2005 Toyota 4Runner Rear Differential Rebuild – Bearing Replacement

2005 Toyota 4Runner Rear Differential Rebuild – Bearing Replacement

Rebuilding the rear differential in a 4th gen 4runner. This 2005 Toyota 4Runner Sport is a 2 wheel drive but the 4×4 version should be the same. I show how I rebuild Toyota rear differentials using specialized tools. this can be done without the tools I use but takes longer. The Toyota Tacoma should have the same 3rd member unless it has the E-locker option.

you can use dry ice or just put the rings in a freezer

Hate those damn crush sleeves horrible design everything should come with a solid spacer from factory

Would this be a similar process for a 1994 Toyota Pickup 2.4L 4 x 4?

Dominik B. says:

hey, my outer bearing ring is still moveable after tightening the screws of the bearing caps. is this normal or should this clamp the bearing ring in place?

Definitely a job I'll pay a shop to do – I'd have to buy more tools to do this than it would cost me to pay someone to do the job!

I rebuilt my toyota 7.5 and installed a locker back when i was in community college 2015 automotive service technology. I forgot how i did it. This video refreshed my memory. I want to change my ring and pinion gears, can i reuse the bearings that i replaced years ago? Do i need new crush sleeve and shims?

My 2005 Toyota 4runner was making a loud noise I found out it was 2 of the gears that broke in it

This vehicle looks like it lived it's life in the desert…like brand new underneath!
I just have to replace that front pinion oil seal.
Am I going to be able to get that front pinion off, w/out complete disassembly? (after removing the castle nut)

CHECKING OUT GypsyMike says:

Im glad i found your video, my buddies been wrenching on heavy equipment, semis, dump trucks, trucks, cars, boats for 40 years or more. I told him i needed my differential bearings replaced and asked if he had the right tools to do it. He asked what tools? I said well to set the pre tension, the paste to check gear spacing the stuff i saw guys using on utube videos. He just laughed at me, said if i wasn't changing gears he didn't need the high dollar crap. He said you do it by feel if you know what your doing lol. Watched your video and i feel better about having him do it now.
