Hilux driveshaft centre bearing

Post by nstacey »

How much play if any should there be (if any) in the centre bearing of my Hilux single cab? Its got the two piece rear drive shaft. It has about 20mm movement in it if I move it with my hand. I think its the source of a shudder I have in the driveline when taking off. Where can I get a replacement?
Cheers

Just called Repco, they have one in stock $190 and the guy wouldn't move on the price am tempted to just pay that and get it done ready for Sundays akas trip. My workshop manual says you need a hydraulic press to replace. Any DIY tricks?
