Replace 05 Toyota Tundra Rear Axle Shaft, Wheel Bearing, and Seals Without Shop Press

[@orman2222]

I was planning on changing the rear bearings on my old man's Toyota truck. After watching your video, I think I'll just take it to the shop. Too much time and work to change it. Thanks for the video!

[@dinocencio53]

Good job my friend just a simple suggestion, I always count the number of splines on both axles before I install all the press on parts, because you never know...😵

[@jamesdarr6714]

you should never hit the inner race of a bearing like that- you will be surprised how easy putting the bearings in the freezer for a few hours and heating the housing with a simple propane torch or heat gun will make this job.

[@czgunner]

At least wear a face shield.

[@eriklarson9137]

@@czgunner That will save the bearing for sure.

[@dave-yj9mc]

Heating the shaft makes it expand and freezing the bearing makes in contract. You you got it backwards. The bearing gets pressed onto the shaft not into the housing.

[@shakes7333]

Heat bearing freeze Axle :)

The best video I've seen so far. I have lots of wood drivers also and no press. Excellent!

[@aDIYCarGuy]

Thanks!...and to think, I almost didn't make this video!

[@JuanBMedina]

love the simplicity and humbleness

[@Luketheterrible]

Yeah! Now I’m sure it’s worth paying my mechanic to do it! Thank you!

[@artramirez3506]

Excellent video. Just some advice, always always make sure you are able to loosen the fill plug on the differential before opening up the drain plug. If the fill plug is rusted too bad you will end up making more work for yourself after draining the differential if you don't check the fill plug first.

[@frankdaniels4364]

Keep in mind that the inner keeper and sensor ring have to be set at a certain height so the sensor ring lines up with the sensor and the inner lock ring needs to line up with the seal. You can't just press them both all the way in. So the measurement is 4.811 inches/122.2mm from the flange outer surface(where the drum sits) to the inner lock ring inner surface. The sensor ring(reluctor)is supposed to go up against the inner lock ring. You end up with a gap between the snap ring and the sensor ring.

[@danny2032]

Or else what happens?

[@ruralrepublican7242]

@@danny2032 The speed sensor won't read and if the inner lock ring is not in the right spot the inner axle seal will leak grease.

[@horaciomartinez2915]

@@danny2032 The retainer won't make contact with the inner seal, and it will leak Diff lube onto brakes.

You are VERY lucky the bearing came out with a few taps. Mine had to be torched out after trying 2 different 20 Ton presses. Good job on not scoring the axle while cutting off that collar.

well yea it's like how do you think they made it in the first place, they bent it, you can too; that's not obvious to everyone believe it or not

I feel for ya brother. I have to wofk on gravel to. Cardboard boxes are a must

I like washer or dryer boxes to lay on almost as good as a creeper.

[@tyleredwards6884]

Made my life easier today!! Thank youuuu

[@MrBrobilly]

you dont need to drain the oil if you jack the replacement axle side a couple inches higher, good vid

[@BackInBlackReviews96]

You don't but doesn't hurt to do a diff oil change while you're at it to prolong life

[@mikemechanic9783]

I’m amazed! However, found a decent used axle and scaved the parts from it, I got lucky

[@topangachronic9463]

Nice video, I'm pretty sure you don't have to drain rear differential to do this. Pulled my axles with the fluid at the proper level and nothing drained out. Look at the filler hole in relation to the bottom of your axle tube.

[@panchoflores6590]

Very good job fellow very informative I got a question I had a mechanic replace my steering knuckle bearings but when I go on the street around 40 to 50mph a hear like a bearing sound still did you hear that noise is that why you replaced it?

[@carfanfan]

Happy 2018! Hope the year treats you well and looking forward to many more videos from you ;-)

Muchas gracias amigo ... hice todo gracias a tus pasos ... dios te bendiga 🙏

[@brandonhowes5364]

Pro strat: instead of using a block of wood use and oil filter, it’s cheap and it is about the perfect size for this job

[@adamskidmore9969]

If you did not drain gear oil from differential would it have drained down axle housing once you pulled the axle?

[@aDIYCarGuy]

yea some of it would have drained out with some still remaining in the diff

[@MrBrobilly]

not if you kept the repair side a couple inches higher

[@jonp6347]

I just purchased this bearings. Is yours still holding up.

[@car5car5]

Nice video! Can you fly to Florida tomorrow to help me with Sequoia? :)

[@jacobwhitfield2354]

My dad and I just spent half our Saturday getting the axle out of my Sequoia. I'm doing the entire rear hub assembly, but keeping my axle and hopefully seals too. Hope the job on your Sequoia went well.

[@smitchell2339]

dude awesome video

[@eliumartinez9275]

Did you had to drain the gear oil to remove the axle 🤔

[@ronkey4796]

Super good job!!!!!!

[@hp11208]

Good video, i have a HFT press.

[@The122355p]

Do you have any video about how to replace rear backing plate on 2005 toyota tundra , please.

[@johnkoutsantonis6943]

Looks like your gonna have to pull the axle.

[@noahfornuto6644]

Hey was your problem that you had a bent axel shaft? Also how did you know that the parts you got off amazon were going to fit your truck?

[@aDIYCarGuy]

yea it was bent, I referenced the part numbers and I think I read on a forum that you could swap the abs parts

[@MetalVentor]

[@arashranjbaran8897]

Did you have to bleed the brakes after disconnecting the brake lines?

[@aDIYCarGuy]

I don't remember but I imagine I did.

[@chief1972]

[@omarvalle9024]

How much did you played for the axle shaft

[@joeogrodnik3406]

What Brand generic axle shaft? . I have a 2002 tundra extra cab with abs. V8. Hit a curb and need to change the rear shaft the Dorman website says there’s does not fit but other sites says it does and you just need to add the abs ring Any thoughts ? I think 2000 - 2006 are the same

[@aDIYCarGuy]

It was this Dorman axle: amzn.to/2tPwMJi (affilliate)

[@cphaza]

Didn't see you put the retaining ring on both sides of the abs rotor sprocket?

[@aDIYCarGuy]

There's not a slot for a retaining ring, it's pressed on, there are no forces on the abs ring that would create a need for a retaining ring.

[@yannai0h]

But doesn't the oil seal ride on the inner retainer ring?

[@waldiraguilera2777]

I have Toyota sequoia 2005 ,and make a noise when I drive 65 mph t hru 75 is gone you think that could be the problem the axle

[@aDIYCarGuy]

maybe. could be the tires...

Why?

no way, if you hit the outside of the bearing all the force is transferring through the balls and will damage the balls and outer ring
