2004 Toyota RAV4 Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How Can You Effectively Service and Repair an Axle Shaft on 2004 Toyota RAV4?
A: Service and repair operations on the axle shaft should start by removing the drive shaft components without touching the outboard shaft. The drive shaft should be checked for movement in the outboard joint plus joint inboard sliding motion in thrust direction and lack of radial play at inboard joint while you also need to examine boots for indications of damage. Use a screwdriver to remove the 4 boot clamps prior to placing matchmarks on the inboard joint tulip and outboard joint shaft before removing the inboard joint tulip. The snap ring expander helps with snap ring removal before placing matchmarks on outboard joint shaft and tripod and gently separating tripod from drive shaft using a brass bar and hammer while avoiding roller contact. Use a screwdriver with hammer to remove the dust deflector while the process also includes removal of inboard and outboard joint boots with their 4 boot clamps. The ABS speed sensor rotor must be protected during reinstallation of the dust deflector through the use of Special Service Tools 09300-36010 and 09316-20011 operated by a press. Use new outboard and inboard joint boots during installation by securing them with vinyl tape that covers the outboard joint shaft spline area to protect it from damage. Attach two new boot clamps to each shaft before installing them properly. Mount the tripod onto the drive shaft by placing its beveled spline against the outboard joint yet maintain alignment of marked points. Then use a brass bar to tap the tripod onto the shaft, keeping away from the roller contact points. Create a new snap ring installation through the use of a snap ring expander. Use boot kit grease to fill up to 100 to 110 g (3.5 - 4.2 oz.) of black grease alongside the outboard joint and boot at 100%. Then seal the outboard joint with the boot. Use yellow grease inside the inboard joint tulip with boot then set matchmarks before placing the inboard joint tulip onto the outboard joint shaft before boot up. Tighten the boot clamps with a screwdriver after bending the band in order to achieve proper placement of the 2 boots on the shaft groove which should be at standard length without stretching or contraction.
