Changing propshaft bearing. Anything I need to know?
Hi guys,

I'm going to be changing the bearing on my propshaft as there's a bit of play in the current one. I've bought a new one from Toyota:

I'm guessing it's a matter of undoing the four bolts that secure the prop to the bearing. Then there's a nut that's got a crimped edge over it. Am I right in thinking that I simply undo this bolt (is it easy to undo?) and then I can remove the prop from the bearing?

Am I right in thinking put the prop through the bearing, torque up nut then re-fit and that's it?

Also have the rear gearbox oil seal to replace. If I remember correctly, it just comes out by hand as the intermediate shaft from the box holds it in place normally?

I think I know what I've got to do, but just wanted to check first!

Cheers all! Smile
