New Center Diff Actuator going in Today

[Az4runnin]

No more Leaks on the Driveway. Buddy is a Toyota Tech and dropped the T-case last night at his place and he took it in to Split it Open and change it out today. Put it back in Tonight. Saved a Lot of $ on Part and Labor.

Thanks for posting that pic of transfer case split open. Great info.

I'm sure there is a bit more to it, but it looks like the hardest part is removing the transfer case from vehicle and re-installing it as I don't see a plethora of parts scattered all over that work bench.

All Done. Actuator Shifts awesome. greased drive shaft. New Drivers Door Lock Actuator. That just started acting up a few days ago so fixed that. Some New Clips in the Fender Flairs on the rear doors. Props to my Buddy Justin 4 Busting Ass to get it Finished.

Thanks for the pics!

Someone needs to do a DIY write up on this procedure!

The 4th gen 4runner is 12 years old now and I'm surprised there is no DIY write up properly replacing the actuator yet!

Wish I could have got more pics of this process but he was really busy with his normal jobs and doing this in between those at Work. Glad it's Done.

Nice.

You can see clearly why you need to split the case open and unbolt the actuator to do the job properly.

Absolutely...do it Right the 1st time. No other way to Remove the Actuator without Splitting it open.
