Today we're installing a Harrop E-locker and 4.88 Yukon gears in an 80 series Land Cruiser. I'll apologize in advance for the audio. I hit a button on the audio recorder and it made the volume auto correct when it shouldn't.

I may find myself in the fj80 market soon and find your videos very helpful. Regeqr and lockers are a must and I prefer to do my own installs, though I have only done Nissan's and salsbury style axles.. Do find you have to adjust pinion depth much with these installs? If so do you use a setup bearing?

@OTRAMM 5 жыл бұрын

With Yukon gears at least the factory master shim seems to be really close most of the time. Often enough that I never bothered to make a setup bearing. Having a big press makes it easy too.

Dude, you obviously know what you're doing. Too bad you didn't have someone to help you film. A stationary camera is seriously limiting the quality of your videos. The right camera angles and lighting to see all the action can make all the difference to the viewer. Enlist someone to help you while filming and the quality of your videos will go way up. A friendly suggestion from one Automotive KZfaqr to another.

I am about to install a harrop locker on my nissan patrol Y61 3rd member. The adjustment of carrier bearings is exactly the same. I am intrigued with the measurement of the measurement of the adjuster cap using the dial indicator. This is to make sure that the bearings are tight enough on both sides so that a notch turn in opposite directions moves the carrier left or right? Also I have not heard to use loctite on the bearing cap bolts, is this necassary, as Harrop does not mention this, only loctite 262 on the crown to carrier bolts.

@OTRAMM 6 жыл бұрын

The dial indicator the the adjuster is part of Toyota's instructions for setting the preload. It shows that the bearings are loaded. The instructions don't call out locktite. I use it as added insurance. I tend to locktite anything that moves.

....Is the "crush sleeve" just a Toyota thing? I did a '66 Bronco front axle and no crush sleeve - what is the benefit of the crush sleeve?

@OTRAMM 4 жыл бұрын

I know Dana uses them as well. The old Toyota stuff used shims to set preload. It swapped to crush sleeve in the mid seventies. Crush sleeves are faster for assembly since you just crush them til preload is correct instead if messing with shims. You can dial it in a bit closer to since you don't have shim thickness "steps" sometimes a shim is too thick or thin to be dead on.

@pascoscout6782 2 жыл бұрын

So you forgot the camera on the pinion bearing install piece. When doing new gears do you reuse the shim under the pressed on bearing or do you install a new shim. If new how do you know how much to shim it. Also when doing the initial pattern on this one you hit it right the first time, what if it's not?

@OTRAMM 2 жыл бұрын

I start with the original pinion shim. Then check the pattern. If the pattern is off I add or subtract shim thickness from there. Gears are a blend of art and science since you have to interpret the contact pattern to know what changes need to be made.

@pascoscout6782 2 жыл бұрын

When you do the initial test with the pinion are you pressing on the new bearing or using a test bearing that slips on and off easier? I've seen where guys grind the old bearing out a bit so it slips on and off the pinion to do the test and get the shims right.

Mate you’re unbelievable. Amazing work. Can I offer some constructive criticism about your video. As your doing an instructional video it’s very important to have a clear view of what’s happening. It seems that either your hand or you body is blocking the camera. May I suggest raise you camera up and place it at about 45 degrees. (From high looking down at 45) Eg you say stake the nut. Your there tapping but can’t see what you’re doing. Just looks like a guy with a hammer. I do realise you need to make a living and your life isn’t about you tube. I’m just saying your so talented, your videos good be even better. Please don’t take this as criticism, I highly appreciate the effort you go to. On a different not. Diffs are quite complicated. Omg. I’m smart enough to know I’m too dumb to do what you just did.

I know this is old… but, why don’t you use starting torque when checking pinion preload like the service manual instructs?

I made the original holder probably 20 years ago. It's been changed around depending on shop space several times. It originally mounted in a vise, the a hitch receiver vertically, then horizontally, finally bolted to the engine stand head. I'm building new shop benches soon and some different tool adapters. The diff holder is on the list to rebuild. I'll try and get a video.

It's custom. If you look closely you can see how many times I've changed it. It started out bolted to my welding table, then changed to a quick release hitch style mount, then redone to bolt to the engine stand. I really like it on the engine stand.
