rubenr.8974, I totally agree, this is the best DIY RU-vidr video that I've ever seen, and I've see a LOT. This guy knows what he's doing, and knows how to set the cam for explanation. Brilliant instruction, and I'm a teacher, so I know instruction. I replaced two u-joints and carrier bearing yesterday. Now, no vibration at all. Thank you adv.4x4 for saving me $$$.
Older video, but so thankful you made it! Thanks so much for the detailed walk-through. Having never delta with u-joints or a carrier bearing, your video made a daunting task seem much more doable. Blessings!
I RARELY ever ever comment on a video. But this was incredibly detailed, informative, well photographed, just so well done. Thank you so much! A shop here tried to charge me $2k for my carrier bearing(they said the entire driveshaft had to be replaced because the carrier bearing can’t be removed) and wheel hub bearing. Definitely will be trying to handle this myself thanks to your tutorial! Going from $2k to a couple hundred, thank you sir
@@daveweber9737 I'm finding $300-400 for an entire driveshaft w/ new u-bolts & Carrier Bearing that bolts right up, seems like the best was to go.. idk
This is the best DIY RU-vidr video that I've ever seen, and I've see a LOT. This guy knows what he's doing, and knows how to set the cam for explanation. Brilliant instruction, and I'm a 61 year old teacher, so I know instruction. I replaced two u-joints and carrier bearing yesterday. Now, no vibration at all. Thank you adv.4x4 for saving me $$$. Keep them coming, since I have a 2012 Taco with 215000 miles, where thing start to go bad. Cheers!
Thanks for posting this video. After reading through my FSM I thought this was a task that I would have to pay someone else to do for me, but your explanation from start to finish makes it look like I might be able to do this job myself. Thanks again!
Awesome! Thanks for your descriptive and informative video. I’ll be doing this task on my son’s 08 Tacoma while he’s away on deployment 🇺🇸 Before he left, he was noticing extreme vibration at higher highway speeds. Once repaired, a test drive will be mandatory at a nearby 4x4 trail 😎
Thank you sir! Hope all goes smoothly for you. Be sure to have a u joint on hand for the repair as well. A vibration at highway speed from the driveline could also be that.
Just now finished replacing bearing and U-joints on my Tacoma. My truck must be an earlier version as the tabs on the bearing do go into the cross member. The bearing that came out did not have the tabs. Regardless, this is by far the best, most detailed, step-by-step method to getting this job done. Well done and thank you!
One of the better videos of a carrier bearing replacement! One thing I would add is to smack the driveshaft by the u joint after installing the u joint to release the tension on the part due to pressing in the joint to the shaft. Ypu are a really good technician, keep up the great work.
Thank you sir I appreciate it! It’s been a Few years since I made the video. But If I remember right I covered that in this? I could be wrong. But that’s standard procedure for me! Thanks for watching!
@@Adv4x4 I just watched video again and you tapped the cir clips in , not really smacking the shaft housing, but are a better mechanic than I will ever be, THX, Ed
I'm a big fan of double wrenches for extra simple leverage. You are the first mechanic I've seen employ the trick. I'm sure that more do. Thanks for the vid.
Thanks for all of the details, even down to the torque specs. Extremely helpful. And I'm glad I'm not the only one that had to tap in the second clip for the U-joint when re-installing. That sucker just would not get in there
I wish I had found your site a long time ago. I needed to replace a carrier bearing on my Toyota Tacoma. What a help you were. Thanks for putting this info on the website.
Good job, I just ordered my carrier bearing, I will be doing this next weekend. I have access to a 60 ton press but it is not at the same location. I liked the way you removed the u joint caps and the carrier bearing (controlled taps), without beating them up too much. I 'am going to try this first to save some time. Thanks, Chris
Thanks Chris! Just another tip, Although possible without a bench vice it is definitely the way to do it. Esp to get the carrier bearing itself off. Something I should have mentioned in the video was to not tighten the vice excessively on the driveshaft to avoid denting or damaging it. Good luck with your install and if you have any questions or need advice feel free to DM me on Instagram or Facebook you can find me on there @jbrochu_ I'll do my best to help!
@@Adv4x4 A 3 jaw puller works well to get the yoke off and the bearing as well. Unfortunately, where I live in Northern Michigan, parts dont slide off with a few taps of a deadblow like they do in places that don't liberally salt the roads. ;)
Well done! Very informative. Never done one but after watching that I’m confident I can do one. Been around the shop all my life and done my own stuff. As much as I can anyway.
Great video! I need to do this on my 2004 Tacoma, so I'm assuming it will be very similar. I was very intimidated by the u-joint removal/replacement part of this, but you did a great job explaining that, and I think I can tackle that now. One thing that may be an issue for me on the replacement carrier bearing (already en route to my house) is that part that sticks up on each side of the top. I have a carrier bearing drop (spacers) installed currently (to help w/ vibes after lifting the truck), and it looks like those "ledges" slide over that bracket that the bearing screws into. Thank you for taking the time to film this!
Hey no problem! With a 2004 Tacoma I don’t believe you have to even take apart the ujoint itself. I think it’s a double Cardan joint with a flange that unbolts giving you access to the large but you need to remove to slide the flange off and remove carrier bearing itself
@@Adv4x4 yep, I just looked, and you're absolutely right! That should make it even easier. I've had some random, violent shaking under the floorboard (no specific speeds but recently happened while on the interstate), and I'm hoping this solves the problem. There isn't a ton of play in the carrier bearing, but it can't hurt to install a new one anyway.
Just finished changing the carrier bearing on my 07 4x4 taco!! This vid pretty much did it for me, step by step so easy my 11 year old Son is doing the next one!! Thanks Brother !!
