Front end differential mounts

Anyone know how hard it would be to replace the front end differential mounts by chance my driver and passenger are pretty rusted out and can get them from the dealership under 400$ which isn't bad at all just don't want to pay them for installation

 

You’d need to remove the diff and press them out using a hydraulic press. A u joint press night work but it would likely result in a whole weekend wasted.

 

Couple of bolts shouldn’t take too long.

 

6-7 bolts, should be pretty quick. If a bolt breaks off in the diff housing due to rust, the workload of course goes up significantly.

This thread has a screenshot of the parts diagram showing the simplicity: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/need-help-with-part-number-diff-mount-bolts.513074/

 

I had a feeling it wouldn't be too hard was just looking underneath the truck over the weekend while doing some greasing and cleaning up some dirt and mud off and saw they were rusted out gonna have the dealer order the pair and get them replaced.

 

^Those diff mounts, like the spindles, are forgings with minimal paint on them. They rust after one winter. They don't need to be replaced unless you see pieces falling off them.
