Great no bullshit information, no torque wrenches, no presses, no resistance scales. Just plain old experience, feel & no how. You gave me the confidence to use my normal tools & get the job done, thanks alot!!
This was the best video on how to replace/repair the swivel hub components. Thanks to you, I felt confident to do it myself and succeeded replacing the CV joint and bearings on my 78. Thanks Heaps.
Hey mate, brilliant video, I reckon I have enough confidence to do my own 75 now, save me frigging 100's on labour. Your the kinda bloke I could have a beer with, cheers mate!
the circlip in the free wheeling housing is a PITA to re-install. be careful it doesnt spring off and go "boing" into the shed or garden somewhere. a conventional external clip with two holes for normal circlip piers would make it so much easier. the 54mm socket is also 2-1/4" exactly
Great video, your cameraman was pretty average but thanks heaps for taking the time. I’ll finish putting mine back together tomorrow knowing that my front end is done properly, you’re a bloody legend mate.
I fitted the wheel bearing race for a MK2 Hilux by using an old starter motor with the solenoid removed. I think the race was some thing like 83mm diameter and the starter was a mill or 2 under. The starter body was soft steel so didn't damage the race, and by hitting the shaft of the starter it drove it in dead straight.
I use a couple of old studs, or bolts with the heads cut off, to temporally hold the spindle gasket, spindle, backing plate etc in place until I got a couple of bolts in.
Did you share more of your secrets in a latter video of how to replace the bearings not just the repack?.. if so please share the link. Thanks,, !! Great video and l love your style
In ref to the position of the spindle gaskets: I have a FJ 60 series workshop manual which clearly shows a gasket between the swivel housing and the spindle. Makes perfect sense. But it also shows the other gasket positioned between the dust cover and the dust seal plate...not as you have done with the gasket between the outer face of spindle and dust cover. Other mechanics have done it your way as well and this is the way that I have also done it...but it puzzled me why the need for this gasket at all ! ...hence why I looked in the 60 series manual. (Note: that the difference between these series of LCrusiers are negligible. Any comments?
Awesome vid mate. Watched a dew of your vids and im spewing u dont make them anymore. Doing this tomorrow wish me luck. Do u put ur lockers in to stop when the cv slides into the diff for dropping
I'm doing this tomorrow. The dirt and grease is caked on hard as hell like cement on the outer hub housing (worse than the VDJ in ya vid). Did you use a wire wheel to remove the bulk first?
When putting back together and the shitty little split washer won’t reseat can you advise what the issue may be the axle shaft won’t pull back far enough
Hi your video was great but I had a major fail the ball bearings fell out and bits of metal everywhere. My axil was OK do I replace the pice that fits into the cv joint or will it be OK
Hi Sir, we are mechanics me and my younger brother. We have a garage on our own. But we're in need of your used tools. Like Jack stands, air wrench, hub seal tools, etc. Please colleagues mechanics help us with working tools. We are from a Sierra Leone, west Africa. With thanks.
Thx for the video - I have to do same job on my 80 series Land cruiser. I assume it'll be pretty similar. One question I have - do I have to engage (factory fitted) front axle diff lock in order to prevent parts from dislocating inside the diff when I pull out the drive shaft? I was told to do so if I pull out the rear axle drive shaft... Could you please comment on this? Cheers, Frank
@@franks2354 ye not sure i did my rear last week and where the axel goes into the diff dropped but ended up using a broom stick to lift it back up. Thats what putting the lockers in help stops
Great video mate! Is this still the same as doing a Hzj75? I've got to do both my hub seals on my ute so I'll use this video as a guide. Cheers! Keep the videos coming.
