When I got my Land Cruiser in 2002 I drove something Like 48000 the first year. It was already out of warranty! I go into the Toy dealership on a Saturday morning for a $25 oil change. The guy taking the car in says "we got a brake special for $99 today, you want to do that?" I said, yeah, go for it, even though it didn't need them. Go to pick it up and it's like $800 bucks at the cashier! I'm like WTH! They said, we replaced Rotors, pads, bearing. The whole nine yards. So they kinda bowed up like I owed them $800 or so. We had a discussion and I walked out after some time, some arguing and writing a check for $125. I have just recently done the bearings, calipers, fluid everything, front and back and it's a job. Seems a lot harder that I remember doing the Job on My Datsun 240Z or Porsche 930!
Awesome channel & videos. Please continue the DIY videos on the Land Cruiser for sure. I’m thinking of making the Land Cruiser my next daily driver & these definitely provide simple step by step processes. Any specific recommendations on what to look for on LC purchasing in your opinion? Thanks
Thanks! Depends on what you plan to do with it. I wanted it mainly for the trails so I picked up one with a locker. If you want to drive around town maybe a later model with a 5th gear and more hp?
chowcares hmm... maybe a brake bleed video? Lemme think on some common things I’ve come across... Diff and transfer case breather extensions? Rear axle seals if yours are leaking? Valve cover gaskets if you need them? 3rd brake light reseal if yours is letting water in?
John Haley ahhh yup! I’ve done some of these but unfortunately didn’t get any footage. Valve cover gasket, breather extensions, and bleeding the brakes. Let me see if I can do a how to vid without actually doing them.
would this be the same one a 1996 Toyota landcruiser (not lexus)? the backwards approach getting the rotor off? having to deal with the flange and ridiculous axle nut stuff?
thank you for the detailed videos. How much is the total expense for the parts only? if you do not mind sharing. I have a 2001 land cuiser and i am planing to do the same work.
I put one of my brake pads inside out (stupid me) and it scratched the rotors so bad. I just changed the wheel bearing too so watching how to change the rotors is easy based on your videos. I hope my rotors didn't get stuck like yours!
Chow: So I don't really have the proper snap ring pliers for this but I can kindaaaaa... get it off and then use a screwdriver to get it.. ***TING*** &%$#!!!! Chow: Hunny, so while filming that video something happened to the lens on the camera and I gotta buy a new one now... ***Few days later*** Chow's Wife: Hey Chow... I had to sign for some big box today from Canon? Why does it have a special felt bag that says "Welcome to the Red Ring club" stamped on it??" Chow: Oh no reason hun!!! **giggles like a school girl**
Another good video and AWESOME tip on bearing removal. I am looking at doing the same in the near future (have to fix some of the issues the POs shop created) and debating on redoing the bearing (pretty sure I am going to). Got to get the hub flanges off and see what the splines look like on my axles as my hub flanges have lots of play in them.
Yea those tend to wear out on our trucks since they’re usually the original ones that came with the car. If you’ve gone that far, you might as well change them out.
@@chowcares Exactly... I hadn't planned on going that far but when I was able to pull both my dust caps off by hand and then found that there were ground down c-clips there instead of the proper snap rings (let alone proper width) I knew the backlash/preload on the axle nuts was probably not right either. So I have to go THAT deep already, might as well throw some bearings in there too. NOTE: Don't use 4WP for ANYTHING.
Nice video as always! The cone washers on mine have been giving me a lot of trouble. Gonna try to reattempt soon. Gives me a feeling that my rotors are probably stuck with the hub pretty bad. Mine's not from California originally. Thanks for the great info!
Thank you! Yea they’re a real pain in the a**. If the brass punch doesn’t work, try a steel one. Make sure you have the nit on there before you hammer. It will help center the punch and help the stud from being stretched
@@chowcares thanks! I sprayed some pb blaster during and after my last attempt. Just got a brass drift and a brass hammer. Hopefully I can get them this time. Any tips for a potentially stuck rotor?
@@chowcares oh thank God. I broke two studs on my rear passenger side, watched this and thought Holy shit I have to remove the entire hub to replace a stud????
Another video saved to the land cruiser to do play list. Great video Thanks!!
You’re welcome! Part 2 and 3 will be out shortly!

Best 100 series maintenance vids out there, nice work!
Thank you!!
Thank You very much 👍
You’re welcome!

wheres part 2 and 3???
You didn't put in new races with the bearings?
Nope.
Slack.
do I have to do the same for the rear bearing?
No, rear is solid axle
Note to Self, NEVER Buy a LAND CRUISER!!!
Thank you for the content! Basic maintenance videos for the 100 series are few and far between. Really appreciate the hard work and videos!
You’re welcome! Lmk if there’s any other 100 series items you’d like to see. I could always use some new ideas

You are the man my respect, do you by any chance have a shop?
Your videos are amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to show us how to work on our cars!
would this be the same one a 1996 Toyota landcruiser (not lexus)? the backwards approach getting the rotor off? having to deal with the flange and ridiculous axle nut stuff?
I believe it’s similar. Minus the whole axle stuff cuz solid front axles and birf
thank you for the detailed videos. How much is the total expense for the parts only? if you do not mind sharing. I have a 2001 land cuiser and i am planing to do the same work.
There are links in the discription of the video. There are prices and where to buy
What brand calipers did you use and where did you find them? I am replacing my fronts now on a 2000 LX470
the calipers are the originals that came with the car.
I put one of my brake pads inside out (stupid me) and it scratched the rotors so bad. I just changed the wheel bearing too so watching how to change the rotors is easy based on your videos. I hope my rotors didn't get stuck like yours!
Do you have the part number for those axle flange gaskets?
part number is 43421-60030. left and right is the same.
Sorry, the part number for the GASKET is 43422-60070. left and right are the same
This is extremely helpful. This is my first 4wd and changing the front rotor is more complicated than your typical vehicle.
I love when Americans/Canadians use Metric sizing. Makes it easier for us Australians hehe
Awesome 3 part series. Exactly what I needed to know to complete my bearing job.
Wow, thank you so much.
You’re welcome, have fun!
Thanks for all the 100 series maintenance vids! Will be subscribing!
You’re welcome!
Hey Chow! Love the vids. Saving me some money for sure and getting some confidence wrenching.
Do you know the part number for the bearing seals?
Spoke before I got to part 2 :)
Part number for seal: 90311-70011
Awesome! I knew I included them somewhere
Chow: So I don't really have the proper snap ring pliers for this but I can kindaaaaa... get it off and then use a screwdriver to get it.. ***TING*** &%$#!!!!

mizznfizz1 noted! Lol
Is the wheel bearings the same for driver and pass sides?

@@chowcares thanks! I sprayed some pb blaster during and after my last attempt. Just got a brass drift and a brass hammer. Hopefully I can get them this time. Any tips for a potentially stuck rotor?
okaypaolo put it upside down on a large piece of wood and lightly hammer opposite sides. Should come off
Is this process the same on the rear wheels?
Rears are a lot easier, just like regular brakes
@@chowcares oh thank God. I broke two studs on my rear passenger side, watched this and thought Holy shit I have to remove the entire hub to replace a stud????
Just picked one today so I’ll be watching all the videos you got on this suv. You seems to be the most consistent. Good job.
Did you resolve the clunking issue here?
Awesome so helpful!!!!!!!
Thanks!
