Never in all my time watching repair videos have I see one as excellent as this. Truthfully I am still blown away by it. Every step was crystal clear. Lighting and quality of video was the best I have ever seen PERIOD! The tips throughout the entire video were beyond helpful. The quick recap of what he did at the end such as filling the diff back up, etc just made the video fully complete. Lastly, the torque settings displayed popped out really nice and the font was perfect. I normally don’t comment on repair videos...if they are good I will give a thumbs up. For a video of this amazing quality I took the time to comment, gave it a thumbs up, saved video in my favorites and subscribed to the channel. The attention given to every detail of this video allows me to easily state this is the best repair video I’ve ever seen and I’ve watched endless numbers of video. This one has set the standard for which I will judge all other repair videos...yes it is that good. Thank you for making this video it is a true gem. Wow!!!
Dude, all I have to say is WOW. I really appreciate the kind words. Comments like this make all this hard work worth it. Cheers! Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Yessirree, I do my best to be as thorough as possible with this information and installation. Please share my vids with your tacoma friends and help my channel grow!
Way back b4 they had the needle bearings in all the T100's, they had the brass bushings but most didn't have needle bearing....it took me forever to convince Toyota that mine had it and get it ordered. They thought mine didn't have needle bearing. Now, 8yrs plus they have a bushing that's better than the needle bearing??.....lol. I bought in 95 and still have it but this was a tough job!
Once again your repair video saved me! Struggled for over an hour and still couldn't seat the CV. Two mins after watching video, it's in and I'm putting it back together. I hope you never stop working on your second gen!
Great vid, KFlo. Thanks for the best description and images of the ECGS bushing upgrade along with all the helpful socket sizes and torque specs. As always, your videos set the standard. Love it. Thank you.
Great video. I’m looking to lift my ‘21 Tacoma 2” in the front and 1” in the back to level it out. Would this needle bearing switch to the bushing be necessary when lifting? I have 55k miles on the truck. Thanks.
LOL Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! I do have the dobinsons suspension setup now and you can check out my latest walk around video. Although, feel free to donate to the channel's beer fund to help fund future DIY videos! cheers bud 🍻🍻
Dude your videos have been SPOT ON for my tacoma experience. You have a video for everything that has given me trouble, and i always reference your channel when doing a project now
Do you only put it on the driver side? Is there another one on the passenger side? All the videos I’ve seen including yours only do the drivers side. Is there a reason why?
Please don't use a pickle fork on those ball joints, it is very hard not to damage the boots. Get a pitman arm/tie rod/ball joint puller. Also why the hell didn't you PB blast your axle nut?
Solid video. Ordered the removal tool from ECGS and it wouldn’t seat in behind the needle bearing had to tap it in and that caused the back side of the needle bearing to shatter...not a big deal had to use a magnet to get out all the bits...aside from that really great install video. Thanks again.
could the bearing be the reason my axle has up and down movement when i grab and move it? looks easy enough to do. i would just remove upper control arm bold and tie rod to do axel.
Bro. Just wanted to thank you for this (and all your videos). I just got done doing this with no prior experience apart from oil changes and brake jobs. It was a bit nerve wracking but your video was by far the most helpful of all the ones I've watched. I appreciate all of your hard work that goes into making these videos!
Great video. You kind of have a rust bucket truck, which is pretty typical for most people. It's a lot more interesting because that's how the real world works, not just showroom trucks getting an aftermarket lift kit when they have 3000 miles on the odometer, and only being driven to Costco on weekends.
Lol thanks for the compliment. Reality is definitely different from the high bankroll shows about car upgrades. This channel has been a passion project, self funded and now I'm working on it as a lifestyle
