Lock - Right install
I just order a Lock-Right locker for my 94 V6 4Runner, and was wondering if anyone can recommend somewhere in Orange County California to do the install.
I might try it myself except the Apartments won't allow it, and I don't have all the tools I would need anyway.
Thanks
Andy

How can they tell, just climb under, disconnect drive shaft, pull third member, carry it into the apartment, do all the installation there
write up : You have to place the rear on Jack stands, remove the tires, brakes, and axels to be able to remove the Third member.
I got a quote from Unitrax to do the install for $175.00.
Thanks for the responses

i left that out because that's sort of a given and I figured you'd just put it up on jack stands with the tires maybe an inch from the ground {not too noticeable}, leave tires on, disconnect brake line and cap off, unbolt four flange nuts and pull the axles about 4 inches out support so the axles don't crush the seal, remove the third member, slide axles (with wheel still attached) back in and thread one nut on each flange, then go in and install the locker and come back out and reverse the above. it's cool though if you can afford to have someone else do it.

Thanks keisur
Yeah! I posted the wrong write-up. The one I wanted was just below it.
I really don't have alot of money and would love to do it myself. I guess I'm just a little worried something will go wrong since I've never done this before. I have repaired my own cars in past, 20 years in the past but never a Differential.
Thanks Again

Well Keisur, you talked me into it. I going to buy a socket set (someone stole my tools) and do the install myself. The money I save on labor will more than pay for the tools. Autozone loans torque wrenches for free.
Is there any special wrenches I need. Just trying to get ready.
I hope to take pictures from beginning to end. If the camera I bought on E-bay arrives in time.
Thanks again
Andy

I do have a 3/8" rachet and some 1/2" extension that the thieves missed. Will a 3/8" socket be big enough? Well I'm saving $175.00 doing it myself I can probably afford both.
I have a floor jack, a hydraulic jack, and jack stands. I think the biggest socket I will need is a 24mm.
The Locker probably won't arrive until next week.
I'll keep you informed.

I just received my Locker and I'm beginning to read the instructions. I was hoping that maybe someone knows the torgue sequence and specs for finishing the install.
Also what Lube do you recomend to use. I remeber from years ago when I tried to use one of those hand pumps to replace the gear oil, it was nearly impossibly. It was like trying to suck a watermellon thru a straw.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy
