Hope never to need to do this job on the side of an outback road as I won't have a rattle gun or a huge breaker bar or crowbar, tub of grease, spare seal, etc etc. Definitely one for when I am in the comfort of my driveway. 😀 Nice job, thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!
With the ratchety spanner, most models have a different colour or a groove in one side to indicate which side is which. Not as bad as a USB though - I usually get it wrong, flip it, realise I was right the first time, flip it again!! :) Welcome back home - enjoying your latest travel series. Thanks for the tip on changing the CV - might have to add one to the spares box. Makes more sense than being stuck in the bush. For a temp repair on a boot, I'd probably use the trusty duct tape until I got home.
I’m the same with the USB mate, get it wrong, flip it, realise I was right the first time😂. Good tip on the ratchet spanner. Mine actually have an arrow engraved on them indicating the direction and I still manage to get it wrong most times...maybe I should actually look at the arrow first before guessing🤔😂. Re the boot, I’m with you mate, duct tape for the win for a temporary repair😎👍
Thanks Craig, if you don’t have scrubbies, I’m sure there is a spot under the bonnet somewhere that you could hook a strap. You will not have any problems completing the job with a floor jack mate, I’m just very fortunate to have a hoist after many decades of crawling around on the ground myself 😉😎
G’day Terry Ops.. you are already back at home…. Damned time runs…. Seems you didn’t changed the other side drive shaft… must have a good reason for it… I guess…. Hope that drive shaft was made in Australia….and will last… Hope all well you both after the trip. Yes, it’s Saturday night, watching your vid …. Nice enjoyment after a 8 hours trip to Guangzhou city ..for business… Greetings from the Motherland of copy artists Cheers
Yep, the CV's are brand new, remember I had them both replaced in Perth when I did the tyres only a few months ago. Did not replace the other side because of this. Enjoy the copy artists!
How about timing hey! I recently bought new nut, seal and CV joint for my 4.7 200 due to the same problem. Just wanted to say thank you for the video Jaffa!! Very straight to the point, informative and engaging. I feel much more confident getting stuck in next week, thank you!
Thanks mate, that circling positioning makes a big difference in getting the little sucker to seat in the diff. Will be a while on the FJ45 yet, many more trip episodes coming next, including the CSR. Cheers👍😎
Thanks for the kind words Peter, I sincerely appreciate it. If I did not have scrub bars I am sure there would be some place secure in the engine bay that I could hook the ratchet strap to. Just pop open the bonnet and something will present itself. You can put a rag between the strap and the front guard to prevent it from marking the paint. Cheers😎👍
Awesome mate, glad you are enjoying it out there. This is vid 25 or 26 in the how to maintenance playlist, so there should be something for everyone there by now! Cheers
I replaced the fronts when I did the lower control arms, not because they were acting up, only because I had the opportunity and I spend a lot of time in very remote areas. The rears have not been touched👍😎
Hi Terri Thx for posting- I admire your ability to do these repairs. Based on the video’s title, the CV is the same for a LC200 and - 150 Prado? Is the CV the same for left and right? I am sure my old 1KD Hilux the L&R were different (and the hub nut was either 35 or 36mm?) Cheers
The replacement procedure is roughly the same between the two vehicles, but the actual drive shafts are different between the Prado and the 200. On the 200, the left and right sides are the same, I’m not sure if that is the case with the Prado. Cheers😎👍
those seals on cv joint at diff housing at $13.xx at supercheap (special order) or a bearing shop (usually in stock). different sizes left and right for some odd reason.
Yes indeed, left and right are different. I learned a long time ago that I will only use genuine for seals. Had bad experience with aftermarket and it’s a crap shoot, some are ok others are junk. For a few bucks not willing to take the risk. Go well mate😎
@martingraham3559 good stuff mate, I don’t think you will be disappointed. A lot more 200 stuff coming to the channel soon if that’s your scene. If not, thanks for stopping by 👍😎
Thanks for the kind words Jerry, I sincerely appreciate it. I just got mine off epray, they are about 35 bucks, a little exy but if you don’t have it, you are not even at the poker table👍😎
Just search Landcruiser 200 CV socket on Google, eBay, Amazon, wherever…it will come up. Alternatively, go into your local parts store and ask for a 39mm 12 point socket. Cheers
I had to do this on my previous 2004 120 GXL Prado as both inner boots had split near the CV shaft end of the boot (narrowest part of the boots) i thought it odd that both sides went at the same time and i ended up re-using my existing genuine Toyota CV's and just swapping out the inner boots & fresh CV grease rather than buying a whole aftermarket pair of CV's complete. I sold that 04 model and upgraded to 2007 120 GXL Prado (with Harrop diff lockers) and after owning that a couple of years just noticed the inner CV boots on that have have also split in the same place as the previous 04 model. It is weird that the inner boots are going vs the outer boots which are flexing more due to the steering articulation Yes i use my Milwaukee high torque rattle gun which gets those big nuts off with ease just like your air-driven rattle gun
Thanks... just finding a straight answer on what grease is a pain 😂 @@JafffaAdventures The video on Services have been a great help. Cheers again, and merry Christmas
Hi mate, what parts do you carry for the spare CV? I know the shafts are the same left and right but Toyota tell me the necessary seals aren’t? Do you have a parts list?
I just carry the spare CV when I’m traveling mate and will reuse the seals. The two outer seals that go into the back of the hub are the same left to right, the seals in the ends of the diff are different side to side. The part number for the left side is in the video, the part number for the right side will be in an upcoming video (I do not have it to hand now). Cheers👍😎
@@JafffaAdventures thanks Terry! I’ve always carried the CV although I’ve never seen how it’s changed. Figured I might at least come across someone who knew. Less complicated than I thought but I’ll need a bigger breaker bar!
Trying to find a 39mm in Beaudesert is asking the impossible. 7 shops in and no luck. Any ideas where to purchase, please? Oh, and apparently all of Oz is out of CVs at Toyota.
Yep, I could not find one at any bricks and mortar shop so I bought mine on epray. Plenty of suppliers on there. www.ebay.com.au/itm/255906036329?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=MxvsiYw7Quy&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=O_BQNXbERc6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Great video with no wasted time! Well filmed and perfectly explained!
Thanks Adam, I appreciate the feedback very much mate. I try and cut out the BS and keep things moving. Cheers👍😎
Thank you Jaffa it helps me too bushmech
No worries at all mate👍😎
First like and comment this time.
Well done Mr. T

