times as much cost, for 3 times longer life. That's just an estimation from my own experience. I love to go OEM whenever I can but sometimes I just cannot justify the cost. Hope this helps. Thanks for the question. I appreciate you watching and commenting.

Center bearing from Rock Auto that is supposed to fit my truck does not. It has mounting arms at a weird angle and looks larger than the one on my 94 Pickup. Not sure what truck uses the part they sent. Luckily it was a close-out part so didn't cost much. They are refunding half my expenses and I can keep the part, although I don't know what I will do with it. Would cost too much to ship back and they won't cover that.

@@funjunkiegarage I've owned my 01 limited for 13 years now and have never replaced this carrier bearing so I am guessing it is original. It is torn so I plan on (trying) to replace it myself. You make it look so easy. What is the point of staking it?

[@funjunkiegarage]

The point of me shaking it is to show excessive movement in the shaft. The point of the carrier bearing is to keep the driveshaft centered and solid (to a point) in the middle. When they wear out, the drive shaft can move up & down with acceleration & deceleration as well as shake & shimmy around at steady speeds. Usually if it's real bad the shaft just rests at the bottom of the bearing housing when parked. If your old one is original, it will say Aisin on the housing and have a timken bearing inside. It is as easy as it looks in the video. I'd spend the $$ on the Spicer brand unit. Other viewers have said it's way better. Honestly this Anchor brand unit I installed in this video is already failing. Lastly, don't go mega buck on the solid kind with the solid polyurethane center. The vibration transfer is crazy unless your driveline is flawlessly perfect. Really hope this helps. Would love to hear how the project goes. Cheers
