Lockrite Install

I ordered a lockrite locker for my tacoma and would like to start looking at what the install involves before i get started. Has anyone done it? Tips? Tricks? A How-To or anything?

 

did you bother to google it? it's been done a million times. 4x4wire has a decent write up..

 

Yes I googled it, I searched here and ttora. It has been done many times. I just can't find any 05+ write ups.

 

05+ have the same rear end as the older tacomas, so any of those writeups will be what you need.

when i did mine the instructions that came with were pretty clear.

only tip i have is if you have to remove the ring gear, make sure to mark it so it goes back on in the exact same place. and heat it up in the oven to re-install.

 

Oh ok. I didn't know it was that simple.

 

Its very easy, like somebody else said mark everything.... before disassembling. The only fishy part in instructions is the direction of the spacer. Also make sure when you putting back to locktite every bolt.

 

That was one of the things i didnt understand, that and putting it back together and setting the backlash?

 

When I get home I will try to dig up my pictures from the install. There is no need to set backlash unless you made major screw up (like forgot to mark your ring against the carrier ) Althoguh I would check anyway since diff is out you may as well check all of it, anyway.

 

ok cool. thanks for the info
