Crush Sleeve - Toyota 8" Rear & 8" High Pinion Differentials - 41231-24010

Crush Sleeve for rebuilding the Toyota 8” Rear & 8” High Pinion Differentials with or without E-Locker

Any time you loosen or remove the pinion nut, thereby releasing tension the crush sleeve, a new one must be put in to place to ensure the correct torque setting (and tension) on the pinion nut.

If you’re replacing the pinion seal, then you must also replace the crush sleeve and be very careful to set the correct pinion pre-load for used bearings.

Too much pre-load, which is easy to do, will cause premature failure of the pinion bearings.

There is a Toyota SST that is specifially designed to remove the outer pinion bearing from the pinion shaft, and greatly simplifies bearing removal. See: Bearing Removal Tool 09556-22010
