Toyota E-Locker Rear Differential Rebuild

I'm rebuilding a Toyota rear differential fitted with an electronic locker. The project gets into bearings, seals, the pinion and crush-sleeve arrangement, rather than just showing a cleaned-up housing. It's useful if you want to see what the parts look like before opening your own axle.

What you’ll see in this one

Differential setup is measurement-heavy work. Watch the hardware and layout here, then use the correct axle specifications for your rebuild.

A closer look at this job

This Toyota E-locker differential rebuild focuses on the mechanical components identified in the project: bearing service, seals, the pinion assembly and the crush sleeve. Important related terms include pinion-bearing preload, gear backlash and contact pattern; those are setup concepts to research, not measurements claimed to have been demonstrated here. Electric locking differentials can vary by vehicle and axle housing. Treat this project as a visual reference, identify your exact Toyota differential, and obtain the proper setup specifications before assembly.