Thnx for making this. Looks pretty easy as far as car maintenance goes. Will order the part from the dealer though as ive read a few reviews of these dorman parts not lasting.
Appreciate the feedback! I have a lot of other diy videos on the channel as well. I’ll be constantly adding them as my truck needs them 👍🏼 maybe throw in some more gear review and camping as well.
Hey man, im so confused. When you took that nut off for the center yoke, before removing the center support bearing. It just came right off!! Mine is just spinning, i broke it free by hand
Great video. Only comment I have is when you said make sure the prongs face the rear of the vehicle and then yours were pointed to the front as you described the front of the shaft right before that statement. Was that a mistake or intentional?
@@Adv4x4 - I just went under my truck and checked the carrier bearing and it’s shot. The rest of the u-joints are tight though. I also have a bit of a lift with 35’s. I wonder if I should get that drop for the CB.
Thanks my friend for your helpful video. Very good video with parts , all the repair steps and infotmation , presented clearly. Your frriend from P.Rico, Edwin
I have a 2005 tacoma with a 2.5in lift. I had my center bearing replaced 3 weeks ago. Well the mounting bolts broke off and now the drive shaft is hanging down..... The mechanic who did the job claims its the bind from leaf springs that caused the bolts to break.... Any idea what happened?????0. I never hit anything and I dont off road hard at all...Thanks
I bought a a rebuilt drive shaft. Man said it was balanced. So I have no preexisting marks to mount it by. The man at the drive shaft place said they were not needed. He said a driveshaft is balanced off the truck and that marking it was not required. I put it on my truck and it does not vibrate.
Have you done this replacement on a 2WD taco? Mine doesn’t have the bolted flange to the xfer case, it just slides in/out. I’m nervous about pulling it all the way out in case there is some “key” to it I need to be aware of. And it looks like I’ll have to at least top off trans fluid, any suggestion there? Thanks!
VERY WELL DONE! GOING OUTSIDE TO DO MY 2011 TACOMA . 3 JOINTS AND CARRIER BEARING..................TY, ALL OE PARTS , FROM ATLANTA SOUTH PARTS TOYOTA 30 % OFF LIST , ON LINE ORDER ONLY .
Thank you for your video. A few nights ago as I was driving home from work on the Friday night going around 55 to 75 mph I fill my truck rumbling. What changes is that it’s the carrier bearing?
I would check your front wheel bearings. Without being there it’s hard to diagnose for you but they are very common and prevalent at speeds you mentioned 👍🏼
Personally like to work with things on a work bench instead of under the truck, especially while I was recording this. Can’t imagine disassembling the u joint under the truck if you are doing this on the ground and not on a lift.
Do you know the part number for that staked carrier bearing nut? Ive got to replace my CB again and want to get a new one. Cant find the number anywhere
The prongs need to be pointing to the back or just on the back side? B/c they look like they are actually pointing to the front. Not trying to be critical, just dont want to make any mistakes.
If you are doing this same job for a Tundra, there will be a washer between the bearing and the yoke. At least for a 2013 Tundra TRD with a 3 piece axle.
Good vid. Any chance of knocking the drive shaft out of balance when ur banging on the yoke to get the U joint caps off? I used a ball joint press for the U joint, and puller for the yoke/bearing when I replaced mine, but banging them out seems easier😊.
As many of them as I’ve done like this I haven’t had any problems so I’d be willing to say you won’t have any issues! Now if you clamp the drive shaft too tight in the vice and dent it you will have vibration issues for sure. Either way works I prefer the hammer and socket method it’s fun, quick, and easy instead of messing with the press kits!
Hello ADV4X4 Is there any specific Ujoint parts that you were using? Would the Dana 5-1330-1X U-Joint KIT (Premium SPL 1330) GREASEABLE can be use for 2 Gen Tacoma? Thank you.
Thank you for posting, this helped me with my 03' Tacoma. Question...I forgot to index the drive shaft before removing. How can I tell if I reinstalled incorrect? Will the vibration be obvious? The Weights on the drive shaft are still in tact.
Do you know the part number of the yoke that you have to slip off to get the carrier bearing off. I can’t find a part number for it and all the part stores want me to buy a whole driveshaft. Just trying to see if I can find another way. Any help would great thanks.
The worst part of this job is the dang needle bearings falling into the bottom of the cap when you install the cap. Aggravating it was. I'd keep adding more grease thinking it would hold them in place but it just takes one to fall off to screw up the whole operation.
is this Dorman part still going good 3+ years later? just curious.. i bot a genuine Yota OEM on one of the online dealer parts sale (40% off MSRP) ... it was still quite a bit over 100$ for the part
I will be doing an updated video I’m replacing my carrier bearing with an aftermarket solid unit! www.mitchmadeinc.com/product-page/toyota-center-support-bearing
I read in a tacoma forum that you first have to torque it to 134 ft lbs and then loosen it up and torque again to only 51 ft lbs. Is that information correct. Everything else in the videos is great very detailed. Thanks
I pulled the torque spec information from All Data which is a huge automotive database used by I’d imagine almost every auto repair shop and I just followed their instructions for that part. So it is correct to the best of my knowledge 👍🏼
Great video! Dorman parts are a little questionable for me, but if it works for you, can’t argue with that. I like using OEM Toyota parts as sometimes it’s the same price as aftermarket or cheaper. To each their own.
You will get a slight vibration on acceleration when you take off from a light! Or you can get under the truck and you can see how much slop it has. Mine was visibly bad as well. Drive line was sagging in the bushing 👍🏼
