Today, whilst waiting for other items to be delivered, I removed the rear diff. to inspect and replace the pinion seal. We need to go back nearly 3 years......The truck threw the rear propshaft. at 60mph whilst driving down to the docks to ship the truck to America for our 2+ year trip, I...

Thanks for all the replies. The vacuum gauge arrived today, so tomorrow I will conclude the test. I have 'Gas leak detector' spray which I find easier to apply. I may also increase the torque setting from the 12.5Nm. Yes, I will give feedback when strip the gearbox down, especially if it leaves...

The thread dia. is 6mm, though there is a neck down to 5mm! In the standard torque tables at 6mm the highest spec bolt is 12Nm in the Toy workshop manual at 18Nm. In fact the actual text says "Hollow screw: 18Nm(176kgf.cm,13 in.lbf). When there is a mistake with the inch lb value, it doesn't...

No marks on the bolt, it a purpose made for the job. Stephen

I am just fitting new(refurbished) injectors to a 24v engine. When it comes to fitting the fuel leakage pipe, the workshop manual says the torque is 18Nm and in the Ausi WM the torque is 12.4Nm the later seems appropiate for a small bolt. Does anyone know the correct torque and also torqued the...

If I 'crack' open the injectors at the head, I should be able to manually pump fuel out of them? or will it pump fuel into the head? I have changed the filter as it has not been change since driving in Bolivia and 6-8 pumps with the primer and the filter was purge of air. That seems to indicate...

Thanks Karl, I could rule out the tank pick up as the tank is full. Though the pipe from the tank and any joins be the cause. I will closely check the filter connections and also change the filter, its been a while since I changed it. When I do depress the primer it does firm up after being...

I thought I would start a new thread as the subject has changed. I had a leaking ASCD and has being slowly getting worse. The last 3 months it has been left in the drive. Recently I removed the ASCD to check to see how bad it is. It probably needs changing but I wanted to get the engine going...

I have just remove the ACSD unit 'cold start' to replace the weeping 'O' ring on the spindle. After refitting it, the engine does not start! Do I need to bleed the system or will cranking the engine eventually clear the air out of the system? Stephen

I forgot that auto have a park position on the 'drive' stick. I was hoping that it would be reasonably easy to move the handbrake lever to under the dash board position. This would give more efficient use of the space between the seats for a secure box, something that would have been very useful...

I have noticed a depression on the plastic panel below and to the left of the steering wheel. It looks as though it could be a position of a handbrake lever. Do automatics have them in this position? can anyone shed light on this? Stephen

Can anyone tell me what the reference numbers are for the Denso compressor on the 4.2 diesel as I am looking for a replacment. Stephen

Looking at the photo's they dont seem to be that bad. Mine were at a point that you could place a fingernail in the groove! I used a sleeve from this company to solve the problem. http://www.skfmarcomms.co.uk/focus/images/Speedi-Sleeve.pdf Stephen

Hi All, I have a problem, in that I need a new rear propshaft and have been told there are various sizes!.... the additional problem is that I no longer have access to my cruiser..... its in a container bound for North America! my vehicle is a UK spec 1996 HDJ80 manual 4.2 24v. If anyone...

I noticed the gap before getting the correct tension, but blindly followed the toyoya FSWM as gosple! You have to think why Toyota says this..... There is a lot of leaverage on these small bearings, the distance from the bearing to the centerline of the tyre. If the pressure is not enough the...

can you expand on what you mean "stretched my hub by 0.030"" and how you measured it ? Stephen

I have never really checked my miles per gallon but last year I returned from a 30000mile round trip to Magadan via most of the 'Stans' and the total spend on diesel equated to 30mpg! I have a 24v intercooled, with the EGR removed. I also spent £300+ with 'diesel Bob' to set up the fuel pump to...

Its a bit late now to reconsider, but when remote reservoirs where mentioned, I remember seeing that EMU, make one now..... Sales pitch "Extreme Performance Long Travel Remote Canister 4x4 Shock Absorber 18mm hard chrome shaft massive oil volume with total gas separation remote canister with...

That is assuming that the previous owner / garage has not changed them. In my case there is a 5thou homemade brass shim on the bottom of each swivel. The last time I changed them was four years ago and I left these shims where they were but did have to adjust the top shims to get the pre load...

They look good Ryan as long as you aren't taking on dirt/gravel roads, I don't think the exposed piston rods will stand up to the barrage stones and the occasional larger stone they will receive. stephen

Hi Chris, I remenber seeing an exploded view showing shims top and bottom, but I cannot find it now. It was when I found this.... http://www.marlincrawler.com/hardware-t ... nment-tool ..... and the associated instruction file from Toyota. Like you say and also the series80 workshop...

Does anyone know what is the best way to follow the FWM instructions when changing the swivel bearing, without using the special tool for centering the swivel housing by using the top and bottom shims, or does everyone adjust the preload by the top shim only, after all the centre may only be...

Did you get this list of spares? and if so were they OEM's Stephen

Hi Karl, Yes its a series 80 and the tank 170ltr and I seem to remember that it was the South African co. and not the longranger tank. Stephen

looks like I go the pictures wrong... :oops: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonni_stephen/5520257711 http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonni_stephen/5520255491 Stephen

I have just had one made from my drawings for the gearbox based on similar design to the one mentioned on ebay. Mine had slight trimming to do in fitting( I put a wrong dimension on the drawing :( now corrected) I used 6mm alli both to save weight(8mm is 30% heavier) and cost. One sheet did my...

I wanted to remove the glass to clean all the crap were they overlap and to stick tint onto them more easily...if it can ever be easy! I may go down the replace the whole unit with the single piece. Stephen

Does any one know how to remove the small back sliding windows from the landcruiser, safely. steve

I have used a exchange heater (22ltrs) plumbed in to the rear heater behined the drivers seat. Although I did create 3 extra holes, more for conveince in routing the pipes. The original hole was sealed up, also the new holes are also sealed to stop any ingress of water and the whole tank is now...

Another view of looking at exhaust pipe sizes... for a 2.5" pipe size the gas flow speed at the bottom half of the rev range in my opinon will decrease by 20% if you increase the pipe to 3"(20% increase) and if that is the case, then the you will get slower turbo speed / lower boost at the...

No still got the truck decided to go for a aluminium one to fully cover between the chassis rails and also one to cover my aux tank (nearly pierced it in Egypt :shock: ) and may include one to protect the steerring/damper. I thought that someone may has missed out , I did'nt relise that you...

Does anyone still want one of these bash guards.... I have one and never fitted it... no longer require it now. let me know :thumbup:

Weight on the roof does 'weigh' a lot on you mind and keep you concentrating.... on a recent trip to the Gilf - Egypt, we took around 700ltrs of diesel each + 300ltrs of water after 2500miles off road we had around 150ltrs left. My setup is a standard tank with 170ltr aux tank with the Toyota...
