Just wanted to say that I’m restoring a 2006 Toyota 4Runner and I’ve used many of your videos. They are absolutely incredible and have helped me immensely!!
Folks if you're going to do all this- replace the differential oil seals while you've got the axles out. They don't cost much and it will save you the trouble of repeating the job.
There are gear oil seals in the differential that the CV shaft slides into that keep the oil contained. On a vehicle of this age and mileage you would usually just replace them if you're pulling the shafts out. I have no idea why they skipped that step as I see little point in doing all this work only to repeat it when an old or damaged seal starts leaking in a few months or a year. They don't cost much and it doesn't take more than a few minutes.
That's not too bad honestly. In salt states in the US northeast this is pretty good shape for a vehicle of this age. I've seen control arms tear off of subframes and chassis break in two because there's no metal left. This is fine.
Brother I was Messi g around and my abs light and trac light stayed on how do I fix it, I do t think I damaged them maybe strained the lines ? Any suggestions I’d really appreciate them thanks in advance
Need to do inner boot on my 2005 so great timing on video. You mention you can use other devices to tighten the clamps…if you don’t have that crimp tighter tool, what could you use to make sure it is one, tight enough and two, crimped to hold? Thx for the video👍🏼
Both my TRQ axle boots are leaking after less than a year. The rubber is quite tight and doesn’t allow the right flexibility relative to OEM or higher end boots.
To pull the axle - Hang the axle more or less horizontally by tightening a rope around the outer end of the axle and securing it to the spring. Wrap another rope around the inner axle case (between the inner axle case and the gearbox), creating a simple self-tightening loop. Extend the other end of the rope outward along the axle and attach a regular hammer to it. Make a couple of hits in the outward direction along the axle. The hammer's momentum applied along the rope (along the axle) will pull the axle from the gearbox easily. I just tried it, and it works well. It's better to use a non-scratching rope, such as Dyneema.

VERY GREAT VIDEO EXPLAINING EVERYTHING IN DETAIL . I WANTED THE SERVICEMAN TO BE AS TRANSPARENT AS YOU RE IN THIS VIDEO , BEST OF LUCK
Thanks it helped me in 2006 4runner. It shows which clamps go where out the Toyota parts kit.
Great video. Now I can replace mine on my 2008 V8. Thanks for putting this together!
You will definitely have to know how to change boots if you use TRQ axles.
I've never been able to stifle the intrusive thought that CV grease looks so tasty. I've always succeeded in stopping myself from eating it though.
Do you need to worry about making matching marks for the axle housing and head?
Yes. Make sure the tri-lobe goes back into the housing with each lobe in the same spot/location it was originally set in from the factory.
@@troyhodulik5542 Doesn't seem like it would really matter, but I'll do that.
Gonna use this same process to put new cv joints in
Awesome mate. Best footage, well explained. Thx alot.
Awesome video, thanks for creating and sharing it!
Would that be the same labor hours/fees vs just changing the whole CV axle?

Wouldn't you want to out something like a lug nut on the threads before applying torque to the threads with a crowbar?
Thank you very much
Thanks very much for the video! Will be doing this soon!
So, the drive axle simply fits back into the diff and it's tight enough to keep the fluid in?

Wow, where are you located? I've never seen so much rust & corrosion on a 4Runner. Great video though. :-)

TRQ, you are the best
so um... what happens if you get the grease backwards? I may have put them on the wrong ends.

Just buy a cheapie at Harbor Freight and make your life easy. They're nothing exotic.
Thx so much i will be doing this!

both of my axles are leaking from the large crimp clips...
75w 90 I thought That’s what Toyota sold me
i can't stand to see so much rust on the vehicle undercarriage.
for $10 more on rock auto, i’d personally just buy a whole new CV join and not have to go through the time and hassle of this job.
