nice writeup the only yhing I can fault is using a brass or aluminum drift on bearings, both being a soft material will chip or flake leaving bits in the bearing, only mild steel drifts are suitable the wont damage the hardened bearings

One of the best Toyota gear install writes ups that I've seen. Very cool. Great ideas for the homemade tools too.

Thanks!!!!

I don't have a problem with my drifts splintering. I clean grind the end often. The race driver has no splintering issues especially if you press with it. But I agree a soft steel metal drift will also work, but a lot of people don’t know or can’t tell the difference."It only takes a little scratch the destroy the bearing. If you do have shaving, just wash then out with a little break cleaner and go.

Another way I use, is you take the old race, flip it so it is tapper to tapper and use that to tap it in. Works in a pinch.
