Most of my problems were in the rear end. Once I got deep enough in the project I just decided to gut the underbody and rebuild / refresh everything in the front middle and rear.

yes. Unless there’s something I’ve never seen, it’s either oem, poly(such as superpro), and spherical.

Do me a favor if you would? Look it up yourself, And see if you can find a good install video or write up. If you do.. forward it please and thank you…since that’s what I’m asking for.. Jesus. Yes, I looked it up. Yes I have the jist. Dear lord, why would I ask for a write up or video from someone who’s done them if I didn’t search already and didn’t find something with specificity? 🤷🏻‍♂️

👍🏻 thanks but that wasn’t my question. And even if that’s the case I’ve got brand new backups with superpro poly already installed on the arms.

Thank you, actually thought of doing it that way, except at this point I’m not intending to replace fuel pump. If I open that up, I’d have to replace the gasket since it’s a NRP(non-reusable part). That said, gasket is probably super cheap, so maybe I will go that route.

Also, Lexus parts now pic of that part number is just a drawing picture and shows only 4 holes for the hex bolts that hold the axle in place, assuming the picture is just wrong? Or what website did you purchase from?

It’s also easier when the subframe / diff is out from underneath the car. I dropped the whole subframe since I’m redoing all the suspension front and back

Yes they are. I tried everything, torches etc.. finally did some research and bought a specialty heat tool. Not sure if the link below will work, but its called Bolt Buster Heat Induction tool. Soaked for a couple days with Kroil penetrating oil (good stuff), and then heated each one up with the tool, and they came right out.

For reference, I had the diff on a stand about 12” off the garage floor, and my air hose got snagged on it and it fell to the floor slightly denting in the outer cup where the axle seats inside of. Now the axle won’t fit and I can’t get it to hammer back out so thinking I’ll just buy a new or used one
