Rear Axle Seal & Bearing Replacement (100 Series LC / LX470) (Part 1)

[@richardsauer599]

Because of you I purchased one of Duane’s kits. They are bad ass! Thanks for this video. You and Sean continue to build an impressive Toyota DIY library.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

We agree, Richard. Duane's tools are bad ass! You're very welcome, and thanks for recognizing the extensive library of information we have built thus far. And, we have no plans of stopping any time soon. Happy Wrenching!

Duane is awesome to do business with!!!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@BigBluePile Yep, he's a good dude. I hope I get a chance to meet him in person one day.

Annnnd another phenomenal teaching video! Y’all are the modern day Haynes/chiltons for Yota/Lex vehicles!! All of which aren’t hidden behind a pay wall!! Appreciate all of y’all’s time and hard work filming/editing these videos. Makes a 3hr job a 9hr+ job for example. Thank y’all!! God bless~

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for the kind words. Filming at least doubles the time it takes to complete a job. The editing quite often is more time-consuming than the actual shooting of the video. It's a labor of love, so we don't mind putting in the work. We know our videos help out lots of people, and that's what motivates us to keep doing it. You're very welcome!

Excellent video. My rear axle is leaking, I'm going to have to do this to mine. Thanks for showing how it's done. You're the man.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@adrianw3985 Thanks Adrian. Good luck with the job. Let us know how it goes for you.

I learned a lot about using the axle tool and using the press generally. I'm a newbie to the press world, having just picked one up. I did bushings on all rear control arms last week thanks to you guys. This job looks more involved, I really enjoyed it.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Press work is interesting because you're generally only limited by your own ingenuity to get things done. There's so many ingenious ways I've seen people get press work done. Doing the axles on a 100 Series or LX470 adds a bit of a challenge due to the length of the longer axle. You saw I needed to stack multiple press plates to gain the necessary height so I could pull the parts off and press them back on. A recent modification I did to my press alleviates the need for multiple press plates. Check out the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5_EYadufqmrjbMsi=1WFxcs6p7sPiq4Cz I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Keep turning wrenches and learning.

10/10 video! I love your work, Tim!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks! I'm stoked to know you like what we do.

Very interesting and informative.. another 10

Thanks! We're glad you like it.

make that a 10+

Excellent as ever. Really impressed and I'll be doing a rear axle service on a 4WD Toyota so absorbing the learning from this and your other, related vids. Hopefully I'll also be able to get the same press SST as you have but I'll have to contact the guy and check it fits my JDM. A couple of observations are to say that I think most parking brakes, whether on drums or disks can be readjusted into the use position by operting the handbrake a few times. As it's the handbrake that does the uptake that takes place as the shoes wear on drum brakes, the handbrake operates the brake adjust lever that operates the star adjustor. I think as long as the handbrake can operate the adjust lever then the brakes will self-adjust. Sencondly, when I do my rear axle I will be wanting to do some fettling to the rear brake backing plates. I think I will remove these fairly early, which I think will make the subsequent processes a bit easier. Would you do this if you have to take them off anyway? Lastly I was wondering if you would have to lift up the press etc and it came very close! My diff centre is central, phew!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

The parking brake for vehicles with rear disk brakes is different than the vehicles with rear drum brakes. For the vehicles with rear drum brakes, the brake stays in adjustment by using the parking brake regularly. For the vehicles with rear disk brakes and a drum parking brake, the parking brake does not self adjust. There is nothing that will turn the star adjuster when operating the hand brake. With shorter equal length axles, you won't need extra press plates to build it up.

[@ironwoodoverland]

Yes, I’ve been waiting on this one!! Got my kit from Duane, just need the HF press to go on sale!! Thanks!!!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Glad we could deliver the content you need.

[@michael184272]

20 ton..they get discounted often

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@michael184272 Yes, they go on sale fairly often.

[@timknight4384]

Awesome video. Great detail and excellent explanations. Specialty tool use rather than brute force is great. Well done!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks for the compliment. Sean and I love specialty tools, and we were lucky to discover Duane and help promote his axle tools to the Toyota/Lexus Auto Mechanic Community. Duane even sells his tools to dealerships, which tells me Toyota doesn't make anything like Duane has developed. Most shops cut parts off and risk damaging the axle. I love the clean and professional way we are able to perform these jobs because of the tool designs Duane has developed.

[@jackwalsh1468]

Tim, another outstanding video. Cheers, Mate.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks Jack!

I really love these videos. I am going to buy the guys tool even though I will probably never do a Toyota truck seal . 👊🏻🇺🇸 America

Great video Timmy!! Thank you 😊

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks and you're welcome.

[@Dougcruiser100]

Hey Tim, if my rear wheel is wobbling on my 100 series, does that indicate wheel bearing is bad or axle shaft is bent?

[@lsx434]

thanks 10/10 video 👍

[@austinc5103]

how long is this job going to be?

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Are you asking how many parts the video will be?

[@austinc5103]

@@TimmyTheToolman the billable hours, sir. My gx460 will be needing a rear wheel bearing job. So I was curious.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@austinc5103 I don't know what the billable hours are for this job. It's involved, so my best guess is around 5-6 hours.

[@austinc5103]

@TimmyTheToolman thank you sir! I enjoy your technicalities!
