Thank you so much, I appreciate that!! You're so welcome, thanks again for watching! :)
Definitely one of the best..
Great video work and narration..thanks for posting
Thank you, I’m glad it helped!! Have a great rest of your week!
I watch another axle removal video where the guy didn't have to disassemble the whole parking brake he just unbolted the cable bolts leading down the side of the frame which gave him enough clearance to pull the whole axle out something you might consider next time thanks for the videos
Thanks, I recently bought one and I wasn't sure if I had to disassemble the diff like a GMT. Also having the proper drum took kit makes reassembly way easier. They are cheap on ebay.
Awesome! You're weclome!
Good video,thanks for the steps, very informative, keep up the good work.
Hi Amancio, thank you! I'm glad this video helped you out. Please stay tuned for a couple videos coming out this weekend.
Thanks so much for sharing/making these videos. I'm learning a lot from you. I recently bought my 07 FJ Cruiser AWD AT and working on it to upgrade it. I'll hit you up for some tips. See you!
You're so welcome, thanks for watching and I'm glad they help you!! You're going to have a lot of fun with that FJ, they're pretty much indestructible! Have a great day! :)
Great heads up on the distance needed first !!!
Thank you! :)
Love this!!!!!
A quick question: is the axle assembly common to the 4 runner and tacoma? I may have bent my axle and I am looking to replace it with a junk part.
Hi! It looks like the axles are the same for 2003-2009 4 runners and for the 2007-2009 FJ. I believe the Tacoma's are different.
@@RDGarage thanks for your guidance! I swapped out the axle in my garage. The only issue I have now is that I looked down the axle housing and it looks like there is a sheet metal sleeve near the diff that is oddly bent. I have no idea what it is. The diff is whining and I'm wondering if it is the cause. I got a picture of it if you think you can identify it. It certainly seems out of place.
@@darkrogue234 go ahead and send me the pic, I don’t really know what it could be offhand. Was it the front or rear? racheljthurow@gmail.com
@@RDGarage thanks! Will do!
Will a leaking seal already damage the bearing?
No, not immediately. As long as you didn't run it low on fluid or suck containments back through the leaking seal. When replacing the seal, always make sure the vents are clear. Sorry I didn't answer sooner, youtube doesn't always notify me when I have a new comment. :( Thanks for watching!!
Ahhh I noticed no reasembly of drum brakes.....
jennifer fancey I’m so sorry!! We’re trying to get that video done but we had to delay the project because of a trip. I promise we will come back to it! Thanks for watching and the comment!!
@@RDGarage Thanks for putting out this video! any chance of an update on the reassembly video?
@@timtran5543 Yes, definitely in the works! We had finally filmed it a couple weeks ago and it didn't turn out so we're going to do it again. Grrr!
Thanks so much for watching!
@@RDGarage Awesome! thank you so much. Looking forward to changing out my rear axle seal
I thought all fjs were disc brakes all around