Hey mate. is the skirted spring rubber seal ( supplied in repco kit WBK 3021) used in the front axel anywhere? it comes with the inner axel seal as well you knocked in first. but can't find where the rubber one goes??? or is it only used in the rear axel? cheerswww.tojo4wdcentre.com.au/part-shop/view/810/106/landcruiser/landcruiser-fzj80-8-92-12-97/90310-36003-seal-inner-axle-rear-landcruiser-75-78-79-80-105-series-12-97
Shade tree style mechanic, Don't need no stinking' torque wrench, no need to remove any grease from the brake disk and of course most important. Don't use the recommended Moly Grease...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not a hater, buy why teach it wrong?
What an excellent down to earth video. Can you tel me what type of grease you put in the swivel hubs please. l read in one of the other replies that you supply Terrain Tamer Swivel hub Kits. Can you give me contact details so l can contact you regarding this. TIA
Been looking at buying my first 4x4, kind of narrowing it down and then I watched this clip. You can fix this thing with a (small) sledge hammer, now I kinda understand why Toyota's get such respect. I can see a troopy on the horizon. Bit more research to go though.
This is an excellent video, and my go to instruction for working on my ute's front wheels. I think the under-appreciated bit of equipment in this video is the car hoist. What a joy it would be to be able to do this work standing up, with parts easily accessed instead of lying in the dirt unable to get into position to access bolts. I think this goes part way to explaining why an hour long video instruction takes me the better part of a day to complete at home.
Abraham Pitman it took two days to film. I’ve come a long way from working on my own driveway in the dirt where there was a shed not far away but the roof was so low you couldn’t lift the bonnet. It’s taken me 20 years to achieve this. Keep on keeping on mate and work hard and you can do anything.
Car hoist is the "secret weapon", I was working under my car changing the oil or something like that and a hammer fell off the bonnet latch support area in the middle of the grille area and hit me fair square in the "Jatz crackers", I then promptly head butted the front cross member and vowed that that was the end, no more groveling around on a wheelie board in the dirt, I got me a hoist............. one of the best tools I ever bought for the shed. Great video mate, excellent, very informative no rubbish. I liked the donning of the safety glasses at the appropriate time, perfect, you've got my vote
Great no bullshit information, no torque wrenches, no presses, no resistance scales. Just plain old experience, feel & no how. You gave me the confidence to use my normal tools & get the job done, thanks alot!!
You have no idea how useful this video has been, great work mate! Gave me the confidence to work on my own car.
This was the best video on how to replace/repair the swivel hub components. Thanks to you, I felt confident to do it myself and succeeded replacing the CV joint and bearings on my 78. Thanks Heaps.
Mate, thanks for that. You should definitely post more content, that was really excellent. No bullshit music, just really good info. Thanks again.
Mate you are a legend. Just saved me $800 and I get to buy a few tools you used which I don't have :)
Thanks a lot , its great to see someone who knows what he's is doing. learned a lot from this video
Hey mate, brilliant video, I reckon I have enough confidence to do my own 75 now, save me frigging 100's on labour. Your the kinda bloke I could have a beer with, cheers mate!
Thanks for this video, even though I'll be working on a Patrol there are tips you've mentioned here that has taught me a lot.
Just done my swivel hubs and bearings used this vid along the way very helpful thanks for the how to mate
44min. great idea using the old races to knock the new ones in. never thought of that. cheers!!!
Great video Mr Dangerfield, thanks
Awesome vid, very informative. I need to do the CV's on my HZJ79 so while I'm in the guts of it I'll do a swivel rebuild at the same time.
Appreciate taking the time to put this together. Cheers bud. (Wouldnt get this from patrol owners)
Cheers for the informative video mate learnt heaps, doin us Aussies proud

