Now that I am doing the air-locker install, I will be more methodical. I got a list (kinda) from Paul K. about some things to watch for. I will refer to this "list" during the procedure. For this post I will add responses below the itemized list.
0.0. ya gona find that that puller isn`t thin enough to pull the carrier bearings if ya are &
0.1. I hope you are replacing all the bearings .
As it turns out (see previous post) I am replacing the ring and pinions as well; thus I will not be pulling any carrier bearings; however, I procured a large-bearing puller from HF that would work.
- are ya doing a crush sleeve or solid.? This comment opens a can of worms. I had the same response as Bronco... did on the youtube video...there was no sleeve in this pullout. The OEM pinion has a shoulder behind the fwd bearing and a couple of washers were located there. There was another under the rear bearing race. The new 4.56 gears require a spacer. I am using a solid spacer ($40). Apparently, all aftermarket R&Ps use 27 spline and are shaped liked this. I will be buying a new pinion flange (another $36...cha ching).
- ps not sure the step drill will have enough shoulder depth to make a straight hole for the air line bulkhead fitting. I think this is why he was having trouble tapping the hole. I will use the old-school method and just drill the f*** hole...
- what are ya gona use the chisels for ? They weren't chisels but pry bars. I am using them all of the time...a lot better than screwdrivers.
- need to fab a spanner to fit the carrier bearing nuts . Or buy one...?
- plenty never seize strong holder to mount third. I am not sure what this is.
- if ya go crush sleeve need inch lb torque wrench up to 50 & half of LLK to pull the sleeve in to proper depth. NA
- get a couple hard nuts that fit the pinion don`t want to use the new one. I will buy new pinion nuts but I think this comment refers to (6) ...
- red thread lock ...where?
- lots n lots cleaner n rags non lint. No s***!
- matching paste & I have no idea wtf this refers to...
- lots n lots of patients . This I have in spades!
- keep us up dated take some pics...I have had minimal tech response thus far...
- well all can sat is good luck didn`t see a single HB tool
- way tooooo loose on the bearings if he runs anything past std tires puts in in a bind will be replacing R&P if not carrier as well ... please elaborate?...I will find available Toyota documentation...help here is greatly appreciated.
- no lube on assm didn`t check his pattern if he leaves the air line where it is will smash it when he puts it in the housing TG he has a rear cover so can watch it. ...A major concern of mine as well...he probably plans to smash it as being better than the ring gear cutting it...LOL
- never ever seen bearing caps n nuts installed that way guess it can work. ..I will follow ARBs instructions and any available documentation. There is some expert advice available on line.
- ARB & TJM both like 30 minutes of air held with no additional supply .an air locker that leaks sucks big time on the trail. ...I was going for 24 hours?
- ya don`t have a shop compressor in your rig ...I may be expecting too much and relax to 30 minutes...LOL
- over all he covers the basics. ...Not really; with the parts in my hands, I have questions he didn't answer or even address.
- guess that is why ya see a lot or R&P replacement after done under a tree & a six pack R too. and ...I can't guarantee no six pack...lol...but I like consistent correct work.
- yes Tim want to see a far superior & pro job that dim vids
...I will do it like it flies, with hundreds of lives on the line...can't help it...
