Hmmp.

So. Pull ABS/speed sensor, losen all brake cable/line bracketry, remove the four nuts from the back of each hub and just yank? Then pull the third?

 

Also going to go ape shit with brake cleaner. There is metal everywhere

 

Yes

 

I just pray those axle seals hold up.

 

did you not get all new seals/gaskets?

 

Third is out. Cleaning the housing

 

​

 

Of fucking course i did.

Just didn't want to pull the axle shafts if i didn't have to. Going to anyway now because there is so much metal in the rear end

 

New third is back in.

Cleaned the entire housing and both axle shafts.

Put new axle seals in.







Can't get the hard lines back on because they got bent and now my soft rubber lines are twisted. Slamming it back together and ordering stainless braided brake lines

 

By the time you fix what's broken, and replace what you break while fixing..


Shit'll be brand new.

 

Must bleed the brakes, install the driveshaft, put the wheels and tires on, then proceed to break it in

 

Brake lines are now sorted. Just needed to walk away from it for a moment

 

@JD'STaco do you have a part number for the toyota LSD addative?

 

No sorry! Mine doesn't call for it.

I have everything to do the change but haven't done it yet.
This is the OEM fluid.


Maybe the part # is in this Thread. Looks like Peeps are using what ever is available from the auto part store.

No worries then. I'll just use the stuff i got from napa.

Thank you

 

Welcome! I got home And and checked my Chilton manual and as far as the gear oil goes your year is different: '05 - '011 V6 models call for above 0* F ~ API GL - 5 SAE 90w gear oil.

Below 0* API GL 5 SAE 80w-90.
Disregard my last post.

 

The Fill and Drain Plug torque spec is 36 Ft- lbs.
