2005 Toyota Tundra Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to inspect and replace the rear axle shaft with ABS on 2005 Toyota Tundra?

  A: The inspection of the rear axle shaft with ABS begins with removing the bearing retainer from the differential side and the ABS speed sensor rotor by installing four nuts on serration bolts followed by hammer usage to detach both components from the backing plate. Replacement nuts should not be used during installation. The first step involves grinding the retainer and sensor rotor surfaces followed by chiseling them out for replacement. Finally secure the backing plate through torquing of the serration bolts with washers before removing both elements. A snap ring expander is needed to eliminate the snap ring from the axle shaft. Fill the 4 nuts of Special Service Tool: 09521-25011 onto the backing plate while using a press to extract the rear axle shaft and bearing retainer before removing the tool. The inspection with a dial indicator should measure the maximum shaft runout at 2.0 mm (0.079 inch) and maximum flange runout at 0.1 mm (0.004 inch), so replace the axle shaft when damage exists or when runout results exceed these parameters. Team up with Special Service Tool: 09308-00010 to remove the damaged and worn outer side oil seal. The worker must replace the damaged rear axle bearing using Special Service Tool: 09223-56010, 09950-60010 (09951-00560) and a press then install a new bearing with Special Service Tool: 09515-30010, 09950-60020 (09951-00890) and a press. Install the new outer side oil seal through the use of Special Service Tools: 09950-60010 (09951-00610), 09950-70010 (09951-07150) and a hammer after inspecting the bearing case for any damage or wear. Start bearing case replacement by removing the outer side oil seal, bearing as well as serration bolts before removing the bearing case. Use two socket wrenches with a press to install the serration bolts into a brand-new bearing case before adding a new bearing and an outer side oil seal. The procedure requires removing hub bolts and oil deflector and gasket with a brass bar and hammer to replace them with a new gasket and deflector before installing a washer and nut to the hub bolt and torquing it before removing the nut. The procedure to install the rear axle shaft within the backing plate includes coating the new outer side oil seal lip with MP grease then assembling the backing plate and bearing retainer onto the rear axle shaft which mandates Special Service Tool: 09316-60011 (09316-00051) and a press to install the rear axle shaft into the backing plate and the next step involves installing a new snap ring utilizing a snap ring expander. Mount the ABS speed sensor rotor with its bearing retainer on the differential side through the use of Special Service Tool: 09316-60011 (09316-00051) and a press tool that sets the standard length at 122.2 plus or minus 1.0 mm (4.811 plus or minus 0.039 inch). Install a new oil seal by removing the inner side seal with Special Service Tool: 09308-00010 and using Special Service Tools: 09950-60020 (09951-00710), 09950-70010 (09951-07150) while applying force with a hammer to coat the lip with MP grease.