Good Video, but a Claw Hammer is not allowed near a car or in a Mechanic's tool box. Maybe a couple good Snap on Ball Peen Hammers. 3 lb and 5 lbs. Oh and a Brass Hammer is a life saver also.
Does all this apply to a 2013 tacoma? I pulled everything out and simply do not see the pin bearings. Is the pin bearing only on the driver side. I'm asking as I only removed the passenger side.
Awesome attention to detail, especially the bushing install. Thanks for the excellent videography and explanations. (Now I'm just going to hire someone to to this. 😂)
The needle bearimg noise goes away when you put it in 4wd. Although if it is worn out really bad then it can be the cause of the noise as well. Is the growling noise rhythmic/cyclic?
@@KFloTacoma Noise been going for about 6 months now, hooked ears up to front diff and that's where growl is coming from. It is cyclical and changes frequency as you get faster/slower. Usually starts about ~20 mph. 2 separate mechanics recommended front diff replacement, your option would save me a metric ton if it were the fix you said.
If you're talking about the rear axle shims, both mods are independent and it doesn't really matter which one you do first. This mod does take longer than the axle shims.
I can’t get that special tool to sit behind the needle bearing almost like it’s too big or the not enough space between those 2 bearings wtf. It seems yours went in pretty fast
Can you explain why it is only a driver's side issue?? TY On my truck, I am feeling a bit of a vibration around 50 mpg but not bad and goes away above or below that speed range. This week I noticed a sound of vibration at start up. Seems like its coming from around my feet when i'm turning it over. (turning on the truck) I can feel play on the driver's side CV connection to the diff, and just a little bit of play on the passenger's side.... so I am fairly certain this is my current issue. Truck has 237k miles, still original clutch, (I haven't done the ClutchMasters Hydro bearing fix yet, but that part is now on my shelf waiting for the clutch to finally fail.....) DCSB, 4x4. For a year and a half it has Bilstein 5100s with an OME883 springs and an AAL in the rear that were installed when Toyota replaced the frame, summer 2018. So it's lifted maybe 1-2 inches. Stock tires for now, but I did just buy new wheels and am saving up for larger tires... 305's or similar.
i know that the driver side cv axle is connected directly to the spider gear, while the passenger side has the actuator collar and assembly and then goes into another shaft which then goes into the passenger CV axle. Toyota may have a different tolerance stack in the assembly of the passenger side diff. I can't really give a definitive answer unless I break down that front diff completely and inspect the design. Yup, it sounds like the issue you are having is indeed the needle bearing. Good luck brother!
@@KFloTacoma When buying my bushing last week, I asked ECGS and I thought they implied that the other (passenger) side is a different type of bearing, maybe Ball type vs the axial Pin roller style of the Drivers side - also the overall Clamshell unit is Asymmetrical and each side experiences different loading.... I'm going to try my Bushing install next weekend.... fingers crossed that I can drive away from my drive way when done!
Hey man. I put these part numbers here a week ago. I must have hit my seals too hard or didn't grease them enough, because my job leaked. So I got more seals, and am going back into the trench this Saturday. I noticed your seal had a gold metal ring on the outside of it. The part numbers I ordered don't have that gold metal ring. I watched this video, th-cam.com/video/mh1BK5--KrU/w-d-xo.html, and that fellow (though working on a 4Runner) had the exact part numbers still bagged shown in that video, without the gold metal rings, but, when he takes out the old ones, there are gold metal rings on it. Are these OEM seals updated? Or do I have the wrong seal? Opinions appreciated.
I think mine were aftermarket. OEM or aftermarket, they are made to the same spec so it should be ok regardless. Did you check the diff's mounting surface to see if any of the surfaces was scored/scratched accidentally? Yea, I would recommend adding wheel bearing grease at the seal's surface to make sure it glides and seals properly on the CV's
All your videos are great and the videography is awesome, a lot of the other ECGS clamshell bushing install videos give a terrible vantage point. Question for ya, it looked like you hammered the bushing past flush, about 1/8 of an inch, is that the case or just the video angle. Thanks again.
that's just the case with the video angle and how you're looking at it. If you're looking at the right side of the bushing pausing at 9:20, you'll probably see the debris in the groove between the bushing and the casing - you can kind see that those two surfaces are flush.
I used a 4"x1/2" bolt, 1/2 and a 7/8" washer which I ground down 1/8" on opposing sides, I slid the bolt head 1/2", 7/8" washers thru the old bearing then I added a piece of flat bar 4"x2"x3/8" with a 1/2" hole, 3 1/2 jam nuts, 1 to pull the bearing out and 2 locked on the end to hold the bolt from turning. cost me $4.64 Canadian. note: if the o.d. of the 7/8" washer is a little smaller then the bearing just peen the unground sides to expand to the o.d. of the bearing.
Just FYI, it appears that the amazon link to the Diver side Diff Axle Seal is wrong. It is actually for the passenger side. I just ordered one for the driver side and it was wrong.
Excellent video. I have replaced the same needle bearing on my FJ cruiser because it had a play, but I have the problem that when doing the test in motion, it leaks oil because the CV axle sticks out a little, what could be the reason? ?
Have new 2022 4Runner with 300 miles on it that has vibration between 40-50, noise goes away in 4wd. Taken to dealership twice, once the noise was not noticeable, 2nd time they heard the noise and did several tests which came back inclusive so they said it was normal, to take it home , drive it, bring back if gets worse. They drained front differential and no metal was found in oil. Used electronic listening device, checked brakes and tires and maybe other tests. If you research it it seems to be bad front drivers side needle bearing. I plan on driving it few more days or weeks then if noise still noticeable, I taking it back to dealership. Any thoughts?
Just till the fill hole starts overflowing, I have a whole video on that so check that out on this channel! thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Heard several methods on installing the seal. I installed seal even to outerlip such as you did but leaking gear oil. I've seen a few people push in about 1/8 further in.
Great videos thank you for all the details! 👍🏼 I just installed the new bushing new seals and cv axle. There’s a little in and out play from the cv axle is that normal?
Your videos are awesome man! I saw a Vermont plate there too. Representin'! thanks for all the effort you put into these videos. I've saved a lot of money.
LOL I wish I can. Unfortunately, i'm up to my neck with open projects and the truck is just one of them! Although, I'm sure you can do it if you follow this video closely! 😉
I put the bearing in like a pro with the help of your video. It went so smooth that I was shocked. The new bearing took away the sound/vibration completely. My 2015 Tacoma drives like a Cadillac now. Super big thanks for making a detailed video.
Yes it will. Just ordered mine. When on the ECGS site you can either pick from a 7.5" clamshell (3rd gen 4runner) or 8'' clamshell (4th and 5th gen 4runner. You also have to give them your year make and model when ordering so Im positive they sort that out.
@@KFloTacoma ok thx man, your videos are really helpful and saving me a ton of money by doing it my self and following ur guidance. Correct me if I’m wrong, here’s my shopping cart to do a lift the proper way so far imo: dobinsons full 2” lift kit (coil overs, shocks, new leaf packs, I bolts, ECGS bushing, front diff drop kit, SPC upper control arms Let me know if I’m missing anything else :) I wanna do it once so I don’t have to go back after vibrations if they occur
I would recommend watching my driveline vibrations video. You have most of the necessary parts covered though. You may need the carrier bearing drop / angled shim kit which can be installed later. You can watch the said video for more information. What I bolts are you referring to? Also if you're planning to put on 33" tires you'll need to do the cmc mod
I'm not really understanding the question - I'm going to need you to reword. If you watch the video, the axle seals can only go one way at the hub end as well as the differential end.
Hello the seal that you took out after you pull out the CV shaft I got that part number. What about the part number that you pull out with your finger? Please let me know. Thank you.
I have a 2020 tacoma sr. I'm feeling the vibrarion rumble strip feeling when I brake ....the truck is stock....could this bearing by my issue?the truck has 5000 miles on it...what coukd it be?

