How to Install a Center Support Bearing (First Gen Toyota Tacoma)

When I first bought the Tacoma, I noticed a pretty good vibration in first and second gear and after inspecting the carrier bearing on the drive shaft, I found it to be completely worn out. In today’s video we go over the process of how to remove the drive shaft, remove and replace the carrier bearing and replace the two u joints on the axle and transfer case flanges.

Mine did that from day one and when you put a new carrier bearing in there dang near just as much play. Best fix, 1 piece driveline. Thumbs up on the video.

Thanks I appreciate it, I did take it for a drive after and it made a partial difference, definitely less vibration, as to the one piece drive shafts I did look at those but it appears atleast for the first gens tom woods stopped making them because it did not solve the vibration issues particularly caused by flange angles due to suspension lifts, it seems like there are no great solutions

[@jameskarr5550]

Do U Recall where U bought the aluminum press clamp, to push in needle bearing caps??