Nice job, thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!
I agree mate, I’d rather do this in the driveway any day of the week. Thanks for watching 👍😎
Great video. Doing a cv replacement on my FJ Cruiser tomorrow. Good tip on the circlip!
Thanks mate. Yes, I have fought getting the diff end in before, and clocking that circlip makes all the difference. Cheers!

Scrub bars make the job easier by the looks. I'll just have to use a floor jack when the time comes
Good tech video mate

Thanks terry for the step by step.. as usual a great video. Steve

Good stuff mate, it’s reasonably straightforward and I’m glad you got a few tips here. Cheers👍😎
Excellent and easy to understand. Cheers!
Good stuff mate, thanks for sharing 👍😎
once again great advice, thanks Terry.
No worries at all Terry, glad you found some value here. Cheers!
Thanks, how to videos are very handy, thanks.
Good stuff mate, I think this is number 25 or 26 in my how to maintenance playlist now. More to come, but back to our trip next week. Cheers!
Gr8 vid Uncle Terry; as always !! Won't be looking fwd to this job tho 😞
No mate, it's a bit sucky but not difficult. Thanks for watching!
Another good one, done a couple my self and loved the circlip tip! Be keen to try it next time! Also hoping for a 40 series update soon!
Thanks mate, that circling positioning makes a big difference in getting the little sucker to seat in the diff. Will be a while on the FJ45 yet, many more trip episodes coming next, including the CSR. Cheers👍😎
Good stuff mate, I did 2 at once in VHC a couple of years ago. Cheers Steve
That’s rough mate, bet you were glad to get out of there in one piece👍😎
Hi Jaffa any tips in holding the hub assembly up without scrub bars. PS love your commandry you always make me laugh.
Thanks for the kind words Peter, I sincerely appreciate it. If I did not have scrub bars I am sure there would be some place secure in the engine bay that I could hook the ratchet strap to. Just pop open the bonnet and something will present itself. You can put a rag between the strap and the front guard to prevent it from marking the paint. Cheers😎👍
Great informative video for future reference on the 200, currently parked up by a river bank near Kununurra 👍
Awesome mate, glad you are enjoying it out there. This is vid 25 or 26 in the how to maintenance playlist, so there should be something for everyone there by now! Cheers
Have you had to do a wheel bearing yet? Mine are getting a bit grumbly and I find your vids very good to follow.

I also found the vid on the horn assembly witch sounds Ike a horn should it sound great, I’m in the process of ordering one right now
Cheers

Great vid and explained well as always. Where did you get your 39mm socket from. Keep up the good work. Safe travels.
Thanks for the kind words Jerry, I sincerely appreciate it. I just got mine off epray, they are about 35 bucks, a little exy but if you don’t have it, you are not even at the poker table👍😎

Searching for a video...
Might be a good idea for you,
Grease Gun and doing driveshafts and UCAs ect.
Can't find a lc200 one.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’m doing that very job in about 1500km so if I have the camera out I will catch it all. Cheers👍😎

Hi Terry, genuine Toyota CV only?
Yes Steve, I would not use any aftermarket CV, genuine only👍😎
But, but, but what about the damaged boot replacement?
Will save that for a future video mate, back to the trip episodes next week. If that's not your jam, check back in a few months. Cheers
No! I don't own a 200 series, BUT !! have you been working on an exhaust Terry? 😉
Sure have mate, twin stacks on the 45 from Beaudesert exhaust. They came up mint👍😎
You sneaky bugger!!@@JafffaAdventures
Too funny....LOL
Need a better Ryobi, they make them up to 1600nm now
I’ll get one if mine ever dies😉😎
