    For those watching this, Replacing the axle seal ( non re-usable ) with oem Toyota is highly recommended. Also the most important thing, the service manual calls for thread lock on the lower ball joint bolts, absolutely not anti seize. Everything else was pretty straight forward .

    Great axel R&R demonstration. Made it look fairly easy and straightforward as I thought it would be. The right tools and having help (usually I don’t get that) and all the Tq specs was also super helpful. I need a bigger spec torque wrench I think. My 1/2” craftsman might not go over 150 ft/lbs (need to dbl check that before I need to do this service. But hopefully will not be anytime soon. Great job guys!

    great video. i just did my ECGS clamshell bushing today, and I forgot to look at what the cv axle looked like in the diff beforehand, so I didn't know what it looked like when it was properly seated after putting it back. Video gave a great view, and made me feel better that i'd gotten it back in. thanks
    Also showed me i grabbed the wrong torque spec for the LCA > spindle. I had glanced the LCA > frame and only put 100 lbft on it. 118 going on in the morning.

      Glad it helped! Some other subscribers mention to check the cv axle seal while it’s off, replacement is about $5 also someone said something about spraying the boot with some kind of silicone to help beep the boot plush longer. Might be worth looking into in the future since we’re DIY guys.

    One question, can you please reply with details about the gear oil loss? I’m my kit, I’d like to include a bottle of the correct gear oil to use to refill any loss. Is it difficult to get to the transfer case fill port? How do I know when enough is added?
    Thanks again!

    • @AdventureSquadOverland

      Not positive myself but usually gear oil loss is negligible. U can always measure how much came out and refill this amount as well.

      I lost a decent amount of oil when doing my ECGS bushing and I used a small transfer pump to pump oil into fill hole on diff. It is full when it starts to spill out fill hole.

      I’ve used the old one in a pinch several times no issues. Make sure the snap doesn’t look warped or flattened. Also have a spare for next time or if the axle ever pops out (I highly highly doubt it).

    • @AdventureSquadOverland
      @AdventureSquadOverland  8 месяцев назад +2

      Hard to say, usually if u hear a tapping sound when turning and can sometimes feel it in your steering wheel, that’s usually the CV not performing properly. Take a visual inspection, usually loss in performance is from a torn boot. If it’s only when u engage 4x4 then not likely.

    What’s the risk of running a drop bracket? Diff clearance is a bit better without for sure, but it’s solid if not more solid of a cross member/cam tab than factory. I’ve never had a problem and go on some pretty decent terrain. Look up fire break 5 in the TSF. The difference that people don’t take into consideration is that dropping the diff keeps the axles perfectly level at ride height. zero cv issues. If you want a 4-6” lift drop bracket is a reliable option. Smaller lifts don’t need it whatsoever.

    • @AdventureSquadOverland
      @AdventureSquadOverland  Год назад +1

      We do a lot of snow wheeling. We need the extreme angle boots, should solve the issue. I had a drop kit but when I head to the local forest I was hitting my skid more than usual, usually not a problem except I’m still using my tin can oem skid lol. It can’t take much abuse.

    Stop making disparaging references to dealerships. Dealerships are our lifeline when something should go wrong and then their value should never be diminished. Perhaps if you ever worked at a dealership you’d understand the value they bring and how utterly stupid making those comments is. Now for a tip, use silicone spray on your CV boots every oil change, and that’ll keep them supple and prevent them from drying and cracking, I learned that working at a dealership it’s value added and helps customers.

I am in the business (non automotive). i’m sure it’s hard for you to understand but unscrupulous dealers get a reputation and they’ve earned it. Good dealers just simply do good work and their reputation is earned as well. One just hast to know where to go. The take away here is without a dealer you have no cars, and when there is a recall or something technical that needs to be sorted out, the dealer is often time the best place to go. I see it daily people who go to the forums and RUclips seeking solutions to problems with their motorcycle only to spend hundreds of dollars and not get the real solution. Then when they’re completely stumped they come to us and we fix it for a fraction of the money they’ve already spent. Often times it turns them around.
