I can't thank you enough for this video! I've seen all you can imagine for the 4wd, but this is seriously the most straightforward 2wd version I've ever seen.
Thanks man…gonna replace all u joints in front propeller shaft, and rear driveshaft. Hopefully all goes well the first time. 18 year old in highschool is getting deeper in the car stuffs 😂
Yep. Should be very similar. I believe the only difference in the rear shaft is that there is not a slip yoke at the transfer case, but bolted in via the universal joint.
Trying to determine if I have and issue with my driveshaft, are there any noticeable symptoms to do with acceleration/deceleration and braking? feel a bit of vibration when accelerating and decelerating and braking feels a little uneven when coming to a stop. Had new calipers and rotors installed but kinda feels like a warped rotor or something, possibly related to the driveshaft maybe?
I think that's more wheel bearing, cv axle, or warped rotor. My drive shaft made clunks shifting from drive to reverse and vibrated the truck at 50+ mph
You guys never watched my Dad do it, there is a vise right there no need for that hammer to pound it back in :), I am a little worried about getting the old one out, that looks like it takes lots of hammer !...and my 07 had OG zerts in the center of the joint and you can imagine, they are really really hard to access
If my vise opened up that wide I would have used it! You can always cut the old ones out if need be. I also feel like I need to clarify, there ARE multiple ways to do this job. This video was made to show you that you don’t need professional quality tools to do it. If you don’t feel comfortable you can always pay someone else to do the job for you…but there’s a chance they will install them the same way I did. For what it’s worth I did this job about 1 year and 10,000 miles ago. I still have the 4Runner and it’s still totally fine. Your 07 must have been a 4wd or had the joints replaced at some point.
It is possible if you’re parked on a hill, facing upward. I was on a very slightly sloped driveway facing up. It’s usually an irrelevant amount that leaks out.
@SignMeUpDesigns so u less they are actually broken there's no need to replace just grease regardless of miles?. Mine is a 2004 with 255k miles and a shop quoted me to replace even though I have no noises
U joints are certainly wear items and will eventually need replacement. If I were you I would start with greasing them. At your mileage they are likely due to be replaced, but giving them new grease could extend the life for sure. If you grab the driveshaft and try to move it, it should be tight with no play. If there’s any play it’s time for replacement.
The grease is put before riding in a small quantity so that It runs smoothly, clearly you put grease on it after the blows. That is not a technical installation.

Needed to replace my driveshaft, your video helped

I love it! No doubt you’ll get it figured out. 🤙🏻
I’m hoping this is more or less the same for the 4WD model? My front prop shaft blew up last Saturday lol

VERY INFORMATIVE. I just replaced my u-Joints today after only watching this video.

Is it possible that a lot more trans fluid could leak out than what leaked out from yours?

1:24 😂😂😂
🤷♂️
How many hours is this job?
Not sure what the labor book time would be, but it would take someone like me about 1-2 hours.
What's the difference when doing a 4x4 vrs this??
The 4x4 is similar to replace. The main difference is that the 4x4 models came with serviceable grease fittings while the 2wd did not.

Would this work for a 4wd?
Yes same method, but the 4wd has grease fittings from the factory. I would try to grease them before replacing them.
@@SignMeUpDesignsI did and it still clunks 🙄
Could be time for replacement unfortunately.
Existen herramientas para el montaje, a golpes haces daño y la durabilidad disminuye al 50% tampoco introdujo grasa antes de instalar
Esta es la herramienta correcta .
This is incorrect information. And clearly you didn’t watch the video until the end. I certainly greased the joints.
If you hit it, the useful life of the idlers will decrease enormously
The grease is put before riding in a small quantity so that It runs smoothly, clearly you put grease on it after the blows. That is not a technical installation.
having so many tools, using a hammer and hitting is not the correct way. prehistory method
Pretty sure 2WD 3rd Gen 4Runner also didn’t have grease fittings.
Possibly. I haven’t been under one in a while so I can’t say personally, but maybe someone else can chime in.
What a beard
My man!
@@SignMeUpDesigns We could have shot a video of changing out a 07 radiator this past weekend!
