HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Sit down and grab your favorite beverage as this is a long one. Today I show how to replace your rear axle seals and bearings on a 3rd Gen Toyota 4Runner. This particular procedure is also relevant to several other Toyota models, such as the 1st Gen Tacoma, T100, and I believe the Tundras as well. The parts may differ a bit, so be sure to check with your favorite Toyota parts dealer to ensure you've got the right parts. In addition to replacing the seals and bearing on the rear axle, I also show how to replace the bearing case as well. I hope you enjoy watching!

Sir, you are a hero. The video is packed with experience and the part list in the description is the icing. Thanks for your effort, I'm off to wrench.
Heck yeah! Thanks for watching 👍
I watched many different versions of this repair, and this was the most intelligent solution without destroying parts. Press jig was inexpensive and crucial. You helped me greatly. Much appreciated!
Thank you for watching 🍺👍
this is truly awesome stuff... my '98 is needing this I believe, and a mechanic in my area wanted over $1200 to do it, and he said something like "once we open it up we don't even know what we'll find," so I said something like "no thanks... I don't want to be held captive" and walked out. I'll do it myself, and this is an excellent guide.
It's definitely something any weekend wrench turner can do on their own 👍🍺
Great video, thanks for your efforts on going into depth and the part numbers! Much appreciated!!
You bet! Thanks for checking out the video! Cheers
Very impressive, detailed video. Seems like you hand washed all parts prior to the video, lol. That's why a 2 hr job would take me 8.....i prefer to clean....start clean then finish clean. The video views/angles and explanations sure relieve the worries of a novice like myself.
Thank you! This isn't that bad of a job now that I've done it s half dozen times 🤟 Thanks for watching!
Great video! It is totally clear and consice. Unlike some of the 'demolition derby' style practices seen in other videos. Well done! I will be doing this soon on a 1993 Surf (JDM 4 Runner) in Australia. Just hope I can get that special tool shipped from US...
Thanks again.
Glad this helped! Cheers and thanks for watching👍🍺
Awesome, awesome video! I appreciate you taking the time to make a video with such high quality, depth, and easy explanation.
Thanks man! Hoping this helps somebody out there. Thanks for checking out the video!!
Hey Man, really good video (I subscribed). Super fast forwarded segments for the simplistic parts and slow and easy for the detailed instructions. Editing your electric impact gun audio, (removing the lugs) to the beat of the music was next level.
I did this repair this past weekend. Using Duane's excellent tool and your video made for some easy wrenching.
I have never seen the Factory Service Manual. You commented it instructs the tech to 'cut off' the retainers........wow that's just crazy. And cutting it off all but guarantees a path for the gear oil to find a way past your newly installed retainer.
The only part of the video that was hard to watch was when you went after the snap ring using screw drivers......ouch. I used a set of pliers; 'Stanley Proto J250G Proto 9-Inch Lock Ring Horseshoe Pliers' and the snap ring popped right off.
Keep up the good work. I'll be watching.
Thanks for watching 🍺👍 Glad this helped!
Great in-depth video. I learned more than the other grease monkeys hammering to break stuff.
Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching👍🍺
Very thorough and informative! Thanks for the upload!
Thanks for checking it out 🍺
Keep up the great videos this one is very helpful for people looking to do the rear bearing and seals on their 3rd gen 4Runners I actually made my own tool to pull the abs ring gear and retainers as well as the bearing and backing plate it works amazing made it out of and old axle
Thanks for checking out the video 👍 Was literally doing this again today as I'm working on a rear disc brake conversion. Somehow though, I ended up bending the plate that attaches the the bearing housing 😕
@@WeekendWrenchTurner oh man that’s no fun wait they have a disc conversion kit for these 3rd gen 4Runners no way!!! I’ve looked and looked for one and have never found one
There is one made from a user on T4R.org named "midcoma". I was the 5th one to pick one up and working on getting it installed this week 👍
@@WeekendWrenchTurner do you have a link to it? I would definately love to check it out
@@WeekendWrenchTurner I own 2 4Runners a 98 5 speed and an 01 automatic
Great video!!!!
Thanks for watching 👍
@@WeekendWrenchTurner hey I noticed your rear bump stop what brand are those?
Those are from Sonoran Steel's 3.5" rear end lift kit. Great company to do business with 👍
Good stuff
Thank for watching 🍻👍
I was wondering if I can get this job done with a 12 ton press ? Thank you very much video. This is priceless information to me .
You can't unfortunately. There's another video by Timmy the Toolman explaining why you cannot do this with the 12 ton. It is because the press is just not deep enough to fit the axle into and still be able to press anything.
Ok ,I thought that might be the reason why . 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks for watching 👍🍺
couldn't you press bearing and bearing retainer on at same time?
Good question. I suppose you could, but it does add a bit of risk for only a little bit of time savings. Not sure how much, but just made sense to do them one at a time for me. Thanks for watching 👍
It's been about a year. How was has the repair turned out? You get it right this time?
Thank you for asking! I did end up replacing the bearings again, but only because I did a rear disc brake conversion (check out the video). I did not replace the seals when I did that as they were not leaking! So, I'd say the factory seals are the way to go with the "Dr Coffee" method of flipping the inner bearing retainer so the bevel faces outboard. Thanks for checking out the video!
Good job can you help me with the link of the bearing ket and the retainer please
I recommend using partsouq.com for big purchases since the discounted OEM parts with the pricier shipping tends to be the better cost savings. Otherwise, Amazon usually has these. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Hey, I'm trying to find the Part # for the new OEM rear bearing cases you have there. Do you have it handy?
I typically use this site to find parts: japan-parts.eu/us/ This particular part is #42421-35030👍 Thanks for checking out the video 🍺
Just a tip: do not press the axle and retainer together like the video shows. My tool is now completely stuck on the axle now and no way to get it off 😒
I'm not sure I follow. What time code in the video are you describing so we can help future watchers? 🙂
@@WeekendWrenchTurner 25:00 you show putting on the retainer then just cut to the press
@@MikeP41 You use the provided tool to press the retainer onto the axle. Not sure if you're using the same tool and provided in the description, but the tool has plenty of clearance so would not get stuck onto the axle and is too small to fit around the retainer. 👍
@@WeekendWrenchTurner Yeah unfortunately it got stuck on the taper of the retailer, I'm going to try and cut it off or go to the junkyard get get a new axle assembly
Ahh, I see. Was this with the tool from donald-the-bonald on Ebay?
pop one side of the seal out of those used bearings clean with brake clean and repack with grease pop seal back in , good as new , I.d reuse them if they were fairly new , why not
I apologize for singling this comment out, but this is an extremely bad idea. These bearings are cheap and there is an extreme risk of catastrophic failure if the bearing fails. It is cheap insurance to put in new ones especially if you have the tools 👍
