    Just finished doing this on my 2008 TRD Sport, 2 wheel drive, Double Cab V6, Automatic. Did not have as many bolts holding Drive Shaft as you showed, as there were 4 bolts, washers and nuts holding drive shaft flange to Differential. There were no similar bolts on the transmission end, just the Slip Yoke which goes into the transmission. There are the same two screws holding the Carrier Bearing to Frame and the same Nut holding the Carrier Bearing on to the middle Spline Yoke. Your video saved me a lot of research time. Ordered the parts on eBay and obtained The Spicer Select U-Joints and Spicer Carrier Bearing. I moved slowly and methodically and got the job done, thanks to watching your video. Thank you for making and posting as it was excellent resource to have available. What I thought was a worn Carrier Bearing turned out to be 3 bad needle bearing ends of the U Joints. They were rusted away and turned into Rust Dust. They had no grease fittings and were never replaced. My Truck has 170, 891 miles, and only when I went into reverse did I get squeaking, sounded like a bird chirping. Never made any noise when moving forward. It was like having a backup warning signal, which I will miss. NOT! Next project: replacing leaking rear axle seals, and potentially damaged bearings which are contaminated from the rear differential fluid washing into and deteriorating the bearing grease. Not sure I have the strength to do this type of repair, as I am feeling my age after this repair. Happy 4th of July Weekend!

    @@KFloTacoma, That's great to hear and I look forward to seeing it. I have the 20 Ton press (I got the HF Press for $50 from a FB Marketplace ad) and was going to buy all the Toyota genuine parts from eBay, which I already have selected and saved to my watch list. I also was going to get the rear axle bearing tool for pulling the hub and tone ring, as seen on Timmy The Toolman channel. But, I have not pulled the trigger on doing anything yet. Have to decide if I want to pay a mechanic. Biggest concern is how to make certain the Tone Rings are not pressed on too far, and what size gap has to remain so the speed sensor ring will still work. Due to the fluid leaking, the rear brake pads are getting saturated...so it is a big job which has to be done sometime soon. Need to pay for a new roof first before I have to think about the leaking seal.

I used the U joint tool from Advanced Auto (free) and it made it a lot easier than hammering. Everything you said was exactly what was required. Truck now runs great again. Thanks for your help!

Quick note though FSM lists torque on the nut for the Yolk for those at 134 ft lbs, then remove nut and go to 51 ft lbs. First value to seat the bearing, 2nd value is the torque spec. By the way the breaker bar through the ears was a phenomenal idea!

    Great video, I am about 75% done, I took notes and am very happy so far. I never thought that Center Support Bearing was going to come off the shaft but it did. The press made everything super easy. Getting a good angle on the nuts when taking off the drive shaft was hell since i started off doing it by myself, it was very timely, eventually my kids came home and were happy to shift the truck back and forth for me. Thank you so much for the video. I spent much less money then if I would have taken it to the mechanic and the last time this same thing happened apparently they only changed 1 of the U-Joints and the other two were dust this time.

    It's probably worth mentioning that the shaft is balanced as a complete unit and that is why it's important to put on the alignment marks. It was balanced with that alignment so if it doesn't go back together the same way it may not be balanced.

    Thank you for great video! I have a 2009 Taco automatic 4wd TRD sport. Do I need to have the truck on jack stands to be able to spin the rear drive shaft by hand in neutral? Or can this be done with the truck on the ground after I disconnect the flange plate from the rear differential?

    Hi KFlo, I replaced the 3 U Joints and the carrier bearing on my 2011 Tacoma TRD 4x4 AT, one of the ujoints was actually missing needle bearings so the truck was making a knocking sound when I would come to a full stop and when I would accelerated from a dead stop, greatly improved after I completed the work, but once in a while I’m still getting a knocking sound from a dead stop, any suggestions?

    My truck is also a 4x4. The front wheels are driven by the front CV axle assembly and is completely independent from the driveshaft/propeller shaft that's driving the rear. It's a pretty straight forward job to tackle, just take your time. Hopefully this fixes your hammering issues.

    If you marked the flanges before you took them off so that they can be put back in the same orientation, you typically don't have to rebalance. Most of the mass of the drive shaft is on the shaft not so much in the joints.

    What do you suggest to do if your u-joint zerk fittings will not take grease. I used a pick to moving the ball in the zerk and cleaned them up really good. Grease just pushes out the side of the zerk on all u-joints and I can’t see any grease getting pushed out of the u-joint itself.

    @@KFloTacoma my son and I used what we learned from your videos to replace the u-joints, carrier bearing and one upper ball joint on his 2011 Tacoma. In addition, we cleaned and greased the slip joint shaft. We were careful to mark everything with a paint marker to ensure that we put it all back in the correct alignment. Two of the u-joints were ok, but the third was totally shot; the needle bearings had turned to dust. We rented a ball joint press from Auto Zone, which made it much easier. The driveshaft portion was pretty straightforward, but the ball joint was a real pain; had a hard time getting it to go in straight, my c-clip pliers were too small, and we couldn’t get the boot to stay on. We eventually got everything in, so all’s we’ll….Thanks again for a great video.

    Excellent video. I just figured out what a vibration is that has plagued me for some time and noticed the grease was slung all around. Moog #270? Looks like several places cross reference this, but Amazon is the only place that says it doesn't fit my 2009 base 2wd. Also, it suggested a Anchor #6073 instead of #6074 for the bearing, but the descriptions on Rockauto (which also just reads "Tacoma 1995-2015" for both of these, different prices) read suggested both as a replacement with one mentioning 4wd/prerunner, the other for rwd base with the same specs. Do you know the difference if there is one? Amazon might be wrong or is the 2wd base different than the pre-runner/sr5 here? Thanks!

    In double checked in rock auto. It does say moog 270 does work. I would recommend getting the moog 270 over the others because the grease fitting is so easily accessible. You can always get the others on autozone or a local shop as backup and return them later on anyways. Good luck!

Mine should be relatively easier too because with 2wd, the transmission side yoke is a splined and slides in with no bolts I should be able to leave the truck in neutral for the entire replacement. I'll only have to remove the 4 rear bolts and carrier. I think I'm going to just buy the press from Amazon because its always nice to have that one tool when you need it and there are 2 other tacomas in my family.

    @@KFloTacoma Pro tip to others. DO NOT install the spring clips until you've set both opposing sides of the u-joint. I, in my royal dumbass fashion, broke the lip of the flange yoke connected to the rear diff by pushing one side too hard against a clip trying to set it. It seems like they're super tight to grab the lip. I now dont have a truck until fixed. My local dealership (Newark Toyota) was realllly smug about the parts and told me that I had to buy an entire driveshaft. I asked because I saw them on Amazon and Summit but couldn't confirm based on the notes. I knew better and I dont think this will impact balance. If you're trying to find this hard to get part because its not listed in the catalogs, look here - www.northerndrivetrain.com/product/PTI-3302-185.html I ordered one and also needed another moog 270 because I got a either used or bad u-joint from Amazon so a replacement is on the way. This is apparently the same part of some of the 4x4s so would apply to the xfer case if you have one. So much for easier. Should have kept silent.
