30,000 mile service - Retorque Propeller shaft (3rd gen)

I checked the tundra 2022+ owners manual and the only item I am confused about is the propeller shaft retorque. Is there a video of the same? I plan to do it myself since dealers in San Jose charge upwards of 600$ for this service! If I cannot purchase a Toyota maintenance plan at a good price, I plan to do the simpler services (oil change, filter change etc.,) myself.

 

You need a video on 4bolts/nuts, on the drive shaft?

Here's a visual aid:



Good luck with that torque wrench in there, lol.....hence why most ppl don't bother at all, or at best we take a regular open ended wrench and yank on them to take them "tight" once in a while, if we ever remember.
-99

 

You can use a crows foot on the end of the torque wrench. There are box end torque adapters available as well but they cost a bit more. Harbor Freight carries the former but not the latter.

Motion Pro makes a neat tool you use with regular wrenches.


But yeah, lots of people just use a regular wrench and torque to 1.5 uggas

 

Thanks, I guess I will just check if they are tight, that should be fine

 

$600 to tighten up 4 bolts?! Hmmm something seems fishy here....Maybe $600 for the entire 30K service??

 

Re torque- break em loose and tighten them to the spec or just throw the wrench on and make sure they are all tight to spec?

 

I've look at mine and no issues. Check it every Oil Change. Owned numerous 4Runners and never had an issue so not expecting one with the Tundra

 

Someone sent me the installation procedure for the front and rear at one time when I had this question. See attached.

 

The 2.5 gen also requires this service.

 

Subscribed.
I am due for my 30k service soon. Im certainly not paying $600 to tighten up 4 bolts

 

I'll do it for $300 cash. You can even sit in the truck while I'm doing it.

 

I'll do it for $250 cash or card.....I'll have a cold beverage of their choice ready and a chair they can sit in

 

Do I hear $200? Going once

 

$199.99 and I'll throw in a 1/4 ounce of home grown.

 

Hahaha. Sold

 

Alright fine...case of really really cold Miller high life, but they have to sit on a milk crate and hand me tools......
