But get in line

 

lol.

 

I did mines a while ago but I sold the tool that ecgs sells to remove it. I'm pretty sure it's doable without it but it'll be a pain in the ass.

 

I might end up just buying the tools to change out the needle bearing from ECGS. I wanna change it out when I do my 3" lift on my 3rd gen Tacoma just incase its starts to vibrate after install everything.

 

I can do the repairs.. but like @LogCabins said you gotta wait in line haha... Sorry I have only but 2 hands and very little free time but I do take side jobs and I do what I feel to be a good job, at reasonable costs

 

i have the tool. i still owe you for the napa favor.

 

can rent out the tool when I ready? did yours end up vibrating after you lifted your truck?

 

No napa prices are easy, I just have to make the phone call haha. But I appreciate that

 

i did have vibes after lifting. i forgot to measure before lifting so i have no idea how much lift i have though. plus its gone down since i added my bumper and winch.

i can loan it to you. No need rent. Lemme know when you need it. Maybe we can start a borrow tools thread for oahu?

 

On that note anyone have a brake line/tube bender, and u joint removal/install tool

 

Idk about that borrow tools thread. I can't be without my shit... The one I know going out on plenty "rentals" is the multimatic 200... And I can't have that hahaha. Best we just keep that kind in here

 

What you mean u joint tool? Yours isn't small screws holding 2 straps per side? Isn't that like an 8mm hex head? Or are you talking about the yoke?

 

I need to change my carrier bearing on my drive shaft, so I'm gonna change my universal joints since they are probably all the original with 200k plus miles. I know there is like a c clamp style press you can use to press them out and back in with

Afaik you don't need that kind. If your crosses are the same as most others, you remove the circlip and pop out the bearing caps, put on a new set of caps with bearings them grease after assembly.

 

Gotta pop them bitches out somehow...and while I don't mind using a socket and hammer to get the old ones out....definitely don't want to put the new ones in with a hammer

 

The brass drift for knocking the old ones out, and sockets in a vice to put them back together....

 

Word

 

Autozone has a bunch of tools for "free" rental. You pay for the part and then return it for full refund as part of their loan-a-tool program. Changed out all my ujoints with their big c-clamp bearing press kit. Also used their vacuum pump on my ac system after I changed out the compressor. Not sure if oreilly's has same thing

 

Mahalo'z Mike....I believe Oreillys has the same, will hit one of them up.....so I don't have to carry my driveshaft upstairs out on my lanai where my vice is be a lot easier to just do it in the bed of the truck
