Torque Specs? Need to reboot CV boot (1 Viewer)

[Mlachica]

I have a torn boot on our gx470 daily driver. I've never done a cv before but it looks simple enough. However, I'm a stickler for using fsm torque specs. Anybody have these off hand? any any others i would need...

the two bolts at the bottom of the control arm
caliper bolts
sway bar
axle nut

Any others I may need? I'm pretty mechanically inclined (had an 80 and serviced those axles a few times as well as installed the trd supercharger among other maintenance items). I'm kinda wingin' this one, I should be able to figure it out as i go.

should I be using pfran's boot clamps? I don't have special tools or know if it's needed to tighten oem boot clamps...

Thanks in advance!

non-KDSS sway bar end links - 52 ft/lbs
axle nut - I do not have, sorry.

You don't have to take off your caliper to remove a CV. Just do the CV nut, the lower spindle nuts (forward and rear), and remove the sway and tie rod. Swing the whole thing to the side and remove the CV.

In that case, check out the PDF here: Prado 120/150 & 4Runner N280 - KDSS Instructions

KDSS sway bar bracket - 44 ft/lbs
KDSS sway bar end link bracket- 55 ft/lbs

By the way, I found all the above information from Factory Service Manuals on the Technical Information System (TIS) here: https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInf...urce_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechinfo.toyota.com%2F

It's $15.00 for a 2-day subscription, all the information can be saved as a PDF. There are over 500 documents, so it takes a minute, but its worth it IMO.
