I like the use of the toothpicks.

They worked like a charm, Necessity is the mother of invention

@NLXTACY .... Do you make a block off plate for these yet? Just sayin' ...

Wait...you mean to put in place while you take your sweet pimp ass time rebuilding the locker?

No, just a key chain so you have a constant reminder to rebuild them in your pocket at all times.

If someone runs into a non-rebuildable locker motor, there's a fairly good deal for a front Aisin/Toyota motor on Rockauto, $279 plus shipping.

Recently ordered a "Private label white box --- closeout" front locker motor from Rockauto, $239+ $8 shipping. Turns out it was a new Toyota part with the blue Toyota label removed (still some glue residue on the motor case) and a smaller oval blue-silver AISIN sticker put where the original Toyota label had been, same as what they do with the Toyota/Aisin water pumps.

Initially while looking at the photos of the part on Rockauto I was concerned it might be some chyna or rebuilt part, nope, brand new Japan/Aisin part. Came in a brown shipping box, wrapped in bubble wrap with the original Japan anti-corrosion paper wrapped around it.

Unfortunately I checked the price again a few minutes after ordering one and it jumped to $279, but still a good deal for an AISIN front locker motor. The rear AISIN locker motors are currently $410 on Rockauto.
FWIW.

Currently rebuilding my front:

 

[landtank]

Yeah he did but he said he doesn't do it anymore hopefully I can find somebody who will do it I think I can do it it's just having the time to do it would be my biggest issue

not promissing anything, but I retire in 3 years and my wife might inspire me to start it again.

Yes ... exactly this for my pimp ass. As an added bonus, I could carry them with me when wheeling for the occasional instance of them getting stuck in the locked position (not sure how rare/common this is). Pop the lockers out, put in the blanks, drive home and take my pimp ass time figuring things out.

 

[Cass007]

Anyone having issues with the plastic plugs cracking when removing the lockers? It's a PITA getting the truck in the garage and it's currently 10-28*F outside and I'm concerned the plug will break in the cold.

Ordering the gasket kit now from Joey. His site is so dangerous with "well maybe I need that too" stuff.

Welp...I’m on it!

They have a name for your lost of self control, it's called supporting a great Mud vendor, or better known as capitalism.

Capitalism and loyalty aren’t mutually inclusive

Got the rebuild kit from @NLXTACY and it’s back in business as a spare.... unless someone is in dying need of a front locker. If so, pm me.

 

[Swbkrn2003]

Do those instructions come with the kit or is that from the FSM?!

 

[logicbyondreaso]

FSM.

 

[Swbkrn2003]

Okay, got me one of those!

 

[Rwhat]

The FSM only shows removal off the axle. The actuators are a replacement item. Not intended to be rebuilt, so the FSM doesn’t cover overhauling it.

 

[logicbyondreaso]

Correct. Those instructions are only to properly sync the locker motor to actuator. I used it to bench test rotation of the locker motor. It also helped get the body grease in tight places.
