First, let me say, thank you for presenting a video on this subject. I'm sure it has helped many novice mechanics. However, I see you have some very intelligent viewers and commenters. I realize most people don't own pneumatic lifts, but if you can, rent a bay or something, this job should really only be performed as it was designed, a lift. With a lift you will have the space required to use proper tools such as breaker bars and torch meters. Also, always replace the crush washers with new ones and torch to standard. Finally, be sure to only use the weight oils prescribed in the owner's manual. Take care now and keep up the good work. This is a great forum to learn new things from others, at no cost! Take care. :)
nice. clear concise instructions that'll help a beginner like me learn more on doing my own maintenance. just got my first taco a couple days ago ( 2000 with 275k on the ticker)... planning on doing a bunch of stuff like this, I'll definitely be checking out your other videos!
Just purchased my first truck, a 2nd gen Tacoma. Very helpful video for someone new to owning a four wheel drive truck. Thanks and will sub and check out your other content. Cheers!

Breaker bar and 6-point socket are the only way to go!

Always use a torque wrench and set the exact torque on each bolt
What’s the importance of that?
Awesome!

how often r u supposed to change transfer case fluid?
Every 30,000 miles or 15,000 miles under heavy towing. Using your 4 wheel drive more.
Every time you said god damn, it comes loose...!! Lol
Where is the transmission fluid video?
What no new crush washer?
What if I cannot find the transfer case on my 2017 2wd Tacoma? Do 2wd vehicles have a transfer case?
2WD does not have a transfer case. Only 4WD (transfers power from 2WD to 4WD)
If you don't know that, you should just put the wrench down and carefully step away.
