DIY on gen 2's

Hello everyone,

Does anybody know how to replace both the UJ joints on the rear prop?? And is it the sort of thing i wanna be doing myself??!!
I feel i'm quite competant but certainly not a mechanic...

Any feed back would be much appreciated..

Cheers...

doing the back is easier tan the front!!! do a search there is plenty of info on the site. I am no mechanic either and i am changing the front three at the mo, well with help from my old man. you just need a vice and a big hammer!!!

good luck

well i'm sure i can lay my hands on a vice and i've certainly got a big hammer tucked away somewhere, thanks for the advice...

I always thought the double-cardan joint on the front shaft was not servicable, or at least not recommended unless desperate need.

But I've never needed to sort one, so havn't tried yet.

You are right. Cant do the double joint on the front prop. All the rest are the same joint. Common to lots of Toyotas.
