What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Once you are down to the snap ring and it's out, does the back half of the clutch come off easily? I am seeing some folks had trouble.

 

damn wtf...

 

I don't think I needed to pull that off to replace the bearing.

Next trip report started, with @Blackdawg, @BossFoss, and @PcBuilder14.

...Little did I know what was in store, or all that we would see. We had no idea that by the end, our trip would be in Ruins.

Read the first chapter and get ready for the rest:

I checked my FSM a little bit ago and this is all it says



But you have to get the Freon vacuumed out first, so I may try and not do that. But for the time being I'm going to cut my AC belt and push this issue farther down the road

Edit: It also says stuff about the clutch coil but if you're just replacing the bearing or the entire assembly you should be able to leave it on there

 

It doesn't fit on my supercharger manifold which is strange. Holes don't line up and the hole for the EGR is too big.

 

@se7enine

Here is the gasket on my intake manifold. I believe I need the EGR valve to intake manifold gasket and I was given the EGR tube gasket.

As you can see the EGR hole is too big, and the stud holes don’t line up.

 

Is the rear portion of the driveshaft the same regardless of the rest of the drivetrain? I'm guessing the carrier bearing point is the same on the ex and double cabs so the shaft should be the same right?

 

Yep.

Bringing the intake manifold portion adjacent to the throttle body to a machine shop today, have to get both EGR holes welded and retapped. I’m asking about the gasket because I want to give one to them as a template.

 

I believe some single cabs have a single piece driveshaft. My manual hubs came from a 4x4 single cab I4 that was single piece.

 

Yes. It's the portion between the trans and carrier bearing that changes.

My spare is off an auto and is identical.

 

That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure before I run to Denver.

 

How hard is it to remove one of our front fenders?

I have rotten clearcoat on my driver front fender. Looking to sand, prime, paint, clear it. Doesn't have to be perfect (the rest of the truck isn't near perfect) just better than the rotten clear coat I'm looking at... Do I need to remove the fender, or could I just mask shit off?

Body work is not my forté

 

It's pretty easy, its like 8 small bolts. Kind of a pain to work it back into place to get on but just takes some finangling.

 

I'm assuming it involves removing headlight and grill... ugh... I just installed those damn things lol

 

Just grill, filler panel and maybe the side marker

 

I didn't remove the grill or the headlight. The corner light yes, but that just comes right off.

I'm sure it would be much easier to put back into place if you remove those other parts but you don't need to.

 

My sidemarkers and headlights are one piece... sounds like I should have thought this out better lol

 

Hmm, I thought there was a bolt under the filler.

But it has been A year and a half since I took mine off so
