Driver Side UCA bolt removal issue

Has anyone installed UCAs on the 2024 taco?

The passenger side had no issues, but the driver side didn't have enough room to remove the UCA bolt through the engine bay. We disconnected the big hose, but more room is needed.

Are there any posts, or videos on the install? The only thing I found was removing the front bumper and undoing the radiator supports.

Here is a quick pic.

 

The ICON manual had some information. Look up their install guide on thier website. You have to jack up the front radiator core support a bit.

I didn't even take off the skid plate and put my jack under it to push that radiator up a bit.

 

Yes, found that too: https://images.iconfigurators.app/pdf/I58552DJ_REVA_3283.pdf

Thanks for the tip, so just jack up the core support bolt, do you put a socket on the bolt to protect it?

 

Looking at step 7, If I did get the right bolt mine was there but had the plastic skid plate covering over it a little bit. I put a little 2 1/2 # sledge on top of the jack to focus on a smaller area of the skid plate under that bolt. Since it's the edge, the skid plate bent up in that spot to put pressure on the support bolt. Maybe in their manual the truck didn't have a skid plate because it sure looks like the "right" way would have been to unbolt it. I didn't mind warping it a bit and that did the trick. It's a tight fit in there and one long bolt runs through both UCA joints sliding forward. Make sure you have the 22 mm socket and combo wrench.

 

Ok so this worked, I used a floor jack, a bottle jack, and a socket to go around the core support bolt. It lifted the plastic part up enough for the bolt to come out.

 

Awesome. I'm glad that worked out for you.
