Replacing front diff in Hilux

Rigid axle mate. Will get a manual but was just after a little bit of help and advice on anything that may be worth watching out for??
Thanks for your reply

Probably make sure that you have the right tooling before you start. A 53 mm socket to get the wheel bearing retainer nuts off & a brass drift to get the colletts off of the FWH will make the job easier.
Are you going to do the wheel bearings, seals, etc at the same time?

Thanks Sarg
Will do the bearings and seals while I've got it apart, had the CVs done 12 /18 months ago but may as well do them again as it will all be in pieces on the floor.

PatNav !!!! Some things I have done before, eg front hub seals, bearings, and yes even pulled the rear diff apart and sent the diff centre away to get new bearings put in and get the limo fixed, that was after having asked questions first then draw a picture of the item while I'm pulling it apart so I know how it goes back together in the right position, have done this before on my vitara so new roughly what to do, never done a centre bearing before hence why I asked the question how to do the job and what to look for. Eg do you need a press for the bearing etc which I dont have in my garden shed. If certain jobs dont seem to be too hard I will give it a go, if there is too much invovled or special tools required then I wont touch it. Where I do have a bit of knowledge then I will try help some one as much as I can with the things I no, if I dont know then I will say nothing so that I dont send them up the garden path. Maybe you should keep quit unless you have a genuine question that you need answering from people with a little bit of knowledge and some people with a large amount of knowledge instead of being a sarcastic prick. Have a good one........... Steve...