Thanks a lot for your vid, finally I was able to do it myself on my Hilux. Cheers
Yea wicked death wobbles coming your way with that shimming method
Haven’t had a problem ever. Out of all the views and comments you’re the first to bring that one up. Works for me.
Insanely helpful!! Thank you mate!
Excellent video very professional
Should have used Moly grease in the Birf and packed in the hub housing. Wheel bearing grease in the wheel bearings.
Great Work Bud, you should do a vid on cleaning the intake manifold on a 1VD-FTV.. would help a brother out...
Scott M I've actually got a product now that removes all the carbon without needing to remove intake
Troopy Tech what product is it bro?
Interested in the cleaning product, installed a catchcan today have 215k on the clock. Must have a good amount of buildup.
@@troopytech9467 Awesome video Troppy Tech....where can i buy this product to clean the build up in the manifold? Cheers Jim
Awesome video mate! At least i know i have been doing my bearing races right all this time too lol
Thanks for the video, learned quite a bit

You are one excellent helpful Lad, thank you.
Great video mate . You should do one on dirtbike rebuild
Great stuff mate ty for your effort and time showing cheers
I use a couple of old studs, or bolts with the heads cut off, to temporally hold the spindle gasket, spindle, backing plate etc in place until I got a couple of bolts in.
Didnt know you were a Utube star Simon, Ill be comin to see you for a valve clearance job soon. Cheers mate
thanks for the video it has assisted me so much
Did you share more of your secrets in a latter video of how to replace the bearings not just the repack?.. if so please share the link. Thanks,, !! Great video and l love your style
For beginners the only sketchy part is the last bit with the locking mechanism for diff lock
great video mate, very informative and detailed
Awesome video mate. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the video and useful tips.. 👍

Thanks, very informative and I enjoyed the video!
there should be more mechanics like yourself, sick of mechanics poking around with hand and googling with the other. awesome camera man
Thanks for the video, learned a lot . Thanks.
Awesome.. know what to expect made my life easier
G Day from Montana! Great vid:)
Great job! how often you do this job?
Great video mate.
In this model, the balance bar of the car is removed ????
love your work ,thanks
I like it a lot man thanks
Thanks so much for making this vid!

Ripper video cob bloody well done, what’s the rough time per corner?
Any tips on how to tell when the housing bearing needs replacing?
@@unpaved7040 drop the tie rods and turn the swivel left to right. If it’s notchy it’s time
Great video 👍👍👍👍
top quality video mate
Thank you mate
You dont have to remove the top swivel hub bearing pin it just swivels of .
Just a good thing for people to see
@@troopytech9467 Fair enough.
Great video
Awesome vid mate. Watched a dew of your vids and im spewing u dont make them anymore. Doing this tomorrow wish me luck.
Do u put ur lockers in to stop when the cv slides into the diff for dropping
Very nice video! Do you have one for the bj40 landcruiser? I have to do this work on one from 1976
Thanks legend
Thanks for the video. What kind of grease did you pack the swivel hub with? Castrol LMM?
Great job bro
...i want to know how to lock a hub nut front .and how tight should it be ?
58nm
Use a brass drift to hit the face of the nuts to get the cone washers out.
Michael Atkin soft ace hammer does no damage. I’ve done thousands in the last 15 years
Mate do you have a wiring drawing for freewheel hub LJ-78
I real real like now I can able to manage even for my self♡♡♡♥
Awesome vid mate. Where have you got your workshop located.
Thanks for sharing
Cms4x4 on fb mate
cheers mate
is it worthwhile cleaning all the buildup off the swivel hubs when doing a general clean up of the underbody, or does it help water ingress?
Just a thing I do
I'm doing this tomorrow. The dirt and grease is caked on hard as hell like cement on the outer hub housing (worse than the VDJ in ya vid). Did you use a wire wheel to remove the bulk first?
Is that Scomo's ginger cousin?
Hey mate, how often would you recommend to regrease the swivel hubs on the VDJ79R Cheers 🍻
When putting back together and the shitty little split washer won’t reseat can you advise what the issue may be the axle shaft won’t pull back far enough
Send a message to our Cms4x4 page on Facebook and I’ll walk you through it
exact same as an 80 series
Hi your video was great but I had a major fail the ball bearings fell out and bits of metal everywhere. My axil was OK do I replace the pice that fits into the cv joint or will it be OK
Send me an email admin@cms4x4.com.au

Do you need a knuckle assy?
Yes sir at affordable prices so that I may able to sell here in Kenya
Gday troopytech
Same same for a 75 series ute? Gonna do it in a couple of weeks and replace wheel bearings aswell. Great video by the way.

Great video thanks for posting. Would this be the same steps for a 1982 hilux?
Matt Hill I'm not sure mate but I'd think it would be in the ball park
Thanks. Ill give it a go then. Your video will be a big help.
quick question the lower steering arm stud is there any alternative way to tight the stud with double nut?
Stud removal and installation kit
What grease ya use mate?

Spruce Moose same but different
What kind of axles front and rear are in these trucks? Are they dana axles or something different?
Ken MacMillan I'd just call them landcruiser axles.
Ok thanks. I was just curious whether Toyota built their own or bought them like most trucks here in the states.
Where in Vic are you based?
seal bearing???
can worn kingpin bearings cause negative caster?
f14hot most definitely
You a buy a kit with bearings, gasket and more and what code is??? Or a buy individually.
