Toyota's Special tool

[IBCRUSN]

I am looking for someone who has a Toyota SST (super special tool....lol) for the lock nut on the full floating rear axle. I would like to rent/borrow the tool if possible.

I have heard of people using a drift but I'd rather use the correct tool. That's one thing working on aircraft has instilled in me is to use the correct tool so as not to damage critical parts.

Thanks

Kris

I think it would be cheaper just to buy the damn thing from CDan than pay for the shipping of it back and forth to tha chump willing to lend it to you.

If the tool wasn't $40+ I would. I can't see spending the dough for a one time use. And if by some odd chance the rear end breaks in the bush it'll be removed by whatever I have available.

about $25 from CTC through your local NAPA, if you keep you truck long enough, it won't be a one time use

IB,
I made one up and you can borrow it (I'm in NJ), but I can't loan it out till after CMCC which is next week. PM me afterwards if you still need it. Seriously though, this is something you should have, whether you buy it or make it.

Kris,

Search the archives for pictures of several fabricated tools. Hopefully the links are working or they were external links that survived the forum SW change.

IB, if you use one of Junk's tools, you engine will explode and your transmission will fail within 24hrs. Not a good idea!

If you were in Arizona you could borrow my tool. It was around $50 at NAPA. You can probably find it on the web cheaper.

If you are at all familiar with packing bearings, I think that you could do a very adequate job using a drift or improvised wrench. If you are a stickler for following the precise steps listed in the FSM--or if you have no idea how tight a wheel bearing should be--then you need the tool so you can use a torque wrench.

Duck,

What's the CTC tool P/N? I live in a small town and guarantee they'll have no clue what I am looking for with just CTC. Thanks!
