Rear axle....The only problem I have ran into on the rear getting everything apart was one of the pins that go to the brake lever was stuck into place and I couldn't get it out, so I had to disconnect the e brake cable at the lever near the center of the housing to get the axle out enough to pull the third. Upon third member disassembly, I found all the bearings to be in good condition. Getting the carrier apart was easy and I was able to reuse the thrust washers on the inside. Getting the locker into the carrier was a pain. It is "overbuilt"in size according to the directions compared to other comparable lockers. Getting it into the third required tapping the halves with a hammer. The little pins and springs were a pain like usual. They use very tight tolerances on these and once they are in, they're in. Finished assembling the carrier by installing cross shaft and retaining pin and staked it into place, and reinstalled the ring gear and re torqued to spec. Bent all the keeper tabs into place....then it was dinner time. I will finish today prior to the Seahawks game and give another update on driveability. I may leave it down for a few days as I have another to install into the front as well as swapping all new bearings, seals, and FJ-60 vented rotors, hubs, and 4 piston calipers. I'm driving the pu while the 4runner is down and love the good snow we have and my dual cases, welded front and rear and BFG mud 35s. More later.
