887s and 5100 install help-

Yes I did.

 

You did an alignment after ? How long it take?

 

Hi I did mine a while ago the job would be easier if you had access to a hoist did mine on the garage floor and was a PITA but it worked and invest in a good bearing driver for the install and follow the ECGS video and all should be fine I have the removal tool if you want to borrow it I'll send it to you.Your sig says Alberta Im in Sask.

 

I still need my alignment from doing my lift but you shouldnt need to get realigned because of installing this bushing. I didn't need to loosen my lca bolts or make any adjustments to my tierod so my alignment remained the same. Whole job took just under 3 hrs. , Longest part was trying to get the gear lube to pour thru my funnel.

 

That's right @hanrock I'm in Berta. And I'll take you up on that offer man. Thank you. I figured if I was going to pay 60 American for it I might as well put that toward the shop fee for install.

 

Good to know - I think I've built up the confidence now lol. And I really didn't want to pay another 125 for alignment since I just did my lift / alignment.

 

Did you guys get the CV axle seal as well?

 

I did not. I have 5000mi on my truck so I figured if I was careful I could reuse the old one. I only live 30 min away from a Toyota dealer and did the job in the early morning so figured if I hurt the seal id just drive my other vehicle over and get one. So basically it is possible to do it without one.

 

Yes I did there was no signs of needing it but just because it was apart and easy to get at.

 

Thanks guys. Good measure I'll have one handy.

Im going to source one locally through Toyota. 20 American probably turns out to be 30 CAD with shipping. ECGS references the part # directly on their page, so I'll use that for the quote incase anyone else reading this is wondering the same thing.

 

YIKES . Just checked shipping of the bushing .... 35 American. Lol... wtf. Bushing costs 60....
I'm going to call them tomorrow.
