  2. 5:03 This is the real problem – it's insane that Toyota doesn't sell you that small part so you have to get full replacement axle just for getting that small part damaged! This would be a great use case for a 3D printer and modeling such a simple part should take about 5 min. The fact that car manufacturers no longer sell actual spare parts but complete modules (for example, here complete axle with two joints with all the milled surfaces and rubbers) is the biggest problem for right-to-repair movement when it comes to cars. The same happens with VAG DSG gearboxes where you cannot purchase a single solenoid but officially have to purchase full gearbox in case a single solenoid inside the gearbox fails!
