    I just replaced all ball joints on my 2WD this weekend. If you’re considering it save yourself the headaches I had and get TOYOTA parts from a dealer. I purchased all Delphi parts and the uppers needed about 1/2” of metal shaved off of the mounting area to get them to fit in the control arm. The lowers were fine at least. You will also need new tie rod ends since you cannot reuse any kind of ball joint!
    I also recommend anyone doing this to get new Timken bearings, races, hub seals, and grease. OEM is Timken and it takes only an extra 30 minutes to get the hub off, clean it up, pound out the races with a steel punch, seat new ones with a $20 bearing press kit, pack em with grease and put it back on the spindle. Also don’t bother trying to get new hubs unless you get them directly from Toyota. Any aftermarket hub that says it fits a first gen 2WD is wrong. Make sure you have a new metal outer hub seal/cap. The previous owner didn’t have it installed on one side and the bearing failed catastrophically. A 2-1/2” PVC coupler worked great to hammer on the new outer cap.
    Also if your brake rotors are looking a little rough, replace them when you do the bearings. The rotors have to be replaced with the hub off the spindle so might as well knock that out too.
    Also unrelated but I changed out the clutch hydraulics and soft hose on mine with 180K on it. Chocolate pudding came out of the bottom of the master cylinder. New AISIN (Toyota OEM) cylinders are on amazon for $80. If you have high mileage it’s a good idea to replace these so you’re not stranded with a dead clutch pedal. It was a pretty easy job, just tedious to get the soft hose body clips off.

    Great video, and nice camera angles! I have a 2004 PreRunner with 140k miles (original owner), so I'm due for this service. I feel much better about tackling this after watching your video. I wondered about that squarish boot covering the ball joint (noticed it last night when checking it out). I just bought a '98 4Runner (already had the LBJs replaced 👍), and it doesn't have that boot, so it must have been added in the last couple of years on the 1st Gen Tacomas. Thanks!

    I think it will be easier if you put the new ball joint on the wheel hub with the 4 bolts on first(doesn't have to be tighten yet), then you can install the castle nut on the ball joint at the lower control arm, you don't have to move the wheel hub around trying to line up 1 of the 4 bolts.

    • @4207Points
      @4207Points ปีที่แล้ว

      They actually have little sleeves that stick out from the two back bolts if you put those in first it lines up the 4 bolts really easy.

    • @Whiskeyj456
      @Whiskeyj456 23 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I just did this on my 2WD and it was a nightmare lining up the sleeves to the holes on the knuckle with the ball joint in place. On the other side I attached the ball joint assembly to the knuckle then mounted the ball joint stud to the control arm. MUCH easier.

    Your tutorials make maintenance and upgrades seem very feasible. You've inspired me to start working on my truck myself more! Especially since I just gave the mechanic a bunch of money to replace the lower and upper control arms, but they didn't bother with the lower ball joints. I didn't even realize they needed to be replaced ever 100k miles. Might have to do this before the projector retrofit...

      @dcppcp Yeah, when the OP was trying to "fit" the separator I was YELLING at my COMPUTER SCREEN... LOL 😅😂🤣... that you need to remove the whole castle nut.
      EXTREMELY well made video though and very HIGH props to the OP.
      Me personally, I would use Blue Loctite instead of the Red Loctite. Blue will also handle, well enough, any vibrational looseness to said bolt and/or nut, whichever applies. In either case, if using Red, DO NOT drown the damn bolt with Red Loctite!!! I'm not saying the OP did it here, which is very good. What I'm getting at is that I saw a different video and the guy just GOOPED on the Red Loctite... I mean A LOT OF IT!!! I was like HOLY SH** DUDE???!!! You only need a little bit. The same goes for "EZ Break" (a.k.a. anti seize) on lug nut bolts, for example. For anyone reading this, if you put on too much anti seize on lug bolts, you will actually "over torque" the lug nut and very likely snap the lug bolt and/or WEAKEN the hell outta of it due to over-shearing stress on the bolt!!!

    I noticed in the 4 small bolts I took out 2 are longer and 2 shorter.. I believe the longer ones go in the front holes but can anyone confirm before I go slapping this thing back together?

    I still think it would be better to spend the money and buy a ball joint remover tool.
    Then pounding on the metal it’s gotta be changing the shape of the hole 🕳️.
    I know it’s been done for years like this but I think there has to be a better way.

      Hitting it with a hammer is fine. If the hammer was enough to damage it, what do you think 100k+ miles of driving would do to it?

      You have to torch the bolt heads for red thread locker. Blue thread locker may work. You have to check the temp rating. The blue is for vibration and not for high heat applications. I would use Blue myself.

      @pnwxplore  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Essentially everyone who is familiar with 1st Gen tacomas and 4 runners that use the same LBJ style. The design of these was flawed and that’s why they need to be inspected or replaced more often as the failure mode is much worse than other generations of Toyota trucks

    Can you provide the part number or link of the arm puller you used? Also, any reason you couldn’t use that to separate the toe rod joint as well?
