Rear Axle Final Assembly - 1989 Toyota Restoration Episode 21

Alrighty! This is a bit of along one, but there is a lot of stuff to cover. We start with assembling the axles by pressing the serrated bolts into a couple parts. Then we install a seal, a bearing, a spacer and a snap ring. After that we install the pinion into the diff housing and set the preload. After that we install the diff and set the backlash. And finally we put everything together and complete the rear axle rebuild (minus the brakes)

[@bmshimba09]

so proffessional..good job

[@chriscollins260]

I'm just about to do this job on my '89 4Runner. This video is extremely helpful and well presented.

[@orlandomuniz876]

Thank you for this, this will help me with installing my locker on my 2wd supercharged yota

[@WouterB76]

Just discovered your channel, what a nice project and i like your handy work and creativity. You are very genuine and not afraid to show the mishaps, hopefully you will be making more of these video's for years to come, good luck with the project!

[@triples4good]

Great job. I'm getting my frame in a couple of weeks so hopefully.... great video. The music fits it very well.

[@65oldguy]

I really enjoy watching your videos, this one in particular was really good.The information here is better then any manual I’ve seen. I appreciate your time in creating and sharing all this info. Im hoping to start my 90 Toyota pickup in the spring. With your help I’ll be in pretty good shape. Thanks 🇨🇦

[@jackpotcity9273]

I appreciate you dude

[@Max-kw4px]

Nice!!! Learned something :)

[@84runner]

Where is the prime and paint video? How did I miss it? Link please??? :-). Great job btw!!!!

[@Obscuremotorsports]

I think I did it off camera. I don't record most of the painting to protect the camera. That overspray is nasty stuff.

[@NormanCountryman]

I noticed that you did not check the gear contact pattern between the pinion gear and the ring gear. Is that a common practice with this differential? Yes backlash is important and so is the contact pattern. How about carrier bearing preload? I know on a 9inch Ford rear-end the carrier bearing preload is applied while adjusting the backlash. That is the case with a 9 inch Ford differential which is exactly the same as this one. Sorry about being a PITA on this but I am genuinely curious about the change in procedure on assembling this style of differential.

[@Obscuremotorsports]

I didn't check the contact pattern in the video, but I went back and checked later on off camera. It looked acceptable so I didn't feel like it was anything to make a video about. Both backlash and contact pattern are important, just forgot to do contact in the video. I didn't check carrier preload. I could go back and check it, but as per the last video of the series; I'm not working on the truck anymore.

[@wlrogers53]

You didn’t show installing crush sleeve on pinion

[@charlesortiz5672]

Wow! Now I see that the new dift that I put on my pickup is not like the original one, and I tought it was🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@palaciosivan100]

What torque wrench are you using? Really like your videos

[@Obscuremotorsports]

I have the kobalt brand digital ones. They aren't anything to write home about, but they've been durable and reliable so far. Lowes might still have them. Not sure what has happened with the craftsman change over. I'd recommend them if they fit your budget.

[@najati]

excellent video. (messy garage.)

[@Obscuremotorsports]

Not sure yet. Need to do some research and see how much backlash is supposed to be in spider gears. Depending on what I find and if it's worth the time I might rebuild or I might add a LSD.

[@danilohernandez8047]

What s going on I haven’t yet see the final product? Did you gave up ? On proyect??????

[@Obscuremotorsports]

It's still going. Can't make weekly videos anymore. They come out about once a month.

[@danilohernandez8047]

Ok good you’re master looking forward to see the final results

[@jackpotcity9273]

is there a gasket that goes between head and housing ?

[@Obscuremotorsports]

Yes there is a paper gasket that went between the case and gear housing. It came with the rebuild kit I bought.

[@MrStevoovets]

Great progress so far! Would love to do a frame off restoration on my 89 pickup. I remember you saying that youre from the Louisville area in a previous video. If you are looking for parts in the future/ small stuff that might be hard to find i recommend contacting this man. He has anything you could possible need and is a toyota guru. About 30 mins from louisville in indiana.I was amazed at his collection and seems to get more everytime i go there.louisville.craigslist.org/pts/d/depauw-toyota-4x-runner-and-pickup-parts/7006642714.html

Do new videos 2021 June please or 4th July 2021 like see truck run on road

[@jonascagape520]

Is an axle restoration worth it?

[@Obscuremotorsports]

It really depends on your situation. If everything is in working condition and isn't giving you issues than probably not. But I had no idea what the history of this truck was. The oil wasn't changed regularly. The amount of build up in the cylinders was frightening. The giant hole in my frame was worrisome. Since I was tearing it down to the frame I figured I might as well give everything a going over. One of the drum brake was caked with oily brake dust which meant one of the seals was bad. So I decided it was best to rebuild the entire thing to make sure everything was good.

[@jonascagape520]

@@Obscuremotorsports owww ok, cause i have a land cruiser fj40 that's not been used since i was off roading, now it's just in the house sleeping and also not getting turned on

[@mafzal6295]

[@mafzal6295]

In engine have problem or gear problem pls tell me thanks

[@lonerider5315]

torque specs?

[@Obscuremotorsports]

Depending on the axle you're working on the manufacturer torque specs can vary. You should reference the manual or look up Fastenal's recommended torque values for the appropriate size and type of fastener. Good luck!

[@jameslakes5019]

1989 i had toyota 4x4 extra cab v6 stick with clutch dealership didn't have automatic mine had power windows and door locks traded for car regret rest my life miss darn toyota v6 sr5 power windows sunroof and radio too never let girlfriend trade for car cause she could not drive thing I was taught by dad and uncle how to drive had drive uncle house for darn week learn how drive it
