Just found this video, very informative about what an auto spindle looks like vs manual. My only feedback is that Toyota tells you to check the hub bearing end play with a spring scale (fish scale) and the hub should move with the wheel off at about 10lbs of force. Thanks!
Interesting that on factory trucks with Manual locking hubs there is a Snap ring on the outer axle shaft vs the bolt through the axle , like on the Auto hub trucks. I have reused the center bolt and had not had any issues yet.
@@jesusjaar1937 unfortunately no, it's been awhile since I've looked into this. If you can find a parts diagram and maybe a part number you can search eBay or guys parting out an old rig. Good luck!
Hmmm I'm not sure, if I remember correctly, the shotty socket I made was just barely deep enough to get me by. If you end up doing the swap let me know what you use!
@@TylerStoner i just realised that impact socket cannot be use for 54mm hub nut cause socket round lip is quite thick, need to use thinner socket, which is special 55mm hex socket
Yotashop has manual Aisin hubs but they aren't exactly cheap. You can pick up other brands on Amazon or Ebay. I got mine on Craigslist and they guy was parting out his stuff so the kit was all together. Here's a link to yotashop. Not sure if its a straight swap or what comes with it cuz this isn't what I used. But Yotashop has some sweet stuff. www.yotashop.com/toyota-4runner-truck-ifs-aisin-manual-hub-1986-1995-fht-018/
@@oscartierrablanca5590 I don't know if anyone sells a full kit. I refrenced a "kit" in the vid assumming the Craigslist guy got it as a kit or something. Just dug around some 4X forums and yota pages and couldn't find a "kit" anywhere :/ The link in the vid description that I followed while doing the swap says you can get the parts straight from the Toyota Service dept. He even states the parts you'll need. I've def got some very specific stuff for my old truck over the years through the parts dept.
The stock setup on the front is an open diff with hubs that Auto lock to the axel when you drive forward in 4x. But if you reverse or roll back, the auto hubs disengage from the axel. So still open diffs front and rear all the time, but the front are manually engaged.

DUDE! I have an 87 runner I'm doing the same thing! Great video. Hope you're doing well.

I also found that interesting, however using the bolt hole is useful for getting the snapring out :)
Great video I am also a visual learner, but with so much old grease it was hard to see all the bolts. Great job my friend. 🙏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾👍🏾
Thank you so much!
You rock, thanks for putting this out there!
The center bolt on mines turns when I’m trying to remove it.. any recommendations? Seems like you removed it easily
I literally said tap tap taparoo right when you did and laughed out loud, made my night
Give it a tappy, a tap tap, taparoo! Love it.
@@TylerStoner happy Gilmore
@@gufiaito69able GO TO YOUR HOME, BALL! Love that movie
Hey, you know where can I get the part of the automatic hub that is beneath the hub? The one with the spring and 3 bolts

@@TylerStoner :( thanks tho. I did try to find a diagrama but havent had luck
Great vid the only comment I would make is when I did mine I found it a lot easier with the wheel off ya can get ya hands to it better !!1
Oh yea I bet that's much easier. I usually make projects way harder than they need to be lol
Hi, great video.. Do yo think 🤔 55mm semi deep socket fit hub wheel nut, thanks

Can you post a link to the kit to convert it

Tyler Stoner I’m talking about the kit not the hubs the washers and the nuts

I sometimes like to see videos of people doing it.. lol
LOL I just watched this again to get a parts list for another commentor and just got what you were commenting on! I was def confused for a while hahah
👍
The diff is what locks and unlocks not the hubs.automatic disengaging differential

So still open diffs front and rear all the time, but the front are manually engaged.
Craigslist? I haven't heard that name in years...
Yea this video may be dating itself a tad. I went on the other day looking for tools, it's changed a lot, and not for the better :/
@@TylerStoner I understand. I stop using a few years back bc they were charging a fee to posy. Offerup and FB market is where it's at.
