Whats your guys' favorite/best way to pull your front diff out of your truck? Do you guys loosen and jack up the transmission to get a little more clearance? Kinda stumped right now. The flange is hitting the transmission preventing me for rotating the diff out of there

What's it on?

My 2nd gen tacoma was a pain but once I rotated it right it came out without jacking anything else up

You just gotta get it angled right then it'll drop right out. Helps to have 2 people although @MonkeyProof is a machine (and a mechanic) and likely has a better technique.

It’s a 2nd gen taco. Did you unbolt the bracket for the diff breather? I feel like that’s getting in the way of me being able to rotate it down also

Gonna poke back at it tonight after I get off work. Wasn’t going to put in a front locker yet, but after all this, I’m definitely thinking about putting in a front locker now
