What did you attach to the 80/20 rails to act as a platform? Or do you have a enough rails that your boxes/bags are strapped down to those?

I used a bolt threaded into the splined shaft and pulled. I had one that was real stubborn, so I had a helper run the engine, hold the brakes, and shift between D-N-R while I pulled. That worked wonderfully.

You talking about pulling the CV out of the diff or ? If it's that, just a pry bar.

Transmissions, differentials, and other parts of vehicles have air inside them. The air can heat up and expand, or cool and shrink. These parts need vents to let air in and out, otherwise fluid would blow past seals, or other problems would...

I'm envious of how clean your engine bay is. Not enough to clean my engine bay, but still envious.

Reviving an old thread again... Because it's crucial info. Here is a post-timing belt failure teardown of a 4.7 2UZ-FE, from a Tundra. Spoiler alert... Nothing bad happened inside. Interesting insight video.

I've seen the same one on marketplace, I assumed it once had a topper that was removed. Otherwise it seems like a lot of work for more light.

Are the seals new?

Do you have a long socket extension or screwdriver? Something metal. Makeshift stethoscope. With the engine running, touch it to each fuel injector, other end to your ear, and see if one isn't ticking like the others.
