    CV boot install

    Makes me wonder how they can work so well from the factory, but be such a PITA and useless when putting them on for a repair? I'll definitely get some better clamps. The inside ones on the axle between the two stub shafts are sealing just fine. It's the larger crimp clamps on the stub shaft...

    CV boot install

    The ones that came with my OEM boot kit aren't the hammer type, but rather the ear-type clamp ones that you need those special crimping pliers. Stranger still is that the outboard cv boot on the outer stub axle used was different than the inboard stub axle boot clamp. One was ear type, the other...

    CV boot install

    @linuxgod/Geoff, I'm interested in these clamps. I have a very small amount of grease seeping out of the larger clamps on both sides of the cv boot. I clamped those things as tight as can be. Did the MM-C clamps cause any vibrations from being out of balance? Did you order from Amazon/ebay or...

    As Tundra's and LC 200's are so similar, would the torque specs on the Tundra be the same as the LC? I found this photo online from a Tundra forum. Says 221 ft/lb for those 2 bolts. Sound about right?

    CV boot install

    TexAz, I just wrapped up my CV boot repair. Very different CV axle on the 2016 LC 200. I left the inside shaft in the diff and just pulled the bird cage, balls and race out. From there I removed the race c-clip, and the bird cage, balls and all came off the inside axle shaft. I never could get...

    CV boot install

    Anyone know if the outer cv has c-clips on it? I would have thought the inner and outer would be identical, but I'm battling to find any form of c-clip on the outer cv. I've dug around with a small screwdriver, my fingers and found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    CV boot install

    When I was last in South Africa, I had a diff shop install some Harrop/Eaton E-lockers into my front and rear diffs. I had the misfortune of them nicking the outside cv boot in the process, and I only discovered it the next day, on a Friday around 3pm after having my BP-51's tightened up at...

    CV boot install

    Kurt, these are great ideas, and if I'm honest, I was rather hoping you'd comment! :) With your experience on Expeditions 7, Canguro Racing and your shop Cruiser Outfitters, I figured you'd have a pretty good idea of what specialty tools are needed. I always carried the hub nut socket, plus...

    CV boot install

    Thanks for all the comments. My nice torque wrench was stolen last year. I bought a new one in South Africa which should do the job. I'll have to see if it's up to 250ft/lb though. If not, I'll ask my mechanic buddy tomorrow to see if he has one that big. I'm not familiar with JIS...

    CV boot install

    By the time this cv boot swap is finished, I'll have purchased 3 tools/parts from 3 different countries, and waited weeks for it all to arrive... To avoid doing this again, I'm going to assemble a list of specialty tools that I may need for 200 series repairs in the future. As I'm visiting the...

    CV boot install

    My CV boots just arrived from Dubai, and am now waiting on my boot clamp tool to arrive from the USA. It just dawned on me that my hub nut tool for the 80 series I sold, is probably not the same size as the one on the 200. Anyone know what size the hub nut on a 2016 200 is? 12 or 6 point?

    CV boot install

    Praise GOD! It really looked like it shouldn't need to come out. I've got a c-clip tool. It's critical to nearly all axle work, and I used it a lot on my 80 series and Tacoma when replacing bushings or rebuilding the front end.

    CV boot install

    Looking over the CV axle, once the hub is out of the way and disconnected from the cv axle, it looks as if there would be enough space to change the boot while the axle is on the vehicle. Crimping the bands shouldn't be a problem as there is space at various angles. Has anyone ever done this...

    I had been having a hard time finding the previous part number myself. I started looking on TOYODIY before I did here, and that is where I got the 0442760090 part number. It was hard to find online though. Thanks for connecting me with Partsouq too. It's $161 shipped for the cv boot set, which...

    Tony, THAT, is exactly what I needed. Thanks so much!

    CV boot install

    Was out in the bush this week and had a great time. Saw a number of new places, but in the process, something popped up, and managed to pop a hole in my driver side, inside CV boot... Without a Toyota dealer around, nor any good shops, I'll do the work myself, but I do have some questions...
