Hi
The troopy came back from the garage today after having a few things done. It was noted on the report that the front shaft slip yoke plug is missing. They told me its no biggy just keep it greased.
How hard is this to replace? I can drop the shaft no probs but have you got to renew the uni joints at the same time to replace the plug??
Anybody done this before..any thoughts??
Cheers
Stu

I lost the same part once and drove around for 50000 klms before I picked a good used one up for $30.
I couldnt get the plug from Toyota,you have to buy the whole thing.
Someone told me it was possible to have one made by a machinist but the good used one was the easiest fix.
It is partially true it wont hurt to keep driving as long as you keep it greased,but if you go offroad reguarly the grease soon disappears.
Mine started to make noises in 4wd after a while .
Easy to replace yourself(as long as the bolts come out easy),just make sure ithe splines goes back on in the same position.
I used the uni joint on the used yoke

Are we talking about the welsh type plug that blocks the hole in the end? if so any auto store should be able to supply a plug of the correct diameter and just clean the recess, put a bead of silicone around and then push it in. A lever with a big screwdriver in the centre should be sufficient to lock it into place. I've replaced a few over the years on toyota's, usually pushed out by too much greasing. In an emergency I've blocked the hole with a plastic lid and silicone too.

I would have thought the plug easy to come by ,but none of the parts shops I visited had them.

Gday Stu
Measure the plug hole and give the parts store the size. Dont tell them you want a plug for the tail shaft .

hi.
You could possibly try any driveshaft manufacturer such as h/spicer,D/train or the likes as I would imagine if they can make the shaft, threy should have the relevant plug to suit
Cheers

Hey Stu,
Try this genuine Toyota number 90330 36032, an old paper listing we used has tail shaft end plug for a 60 series, I think. My
grey matter tells me should be 36mm. Older interpreters had a knack of writing down numbers for future reference.
