Brilliant write up, Steve. Fair play to you for carrying on with the photos in the rain. Like the tip about the old races. I've used them in the past to fit new bearings but never thought about cutting them like that. Well done indeed!!! |

Cracking write up Steve Five stars plus
It's all well and good reading write ups or a manual, but there is nothing like a comprehensive photo write up.
Cutting the old races is a genius stroke, never seen that one before

hi sean it took about six and a half hours inclueding building a camp and taking photo's cig and drink stops or probly would have taken four
hi Ecky it just means they dont get wedged in with the new ones and useing the old ones to drive in the new ones its nearly impossable to damge the new
as long as you take a bit of care
and my wedding ring has never come of since i got married hopefully it never will eather
hi busaboy
if you can afford it genuine toyota is allways the way forward but many £££££ tho for the smaller seals washers and so on there not to bad
cv from lezura on e bay £50, milner £88, toyota £5-600, but you will need a post 94 i think fandge the wider of the two milner about £32 gen toyota £50
drive shaft cv outer circlip milner £2 prob not much more from toyota
miler swivel houseing an hub seal set £32 but ditch the inner axel oil seal and inner hub grease seal get these from toyota sorry i cant remember how -
much they are £10 - £20 i think for the two per side
wheel bearing lock tab washer, and thrust washer, get from toyota just a few qwid
and i can't remember if you get a flange gasket in the milner kit you should do but may need to get one sepratly
you will need 3-4 pots of lithium based cv grease per side so 7-8 for the two sides
and one pot of bearing grease should just stretch to the two sides but would prob get two to be safe
diff oil mine took around 3 ltrs and a new diff drain plug washer milner or toyota
its a good chance to change disks pads brake up grade an so on
but ih your doing all this it may be worth changeing the swivel wiper seals on the axel as you get these in the kit from milner
and budget for new swivel bearings as if you take it of and they have had it you have a problem then you may some swivel bearing shims?
you will need to undo these four bolts that also have cone washers and knock the bottem of that holds the lower swivel bearing
and then undo the top two for the top swivel bearing also with cone washers i think
then there is about six or eight small bolts that hold the swivel wiper seal and you can remove the swivel hub and change the seals

You don't need to remove that lower steering arm to get the swivel off Steve, just the top cap and then split the ball joints on the drag / track links. The reason for saying split the ball joints instead of removing the arm is that it's quite common for those studs on the passenger side to later come loose once they've been disturbed unless you clean out the threads thoroughly with degreaser and then high strength thread lock them in place _________________ Jon m0zxj

It's the studs that come loose so changing the nuts isn't going to help I'm afraid The main problem is that the holes the studs go into aren't blind, they go up into the swivel void, which is full of grease, which likes to run down the studs if at all possible and lubricate them. If you've had the passenger side ones out, just check they're still tight from time to time because that steering arm is quite important The 'fix' is just to make sure the threads are chemicaly clean and high strength thread lock the studs in place. _________________ Jon m0zxj
