ECGS Toyota 7.5" Front Differential Regear w/ Eaton E-Locker Install

Did our video help you? If so, consider buying us a beer: https://bit.ly/3feE6tJ

In this video, Chase Perry, the CEO of East Coast Gear Supply walks you through the steps regear your 7.5" clamshell front differential. Chase also shares all the intricacies of properly installing an Eaton (Harrop) E-Locker.

Chase doesn't show everything in this video because there's an assumption that you've watched his other video of rebuilding and re-gearing the rear 8" differential. So, certain things aren't shown like the pulling off and pressing of the carrier bearings, knocking out bearing races and putting new ones in, removing the old ring gear and the trick to getting the new one on, and going through the pinion bearing preload operation. All the things mentioned above are covered in the 8" Rear Differential Regear video. So, if you need instruction in things I mentioned, please watch the Rear Diff Video:    • ECGS Toyota 8" Rear Differential ReGe...   The Rear 8" Differential Regear video is the foundation for this video.

This video doesn't cover the removal and reinstallation of the front differential. The first time we pulled a front diff on a 3rd Gen 4runner, we struggled a bit.
Our Front Differential Replacement (Part 1) video    • Front Differential Replacement (3rd G...   walks you through most of the process.

We made a Front Differential Replacement (Part 2) video to share some further information to make the removal and reinstallation much easier.    • Front Differential Replacement (3rd G...
