I'm new to the forum but familiar with working on cars/trucks. Had my '95 4Runner in the dealership on Friday to diagnose a small leak in the rear and some noise coming from the front of the truck.

I was told the following needed to be addressed:
- Sway Bar Links Replaced (hole in one of them)
- Rear Pinion Seal leaking
- Rear U-Joint has a lot of play

I've ordered the parts because I enjoy doing the work myself. Question - is there any tricks/tips to replacing these few parts? Anything I should be aware of before I dive in?

TIA!

with the hope of replacing these parts this weekend, can someone tell me if there is a section in the Toyota Manual that explains how to replace the rear U-Joint?

Yes, check the "Propeller Shaft/PR" section.

 

You tube has some good videos on changing rear u-joints

 

Just wanted to say thanks for the couple of posts I got in regards to replacing the rear pinion seal and rear u-joint. took the time this Saturday and Sunday and replaced both front sway bar links, rear pinion seal and fluid, and rear u-joint.
