Hey I need to drop the oil pan on my Automatic 1990 V6 4WD 4Runner.
I'm wondering how you do this?

I have the book but that only tells how to on a 2WD, and after searching for a good 15 minutes I could only find how to's on 2WD and 22RE models.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

 

Drop the diff...

I don't think it's as hard to do as ppl make out...

There's just 3 mounts for the diff...

You could just drop it, joints and all... Or remove the shaft, joints and diff completely from the truck...

To save time, remove the front drive shaft from the diff and wire it to the frame with a coat hanger, bungee or strap...

I.e, not the whole shaft, just half.

 

Does anyone on YotaTech see why Crimson can't just remove the CV axle bolts (that are behind the drive flanges or hubs), the front drive shaft at the diff, remove the two upper frame mounts, then with the front diff supported by a jack, remove the 4 bolts that hold the front x member and diff mount and lower the entire front diff and shafts out all at one time?

 

Alright thanks alot. Doesn't sound too hard.

 

it's not that hard......

in "Thread B" in my sig, i have a whole section about doing this.
