TW's active 4runner builders BS thread

Haha trust me, I've thought about it. That or welding it together.

 

if that happens itll be for my taco

why not take it to a machine shop to get it pressed in?

 

That's my very last resort. Having a friend come by with some tools and if that doesn't work out then I'm going to have to do that.

 

Air hammer? Good vibes go a long way.
Also use a punch and tap down on the snap ring. Some cases they are indexed like piston rings and have a specific side that goes in. like a beveled edge...

 

Got a buddy with an air hammer. Definitely tried the flat head/hammer on the snap ring. No go. Calmly and patiently waiting for a buddy while freezing them again. Can't wait till this is over.

This was supposed to be installed by Tuesday so I could get in and mount my new tires. Who knew this would be a three day ordeal. Gotta love it.

 

I would have just removed the spindle and gave a machine shop a 12 pack

 

agreed.

I wouldve been afraid to break that spindle from too much hammering

 

one more attempt with a 3 jaw puller underneath to press it in...we'll see if it works.

 

Have you tried loading up the suspension with the weight of the truck?

 

Nuh uh...

 

That wouldn't work because there isn't any direct force on that part that would act as a clamp.

 

@SCRunner12 Where did you order your 3.4 s/c rebuild kit from Rolling performance?

 

10-4

I went with the eBay kit. Works like a charm.

 

Pieced it together myself. You doing a full rebuild?

 

I would like to do a full rebuild. Mostly just bearings and oil. The connector on the nose cone worries me. I don't get why people replace that.

 

so whats all involved?

just slap the supercharger, add premium fuel and vroom vroom?

thats it?

 

Tune

 

After the rebuild, yes.

the "slapping it on" part sucks because of having to deal with belts. I have owned several 3.4s and always hated doing that the most.
