nice video, I'm about to replace mine with ones exactly like the new ones you just put. how are they? do you feel your truck drives like new again?

i tried to loosen the nuts but they are so rusty and stuck. I'm going to use heat and see what happen

thanks for the video

Yeah, the truck does drive like new again. I just bought another set for my G35 :)

Any chance you have the truck and can give me the axle code on the vin tag? I'm curious what ratio the V6 2wd's had.

To anybody wondering my Toyota service manual says the bolt torque should be 19 ft-lbs for the 2wd model and 53 ft-lbs for the 4 wheel drive. Same torque for the top and bottom mounting bolts.

FYI kroil or PB blaster are the two best commercial products for stuck nuts and bolts. Auto trans fluid and mineral spirits works fairly well in a 50/50 mix inside a spray bottle once you prime its pump. Careful around new rubber though just in case.

You can also put silicone spray in electrical connectors. Makes them easier to reconnect and drives out moisture.

I also spray connectors before I dis-connect them.
