Drive Shaft U-joint Replacement

I have a Tacoma 2005 with 313k on it. I wanted to replace all 3- U-joint (Spider) but I can't find any DIY instructions here. I would really appreciate if anyone could share a link or instructions how to do it.

I may need the U-joint part number also if anyone could share it? And where I could get them for a cheaper price. Thank you

 

313k is very impressive - how'd U do it ? Any major repairs ?

 

This thread I made a while back should help you find the long lasting OEM Spicer joints for lots less than what the dealer wants.

As for DIY instructions, there's gotta be something around here somewhere

 

You can find videos on you tube. I did mine , all three at home with a vise and hammer. I would take the shaft to a machine shop and let them install all three its not hard to do but not worth the few bucks they will charge you.I did mine at 86,000

 

After I paid off the car, I started all maintenance (major & minor) by myself. And I'm putting Mobile 1 synthetic oil on it and change it every 5k. I think this is the major thing that gives the engine long life. I give all the credits to this forum how I did all the maintenance work.

I did replaced front left wheel bearing twice thru Toyota dealer which is very expensive. Then I replaced the front right wheel bearing by myself which saves me almost $500. I replaced front rotor once and front brakes twice. I did replaced also the rear brake pads once. Also replaced idler pulley yesterday.

 

Thanks for the link.

I have read already a thread here that the vehicle is identical with mine
