Thanks for the help, I just replaced my gasket using this video. Tip: if you take the wheels off, it's actually really easy to line up the bolts on the backing plate, and you don't need a friend's help. As you slide the axle in, the splines on it will make contact with the diff about 3/8" before the bolts go into the ends of the diff housing. So after the axle splines mate with the diff, you can still spin the backing plate into position to mate up the bolts with their holes.
I'm going to try and do this on my Hiace, I thought I had to take the propeller shaft out but this video shows that it's way easier than that. I reckon I've got no gear oil left inside mine. I watched a crazy russian guy run an old sedan dry with one wheel blocked and one off the ground and it took a beating before it welded itself together. Hopefully not too much damage inside. Thanks for the video
@@TRAV30387 yeah true, might just flush it out... reckon i could use diesel to flush? then fill with cheap oil, do a couple hundred Km's then empty and fill with good oil? also is your diff LSD from factory? mine is a 2002 kzn165r sr5, doesnt matter for flushing but just wondering and if yours is lsd what do you think of its locking ability? i have mechanical front lokka and am considering locking the rear aswell
@@TRAV30387 havent checked yet but i reckon, fresh/muddy deep puddles up to the sidesteps, maybe a touch over, no diff wine or issues but considering checking n flushing just to be safe
Cheers for the vid bro! 🤙 Just a quick question when dropping the tail shaft , can you you just bolt it up again ? Or does it have to line back up the way it come off.
2:40. No your breather isn't blocked. It's a one-way valve. When you block the filler plug it creates a vacuum. So of course no air can enter the breather. Think about it.

Mint video, everyone else’s videos make this look like a massive job, cheers for simplifying it
Cheers mate its not a hard job i just wanted to make it simple.
Trav, exactly what I needed! Thanks mate and greetings from Brisbane!
No mate glad to help
Cheers for the video. I’ve got to do the same job on a Prado.
Good video. Would be helpful for some people to show you putting the driveshaft back on to the diff.
The tunes are cranking too👍👌🇦🇺
Great diy job mate
Cheers for this Trev, I've been thinkin of opening my diff to inspect and replace oil cos I went through a few water holes (no breathers)
No worries you can drop the oil that should be enough flush it a fuew times

Hey yer mines an lsd id just fill it with oil and do repeat flushes till its clean have you had water go inside the diff?

Good idea remember oils cheep mechanical parts aren't
Cheers for the vid bro! 🤙

Eazy mate cheers just put it back up no lining requirements
Nice Job my friend🤜🤛

On the 2016 hilux the breather is closed by a tiny spring and a rubber disc, so mostly closed.
The breather closes under suction, and opens to relieve pressure.
I have e question for 2009 Toyota tacoma 4x4 is the same?
Id imagine it would b verry similar
Hey mate, what year is your Hilux? Would this be the same process for a 2011 KUN26? Thanks mate!
Its a 2000 model and yes basically the same principle
Du you remove yes one axel driver side my friend?
Removed both
What kind of the truck is that ❤
Toyota hilux mate
Good practice to change axle seals at the time to avoid leaks there mate.
Definitely if i had them at the time i would have changed them
Did this leak without the gasket goo? I did this shit 3 times and had clean as surfaces. Man i was annoyed
It leaked with the gasket but its fine now. I bet it did
Yes
$5.00? $18 to $40 here in NZ
Oyster 🤣
Hahaha