Do u install the ecgs bushing in both sides driver and passenger ??
Just driver side
I want to know if it is the same for the passenger side because I have not seen a video that they do the left side thank
You only need the driver side. It's a stub shaft on the passenger side which doesn't have the issue
This guy knows his shit! we should all chip in and get this guy some new shocks.

What about passenger side u also need to the needle bushing
You only need the driver side

Yes just driver's side
So what about the passenger side?

I'm glad the video helped. I think that tool is hand made so there's some inconsistencies in the build there
Maybe a dumb question but did you replace the driver and passenger bearings? Seen a few videos on these ECS replacements and can’t find any info
could the bearing be the reason my axle has up and down movement when i grab and move it? looks easy enough to do. i would just remove upper control arm bold and tie rod to do axel.

best video i've seen on this job. great detail!
Thanks dude. Please share my vids with your Tacoma friends to help my channel grow
Lol I used a homemade removal tool for mine since I’m cheap 🤣. No more vibration or leaks now though with a 2” front lift
What did your homemade tool look like? I'm having such a pain using a slide hammer
Can you do this with the sway bar on but remove the linkage?

only driver side or recommended passenger side too
Just driver side
Too pull the needle barring out go to autozone an rent a needle barring puller an there slide hammer.

If it makes the growling noise originating from the front diff in 2wd and 4H, is it still needle bearing or something else?
The needle bearimg noise goes away when you put it in 4wd. Although if it is worn out really bad then it can be the cause of the noise as well. Is the growling noise rhythmic/cyclic?

Did this noise start after a lift kit install? If so, then the issue is most definitely the needle bearing. If not then it may be the diff.
@@KFloTacoma looking like the front diff, no lift. Thanks for the info.
Have you flushed the front dif oil?
Should I do this mod before axle shims? I have carrier bearing spacer installed right now
If you're talking about the rear axle shims, both mods are independent and it doesn't really matter which one you do first. This mod does take longer than the axle shims.

Seal part numbers,
Drivers side

Hey man. I put these part numbers here a week ago. I must have hit my seals too hard or didn't grease them enough, because my job leaked.

Hi Cesar, the socket size doesn't matter. Its whatever has the same diameter. When in doubt, you can also but the tool from ECGS
Excellent video. I have replaced the same needle bearing on my FJ cruiser because it had a play, but I have the problem that when doing the test in motion, it leaks oil because the CV axle sticks out a little, what could be the reason? ?

They drained front differential and no metal was found in oil. Used electronic listening device, checked brakes and tires and maybe other tests. If you research it it seems to be bad front drivers side needle bearing. I plan on driving it few more days or weeks then if noise still noticeable, I taking it back to dealership. Any thoughts?
Hey do u know where i can Buy the ECGS bushing ?
Yes, it's linked on my pinned comment
how do you know when to stop filling the front diff? just fill to the hole?
Just till the fill hole starts overflowing, I have a whole video on that so check that out on this channel! thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Pro Tip, remove the bump-stop with a pipe wrench to get a lot more room to swing when driving the bushing home.
Great idea!
Heard several methods on installing the seal. I installed seal even to outerlip such as you did but leaking gear oil. I've seen a few people push in about 1/8 further in.
Does that lil bit of play on the bearing cause vibration

