Now look up the bearing numbers (I think they're different) and spend about $5 a bearing.........no-brainer is now changing the bearings yourself......(change the brushes while you're at it, I'm guessing $10)
Hey Gnarly,I just caught My first peek at the truck itself. The picture of the load leveler, In the back ground.I like it a lot. Clean white 1986 ext cab. Looks Good from what I have seen. Take good care of it your a lucky guy. There is something special about them extra cabs. I would love one as a daily driver. 3rz supercharged of coarse.You know I just might have made a decision on My next daily driver.
You might be a bit over concerned. I have brought several vehicles back from the dead. Many have been sitting longer than Your truck.
Take a look at Your tank, It very likely has a drain plug at the bottom. You could put a few gallons of fuel in then drain the tank and take a look.You might have to remove the skid plate (easy) to access the drain plug. Similar to this tank. http://www.justanswer.com/toyota/4rz8u-toyota-previa-reg-drain-plug-the-fuel-tank-seal.html
You may be able to clean it out in place.The easiest way is to get to the fuel pump is to lift the bed off the frame.........
Has anyone replaced the fuel pump without removing the bed?Gnarls.
It's just not that bad to drop the tank or remove the bed. I would get it loose and inspect it inside. It's probably not that bad in there but you won't know unless you look.
Drop the tank. After the skid plate is off, it's 6 bolts, 2 vent lines and a high pressure line. Honestly, I've done it so many times, it's easier to drop the tank to clean it than to try to do it while it's stationary on the truck.I've also removed and bolted my bed on about as many times. Drop the tank. Way easier plus you can roll media around inside of it if you need to clean it outSent from my LG-H830 using Tapatalk
Only Pump to buy is one from your Toyota dealer. The rest so so....There is a high pressure line connection at the fuel pump that I have had lots of trouble with over the years. Be very carefull with the steelline side of that connection. I prefer to remove the bed Because of this line and the lack of space to work with. The Nut that tightens the flare has a tendency to not want to spin on the line and the line will start to twist. This line runs from the tank to the engine. No body wants to replace that line. I have no experience with the aftermarket brand of fuel tanks but suspect they will not compare to the Toyota quality. (quality of steel, thickness of the steel, corrosion protection)
I thought you used the Marlin method of putting a bolt thru the mount..........
