Topic: Elocker help

[luvyota]

I just got a front axle with a Elocker and longs in it. I got the shafts out and all the bolts out of the 3rd but I can't get the 3rd out.  Is there any bolts behind the motor?  How many bolts hold it in?  And the 3rd has 5.29s and I am running 4 cyl 4.88s. Can I just switch my gears or the elockers different?

Thanks.

I did some looking on here and could only find elockers for sale

I know the e-locker gears are different - they use the same gears as the 3rd gen v6 trucks.

Ok thanks.

it helps to have the locker locked before removal

Ok I will try that. Do you know how many bolts hold it in cuz its not moving at all.

[toyotech]

11 bolts.

Make sure you remove the electric motor before pulling the e-locker too.

I got it out the guy I got it from had like a full tube of RTV on it and I don't think the housing was notched out Enough. The guy was right it had the 30 spline longs and 5.29s.    I just need to get the gears to match mine.

Make sure you remove the electric motor before pulling the e-locker too.

I did not take it off would that helped it come off? I had to pry it all the way out with two People  holding the housing

If I remember right, yeah - only because the motor slides over the 2 long studs.  Without the motor, you would have had more clearance to wriggle it around.

[luvyota [OP]]

That probably  would of helped Because  that is what was making it so hard is to get it to come off the two long studs

[BUDDERS]

Either that or you could have pulled the motor, then pulled the studs out, then pulled the 3rd member......
