axle splitter

Are you asking about an axle disconnect? If so, contace a Demco dealer and see if they make a kit for the specific vehicle.

Brand name is REMCO. They used to offer Disconnects that released one half shaft so you could tow. Not sure they do anymore. If they don't, a drive line shop might be able to help.

The only problem with trying to get a driveshaft disconnect is I believe the Toyota is a front wheel drive. I think it is going to be kind of hard as you would have to disconnect each side.

Butch, There "were" devices where you reached under the front of the FWD car, maybe from under the hood, and diddled with some kind of collar-looking thing that un-coupled the outer/wheel end of the CV shaft assembly from the inner/transaxle end. I just tried a little research and found this about REMCO:

"Axle-Lock disconnects for disengaging the automatic transmission of a front wheel drive vehicle, These units are no longer available, information for reference only!"

I'm not sure why they went away, but I can see a few possibilities.

1. FWD cars play very well with dolllies.

2. Disconnecting only one half-shaft (CV axle) leaves the differential part of the transaxle spinning and acting as if the car was doing around a corner.

3. There was no actuator cable for these, so you had to reach/crawl to get to the release collar.
