Also any special tools needed. Thanks.....B Re: front axle rebuild [Re: 4runnermedic] #888890 06/04/08 03:36 AM Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 15,887 Fairbanks, Alaska kewlynx Toyota & Classifieds Moderator http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/maintenance/front_end/ Tools listed. Your other factors are #1- your rust factor. PB Blaster from NAPA is your friend; so is antiseize compound for reassembly #2- If you opt to get your rotors turned while you have it torn down; turn time at the machine shop is a factor. If I can do it, so can you! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> I give it a full afternoon, take my time, clean stuff up as I go. Toss on a crockpot and have a couple sandwiches made with the baggies around 'em. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

Have LOTS AND LOTS of paper towels for cleanup. Don't throw ANY parts away until you have it all back together.
