Drive shaft bearing replacement

[87soup]

i need to know haw to replace the carrier bearing on the drive shaft...

Does this come off??

I want to replace the whole drive shaft for a solid one but dont have enough yet, can this be replaced using the same drive shaft as before???

Yes, remove the nut holding the front shaft in there, and then the flange, and then remove the centre bearing and put a new one in.

And it's going to cost you ~ $200 at Jay Marks Toyota...more at the local dealer (unless you get a discount). If you are planning to get a one piece, take a look at the recent threads on that subject...you can get an aluminum shaft for $350 shipped from ShaftMasters. Take a look at this thread:

It depends on your needs if you choose a single or two piece driveshaft

Here's the reviews on the R154 and A340 driveshaft:
