Boy, you make this complicated piece of work a piece of cake!!!!! Not only are you meticulous but you are also a 'homeboy', providing the needed simplified method to press in races. Kudos!!!!

Nice work. I don't know of many people who are that thorough, especially with the sealant etc. Thanks for sharing.

Great video with just the right amount of detail and speed of moving to the next task. Nice work. I've got this service to do before winter so was very helpful. Clay

Great video. I just happen to see cause it was on my suggestion List. Didn't need the info but glad there are people here that are genuinely glad to help others.

The sealant on the flange was a nice touch, I will follow your process with my bearing replacement.

Thanks you couldn't have made it look any easier, all the important info covered. Good Job.

It's been said many time before but thank you for these great posts! FSMs and other manuals are great resources but a video is so much better.

Fantastic videography, thank you so much for taking the time to post such an informative and visually descriptive procedure. I also really appreciate you stating the 12mm bolts you used in the pull the axle! Well done!!

hi thats a fantastic video i am from saudia arabia and i work on fj40s restoration great work dude❤

awesome detail work and we'll done very meticulous .l can tell that you are a very thoughtful mechanic

very usefull video! I have a 1983 Fj-60... i´ll be watching this again while doing the service to my ride... thanxs

@MerlinxPV Thanks very much Merlin! I enjoy doing the work and always love to learn while I am doing it.

I've been turning wrenches for over 40 years (most of them earning a living) and I have to tell you I am impressed by two things. First is I have a bit more respect for the Land Cruiser rear axle design, well thought out for reliability and simple to service. Second, you are a very good, broad skilled mechanic, I think you have a future with spanners should you ever decide to hang up you Fireman hat.

Awesome video mate. My LHR bearing collapsed coming home from a trip over the weekend, preparing to rebuild using this exact method in a few days time. Couldn't be a better video - perfect!! Cheers! Mitch, HZJ78R, NSW Australia

I remember doing it that way many times. It's an easy job, unlike trying to change the wheel bearings on an bloody xtrail

Thank you sir.. Especially for the tips on installing the races. I am so poaching that trick.

Man this is one great video! Thanks for taking the time to make it.

@TheCrs111 Glad you liked it! More coming as soon as this rain stops!

From an old bush mechanic - NEVER use a surface with any 'give' (like the tray of the ute in this video ) as an 'anvil. (Perhaps it was for the video perspective in this case?) At least a piece of hardwood on hard ground or concrete! Thanks from Australia for the post Mate

I don't understand how this could get any thumbs down. Excellent how to video. Thanks

Thanks heaps mate, got me through a service. legend!!!

@ned900 prrelaod means the amount of force in pounds that it takes to move the hub - so yes i attach the scale and pull - it is not perfect but it works, for years i did it with nothing but i don't suggest that. please follow the manual as I cannot give advice on exact specifications without seeing something in person. All cruisers are different of course. Thanks for watching!

Fantastic vid! Thanks for your time making these!

Your Videos make a lot of sense

No problem at all - thanks for watching and your support!

My 80 and I thank you for these videos!!! Cannot imagine tackling what I have without these. On pressing in the races, what if I dont have a press, per se? Carefully knocking in with a race tool is safe, yes?

@oyamum when you align the notches it means the holes are aligned so you can put the retaining screws in. Thanks for watching!

That is great!! I just got a 94 FZJ80... driving it home, the engine imploded. Now I am having a mechanic put a Used one in with 50k miles on it... It is costing about 5500 for the engine swap- everything else I want to do myself.. so these will be a great resource.. !! Thanks

Great video, very informative and helpful!!

@RJ7088 Glad I could help and thanks for watching!

nice vid guys, all the info I needed ,Thanks

You are good teacher Louis!

Thank you for all your videos...

Thanks for sharing this video, interesting and informative.👍

@dardarwin01 This will stop the leakage at the wheel hubs on the rear end, if it is leaking where the driveshaft meets the differential then you need to replace the pinion seal.

More coming! waterpump change out, timing belt replacement and more!

@AlmondCharles Great and glad I could help! the best manual is the toyota factory manual, you can find online versions if you try a google search. Thanks again!

Well done great video!!

clever vid and heaps helped,love the tricks too.

Well done man thanks' I have learn a lot today, good video to well done.

Great demonstration

yes bu the locking tab just holds it in place - as the bearings and races wear the nuts will loosen.

Great advice. Gotta be sure to cut the old race like you showed. If someone was to tap the new race in with the old race without cutting it, the old race could get really stuck in there. Or so I've heard... LOL. :)

Great job thanks for sharing this information.

Nice instructional. I figured the old race trick too when doing trailer bearings. How does that synthetic grease hold up?

Thank you for watching!

Now I'm doing the rear hubs on my 80 I have been asking people about sealing (or not) around the cone washer seats and most people say not to put sealant there. I was able to locate the proper tool for the lockring so should be able to use that for setting the pre-load along with my torque wrench.

MATE YOU ARE A MASTER!!! I WILL SAVE 700$ THANKS TO YOU!! CHEERS!!!

This video helped me out a bunch. Note: if you have factory lockers, lock them before taking the axle out.

@luloadventure Thanks Lulo!

Great video.

Yes very good point.

@JensEskildsen Thanks Jens!

thanks for sharing.... very helpful..

Do NOT beat the hell out of the axle flange. If you had a factory service manual, and you can read, it's clear that you use a soft punch (aluminum or brass) and firmly tap the end of the bolt, which releases the tapered cones. Once they are loose, a small (1/8" wide) flat bladed screwdriver wedged in the edge facilitates removal. Beating the side of the flange distorts the surface, makes the axle hard to seal, eventually destroys it, and shows the world how not to do things.

More coming!

amazing works

awesome videos my friend! very helpful. I want to ask why do we do the process with the locking nut at the end. After we finish it is suppose to be at the locking position right?

@KYOANSHIKI More videos coming!

great job

The scale is used for what? Just curious. Great video

Nice job!! Can you tell me please the rear axle seal code? Thanks!

nice vedio its very helpful

@craigdewick ya you don't really need to - i thought it might keep the rust out inthis salty environment but it really doesn.t

@craigdewick check out my 100 series rear brake service - it should be just about the same as your 80. havent done a diff replacement yet.

hey just re doing my bearings and wondering about the sealer… doesn't gluing it up with sealer make it near impossible to open up next time? i could imagine taking the cone washers out would be a nightmare?

@jim808mp lol, I'd do it if I hd one to work on! You can use my Lexus 470 rear brake tutorial - it is very similar though.

Great Video thanks so much@

with factory diff lockers are they meant to be locked before removing the axles?

5 of those are stronger than 6 of the old ones:)

👍👍👍great video

that was nice and smart

Did you need to drain the rear differential fluid before removing the axle?

You're a god.

Not a problem - I make them for you guys!

How hard is changing the rear bearing . The shop wants 700 to do it . I’m thinking about doing it myself .

@danman1178 Awe thats too bad! My friend has one here for 300, mind you it has 200000 on it but still runs great! Make aure you change out the little collant hose while the engine is out, its a real pain in the butt when you have to do it in the truck.

I threw drum hub retainer screw Do you need them ?

will this stop a leakage from deferential it comes out of the rear end

I am ordering complete front and rear hub bearings for my Toyota landcruiser 2006 model. How many sets of bearings do I need?

WOW>.. I want more..!!

How to remove if the axle nut is broken?

I have trouble with align the notches ?

Thanks!

Just to confirm, the spindles are greased as well, even where the bearings sit? Thanks.

@lshobie we use kg here, does that mean it sould take approx 20kg of pulling force to move the hub? sorry im clueless, the hub is currently apart.

80 series as well?

Silly question. Is there a reason the axle wasn't greased up?

Спасибо.

My 80 is a 3/92 with rear disk brakes not drum brakes. What differences would there be compared to 80's with drum brakes? Removing the calipers obviously so the brake disks can be remove. I believe the hub seals are different between drum and disk brake configurations. Also has anyone done a video on replacing the 80's rear diff centre as I need to replace mine (very bad bearing whine) or get the current one rebuilt. Thanks. Craig.

Great tutorial! Do you know the part numbers for the inner and outer bearings? Also the seal and any paper gasket needed? My driver side is leaking behind the dust cover and would like to have all parts needed prior to beginning. Thank you!!

de que año le puede quedar para una toyota tacoma 2000 el diferencial de que año

Hey mate, nice video I was trying to pause but couldn’t quite work it out, I’ve got a hzj75 and noticed a slow leak on my passenger rear hub, just curious as to how many dowels should be in the hub? As there are currently 2 with 2 blank holes? I think one is missing?

clearly never wants to get those cones out ever again

hi, im wondering about the preload, i have the service manual, it says 600kg-cm (43ft-lb, 59n.m) however i dont have a clue what that means (lol) what weight did it say on your scale? i can understand that. cheers

@darthvincor Yes everything gets grease!

My 79 has disc all round

I can not get my axle back in to diff help please

Nice :)

Hi, do you still remember what are the torque numbers for installations? Thanks!
