Thank you for watching!
For all the haters this man is trying and is actually working on a 4X4 Tacoma. There are lots of 2WD vids out there but not many 4X4. Why cause they’re not as common and a challenge to work on. We’ll done and inspirational brother.
I thought that it was cool to see someone have the same struggles as I usually do when working on my truck. Unlike the normal videos where everything goes smoothly. Thank you for the video.
Hey Todd, that you so much for taking the time to watch and comment!
Yeah, I hate it also when I watch a video and it looks so easy then I try it out and it turns out to be way harder.
Aloha and take care
I have the same type set up 98 Tacoma 3.4 4x4 5 speed and my ball joints came apart and tore my axle out of case and rolled my 31inch tire under my passenger side door and fender ! This video just helped me tremendously on how to remove the other half of axle
What's great are the struggles that come with this job are explained. I'm about to undertake the same job on my '96 Tacoma 4x4 with 303,000 miles on it, but on the driver's side (split two part boot, and new noises when turning). The pain in the ass elements are why a mechanic charges so much. This will be the first time I do it, so his struggles and explanation are appreciated. I want to know how my great old truck is put together, so I'm doing the job myself. THANKS for the vid.
I watched 3 videos you are the first one to even mention cones holding lockout housing or snap ring
Awesome video bud, thanks for posting it was a huge help. The guy posting on here telling you to “put the wrench down and walk away” has probably never picked one up himself.

Thanks for the video. I had taken the hub off before but now i need to install inner boot. Good camera angles.
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you!!!! Everyone else has a 2wd or 4Runner which are completely different
Replaced mine yesterday and noticed a hole in the new boot 🙄 had to put it on and just order another. Needed the old yota it’s all I got to drive at the moment 😝
Yesss exactly what I was looking for got an 03 tacoma with manual hubs
I'm going to upvote just because I respect that you have manual hubs and it requires that much more work, sheesh! Feeling pretty good about doing both sides of mine soon, but I have auto hubs so it's just a 35mm socket to free that end. Mahalo
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!

Great video
About to take this on with my 98 Tacoma 4x4 but also replacing the struts and ball joints. I’m assuming just removing that strut right after losing the cv will reduce some time
Another thought for everyone:
Disconnect the sway links on both sides, and you swing the bar itself out of the way. It may not work for every vehicle, but there's more room to wiggle.
Thanks 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🫡🫡🫡
2 hours and im still working on those cone washers…
Great video close up's perfect lighting and focus thank you. What was it that fell out of the diff when you pulled out the axle? I have the same 97 4x4 2.7 with those manual locker like yours, mine is at 185k. I'm going to be doing the same so thank you for this video.
Question, why didn't it have a axle nut?
Thumb's up!
I'll revisit this vid if I ever have to replace the CV's in my truck.
Thanks man!
My 98 Tacoma trd doesnt have locking hubs
What an ordeal! I hope putting the new one in went well.
Nice work, much appreciated
Never saw a 1st gen Taco hub look like this one. All other videso show a diferent style hub and they pull the CV out from the outside, and no need to undo shock or compress spring? They just loosen/unbolt tierods. This hub looks like it is from a Land crusier?
Tacoma. I’m not a pro. Take it with a grain of salt.
at 6:52, was the jack in the way? removing the jack would lower the arm creating room to remove the CV? JW?
You don't have to unbolt the shock you have to unbolt the torsion bar link is a lot easier and as might as well replace it too since those are worned out most of the time
Lower ball joints wore out too
are those steel toe???
Thanks for sharing
thx for teaching me to cook rice
Thanks for checking out my videos and commenting!
Aloha and take care
Do u have to put the truck in neutral when replacing the cv axle? Someone told us we had to. Right now we have it in park and have blocks in back for safety. While we have it jacked up.
Elvia Perez sorry for the late reply no I didn't put it in neutral I left it in park aloha
@iworkforbudlight - thank you. Ya we just left it in park lol. My dad and I had a very difficult time getting those parts out. I looked on here and with the help from your video we managed. It really helped us out . Thank you again. I appreciate you taking time out of your day to get back to me. Oh and we did finish it already Thanks👍
Elvia Perez You are awesome. Aloha
Hello i have the same truck anda i was replacing the cv joints and a i lost the washer somebody knows how can i find it? min 4.14
Sorry to hear it got lost. What I would personally do is head down to a Toyota Dealership with your Vin# ask them to pull up a diagram and see if they can order it. If the part is not available ask for the part number and check online. I hope this helps.
Use a Magnet
would of dropped right out if the jack wasn't under the power control arm
also, should have rebooted the old shaft and kept using it. looks like your only failure was the boot.
Robert Pierce if already have it out why not just put the new one in
Cone washers
The instructor in me is forcing me to point out something serious in the video:
Flip-flops? C'mon man.
Don't bother telling me I'm a pedant with a stick up my ass. I already know it's there.
Otherwise, it's a fantastic video, and it helped me a great deal.
I'm cvjoint Repair in Iran
Ok marine
cone washer
98 doesn't come with lock, I believe that's 94 down.
95 and down do not have struts
Except that there is no such thing as a 94 Tacoma. They started with a 95.5 year and you could have most certainly ordered a 98 with manual hubs. Also neither the first gen Tacoma 95.5-04 or the sixth gen Pickup 89-95 use struts in their suspension system. The 89-95 use a torsion bar IFS and the Tacos use coil spring IFS.
Manual hubs for the tacoma went all the way up to 2001. Im converting my 2002 prerunner to 4x4 and using manual hubs and shafts.
Yes it does
they do. I own a 98 tacoma 4x4 with manual locking hubs whith manual transmission. dont know if the automatic transmission come with manual hubs or not.
I bring the unholy truth. Believe me or perish in flames for all eternity.
you're dangerous and going to break all kinds of stuff and not even know it.
put the wrench down and walk away slowly.
you're making all kinds of "never do this!" mistakes
Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. First clue was the flip flops, I see that and I just go to the next vid. Same goes for the four wheeling videos, dude gets stuck in some steep rocky terrain and exits his 4 wheeler in flip flops, I'm GONE
Scorpio Taurus mate you need to visit Australia that’s a standard (and they’re thongs 👍🏽)
It’s call learning, know one was born knowing to do things you learn, that’s why now in America kids this days are the way there are cause they think like you
Stop pretending you know what your doing. Have a go yourself, but just don't do a video.
