New to the world of land cruisers just wondering how hard it is to change the bearing in the front diff where the front drive line connects. Thanks

Replacing the pinion bearing in the front diff is pretty hard.
But, before you decide that needs to be done, why are you asking? Only because of the "growl?" A growl is normal (though we could mean different things by the word). When you hear the growl, are you on pavement?

Mine has a bit of a growl, only on deceleration in 4x4 on any surface. No growl from the diff when just the hubs are locked in.
U-joints replaced, shaft spline tight, diff fluid at correct level.

Check your "U" joints in your front driveshaft for starters.

no growl when the hubs are locked with 4X not engaged, will check my u joints, was not aware that there would or could be a slight growl from the front end. Thanks for the help
Also check your diff fluid level.
These trucks can run a long time with various problems before breaking down. If your bearings are going bad you may have plenty of time to prepare for the fix.
