Great job, this should fix it!

@lexus_offroad_adventures Год назад

Works so nice now 🙏

Just did this 5 days ago and thanks to your previous video I had a great idea of what to do! I was working on it in my friends garage and I almost didn't change out that inner seal, but my buddy was like, well you're in there, you might as well. It's not like you don't have the replacement with you. I'm glad I did because although it looked fine and had a little give to the rubber (unlike the outer o-ring), when I took it out, it disintegrated just like yours haha. I would have had to go back and do it again if it weren't for his wisdom

Yep! Your friend was totally right! 👏

@Grabthars_Hammer Год назад

Hoping I can get a similar result. Ordered the part and I'll start wrenching soon!

How it go?

Here's the video I found most helpful to perform the procedure as I described below: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-92WwOsLc39E.html. If you go to 9 minutes in, you'll see him describe why he doesn't like to remove the actuator as you (and many others) did it.

I definitely get the concern, and Timmy is a great mechanic, but I have yet to have a single issue. If I ever experience any adverse effects from this, like the gears being off timing, I’ll definitely report on it. Like I showed, the locker engages and disengages instantaneously for me now. Maybe I’m just lucky, but I doubt it

@sgoldste02 Год назад

Just did this job a couple of weeks ago. Don't be surprised if your actuator fills with transfer case oil AGAIN. From my research, the best way to do this job is to actually disassemble the actuator by removing the cover and gears. This makes it easy to remove the actuator, replace the shaft seal, and then slide the actuator case back into position without all the wiggling and forcing that likely damaged your new seal again. With research on RU-vid, you can learn how to reposition the gears correctly during re-assembly so that the actuator timing is correct. Then you'll really know that the new shaft seal wasn't damaged during installation. Sorry for the disappointing prediction. Good luck!

@lexus_offroad_adventures Год назад

I’d honestly be very surprised if it fills back with oil. We shall see. I am putting almost zero actual force into the actuator when im twisting it into place, so it is not likely to damage the relatively robust feeling seal. But we’ll see and I’ll report any issues on the channel if I experience any.

Its not about damaging the seal, its that metal ring, it pops out of the seal sometimes as you push it in.@@lexus_offroad_adventures

@lexus_offroad_adventures 9 месяцев назад

@@hanial-kiwi503 not in my experience. Been performing perfectly ever since this video. Instant center locker engagement, totally dry. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe it just comes down to finesse or luck or something idk lol

@jerryray808 6 месяцев назад

any easier on a lift? What is different on 03 4runner?

@MrMarcusHen 9 месяцев назад

What did you do with the spring you found at 5:43? My spring was lodged in the old seal. Thanks for the video.

@lexus_offroad_adventures 9 месяцев назад

It’s part of the seal, so if you’re replacing it, throw the old one out.

@warrenlowe676 6 месяцев назад

Tough call between this and Timmy’s method. Unfortunately I have this problem in my 04’… thankfully it’s a DIY I’m ready to tackle. Have you seen many use this method and everything is chill? How many problems have been reported?

@lexus_offroad_adventures 6 месяцев назад

I’ve only ever heard good things from people. Mine works perfectly. I get Timmy may be doing it “the right way”, but I got this method from a Lexus master tech who posted this on a forum 15 years ago as a way to beat warranty time. I’d say this method is so easy, it’s worth a try. If you have issues with the gears or timing, etc. it shouldn’t be a big problem to take the actuator back out and try the other way.