Awesome! Thank you! I'm glad to have helped! That's a bit of a long story on that vermont plate lol
Do you replace both sides or just driver side only?
Driver side only
Does this apply to 20!8 tacoma as well? I see 2005-2017 everywhere on line
You’re awesome real master mechanic
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel, Carlos!
Thanx
hola tengo una pregunta el lado del pasajero es igual o es diferente bushing
The bushing is only on the driver side. Google translate to Spanish "el casquillo solo esta del lado del"
No bushing on the passenger side. Google translate to Spanish "sin casquillo en el lado del pasajero"
@@KFloTacoma thanks for your information I really appreciate it
thumbs up for the gold finger clip
Yesh, toight like a toiger
Sub'd. Great videos man!!
Thanks for supporting the channel bud!
Whats the reason you add grease to the splines
It works like assembly lubricant to let the splines slide into each other easier as well as keep the surfaces corrosion resistant.
Great video with really clear instructions. Thank you for making this!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I need to replace mine, how long will the stock needle bearing last it's making noise after my front end lift.
Wanna make a few bucks and do mine? Im near AC haha
LOL I wish I can. Unfortunately, i'm up to my neck with open projects and the truck is just one of them! Although, I'm sure you can do it if you follow this video closely! 😉
I put the bearing in like a pro with the help of your video. It went so smooth that I was shocked. The new bearing took away the sound/vibration completely. My 2015 Tacoma drives like a Cadillac now. Super big thanks for making a detailed video.
Do you know if this needle bearing will fit a 2007 4runner sr5 v6?! I've been trying to find this part forever! So glad I've came across your video!
4 runner and tacomas are very similar. I would suggest reaching out to ECGS and have them confirm that it will work with your truck
Yes it will. Just ordered mine. When on the ECGS site you can either pick from a 7.5" clamshell (3rd gen 4runner) or 8'' clamshell (4th and 5th gen 4runner. You also have to give them your year make and model when ordering so Im positive they sort that out.
I have a 97 Tacoma and my CV axles are flopping do they make this bushing for that differential
Do I need to do this for my15 Tacoma. I’m planning to do 2-3inch lift and want to know if I need this done and do I need a diff drop kit as well
Yes and yes
@@KFloTacoma ok thx man, your videos are really helpful and saving me a ton of money by doing it my self and following ur guidance. Correct me if I’m wrong, here’s my shopping cart to do a lift the proper way so far imo: dobinsons full 2” lift kit (coil overs, shocks, new leaf packs, I bolts, ECGS bushing, front diff drop kit, SPC upper control arms
Let me know if I’m missing anything else :) I wanna do it once so I don’t have to go back after vibrations if they occur
I would recommend watching my driveline vibrations video. You have most of the necessary parts covered though. You may need the carrier bearing drop / angled shim kit which can be installed later. You can watch the said video for more information. What I bolts are you referring to? Also if you're planning to put on 33" tires you'll need to do the cmc mod
Great video planning on doing the same on my ford escape. Can you please tell me when do you know the bushing is pushed all the way in?
The two front surfaces just needed to be parallel
Thank
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
dang, that axle nut of yours look like a pain.. glad that i live a little down in the south.
Rust is a pain in the ass bro!
Which direction does the axle seal go in? Does the spring face outside or inside?
I'm not really understanding the question - I'm going to need you to reword. If you watch the video, the axle seals can only go one way at the hub end as well as the differential end.
The spring side is the back of the seal which should face the inside of the diff.
Used this video to pull my spindles off, thanks for the info, it really helped.
Glad it helped! Please share my channel with your tacoma friends!
Hello KFlo Tacoma what year of your Tacoma that you are working on it? Thanks.
2009 TRD Sport
Hello the seal that you took out after you pull out the CV shaft I got that part number. What about the part number that you pull out with your finger? Please let me know. Thank you.
It's under the description of the video
I have a 2020 tacoma sr. I'm feeling the vibrarion rumble strip feeling when I brake ....the truck is stock....could this bearing by my issue?the truck has 5000 miles on it...what coukd it be?
If it's happening when you're braking, then your brake rotors may be warped
Can you recommend a shop in N.J. to do this install?
Excellent video!!!! Exactly what I needed to know!!!
I liked all the tips and tricks with jack stands and rachet straps. I will add those to my arsenal as well.
Is there any harm done by not fixing this problem?
"grease the shaft" ha ha ha
Its always good to grease your shaft! You'll enjoy my clutch replacement series if you enjoy this type of humor LMAO
So this only needs to be done only on driver side?
Yes - just the driver side
@@KFloTacoma
Thanks for the fast reply i will be ordering the ECGS bushing now
K flo.. korean flo? Like k pop.. lol..
LOL K flo, it's just like Z Ack. Short for my actual name
It's only for the drive side
Yes, this is only for the driver side
Great video!! Keep these Tacoma videos coming!👍
Glad you enjoyed this video. Please share with your Tacoma friends and help my channel grow!
