Brother if you put ads in your video I’ll watch every one of them just to help y’all out. This was great. I don’t even need to rebuild my knuckles but I watched the whole thing because you know what you’re doing, and it’s always fun watching someone like that.
5 years later and your videos have been extremely, extremely useful. Getting ready to replace suspension, rebuild the knuckles, and fix the parking brake. Not an inexpensive job, but you’ve saved me so much money since I’ve got my 80 by being able to do all the work myself so far (knock on wood)
Between the savings and the satisfaction of doing my own work on it, I can’t thank you enough!
Just finished one side. Took me all day. Hopefully faster on the other side. Thank you for this great video!!
Man, the new camera and lights work GREAT!
One of the best things to hear in your vids. "Whoever was in here last..." Always fun to hear what comes next.
Gday from Australia, I started watching this, and I couldn’t stop watching! You made it seem so easy to undertake. You explain things so well, your attitude and manner towards your audience is unbelievable , thank you for such an informative and interesting video! If only other people could hold an audience as well as you do!
Another Aussie here... couldn't agree more. I'm about to do my knuckles on the FJ80, and this took all the worry I had about tackling the job away. Mind you, I don't know that I'll be as quick.
You can always trust the otram Channel for great videos.
I’ve done this rebuild several times but still use him as my wing man.
He helped me through my head rebuild as well.
Love your channel, and honestly appreciate the time and effort you put into giving us these instructional vids.
Hope you are well my guy!
I would almost drive all the way cross country to your shop to have you do work on my 80. Techs like you are rare...detailed and thorough, and worth every dollar. Thanks for all your vids!
Thanks for posting the video, you have some VERY LUCKY customers to have you as their Tech.
I can't wait to start turning nuts and bolts on my 80. Thank you for your time and sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for your help. Done my first knuckle rebuild on my 1994 model over the weekend. After watching your video i got myself full knuckle rebuild kit with all new bearings. Played your vid as i pulled everything down & re assembled. Very helpful and made the job very easy. Cheers from Australia.
I have probably watched this 10 times. LOVE IT. I waffle between doing it myself or getting it done by a pro like you. Ballpark cost if you only have to repack them and ballpark if you have to replace the birfs too. '97 triple locked w/ 276k on it. It's time to do them. :)
Between the FSM, 2nd Gear Lows video and your informative video, this should be a breeze on my HDJ81. Thank you for posting!
Thanks from Australia mate... This is a job (as a DIY mechanic) I wasn't prepared for, until I watched your brilliantly simple explanation video. It's going to be a lot less painful than I thought. Loved the clear steps, and the warnings about the little pitfalls guys like me might fall into.
The best and most informative knuckle rebuild video! Fantastic
Thanks a lot for that, I have the seals on both sides to do, I did the bearings about 4 years ago, so hopefully it will be a walk in the park, at the moment a restoration firm has my big girl, taking the body of the chassis for a shotblast and paint up and some fabrication on the front wings and inner wings, she's a 1994 and I've had her 21 years.
I just repacked my Birfields, installed new wheel and trunnion bearings. Also installed spindle studs, drive flange studs, etc. It took me a long time but this video was crucial and I can’t emphasize enough how helpful this was. I also used the wits end axle seal driver for the inner axle seals and it worked perfectly. The wits end knuckle diagram poster was also very helpful. I would also suggest watching exactly the manner in which he does things as well as absorbing the narrative.
I've got the Wit's End poster in my office. It's art and helpful!
Subscribed. Thanks for this.. still getting to know my dirty 80
Ive not done this job for 34yrs since I did my s2a Landy. very similar. Nice reminder of the days.
I cant tell you how valuable these videos are to me! Thank you!!
Many years ago I "helped" Ryan rebuild the knuckles on my 1970 FJ40. Ryan is a fantastic and patient teacher and I learned so much from him over the years. He has extraordinary talent. Thanks Ryan for everything.
Thanks Dave, we were talking about you guys over the weekend. Angelle asked why I don't eat portabella mushrooms. Told her the only time I've ever had them where they were good was when Barb made them😃
@@OTRAMM Ha! We just had them this past weekend! They are awesome.
I had to strip out the Knuckle on mine, Because of a Broken lower Stud on the Knuckle... This was a great Vid for pointing me in the right Direction, Easy job to be Fair..... Thanks for the Vid
Impressive. A very thorough job. Appreciate it as a non-mechanic but an LC 80 owner.
Dude you are the replacement to a service manual. Thank god i found your chanel, you have my support bud.
Great video. I followed it to the letter. My axles were worn so I bought the inner seal driver offset from Wits End and it worked like a charm. One side note. I used the heavy duty plastic bag that my new rotors came in as a bakers bag. I put in a full can of the cv joint grease and piped it into the knuckle just like decorating a cake.
That's an awesome idea!
Soy de Argentina y tengo una hdj80 y me fue muy interesante tu trabajo, y bien explicado para los jóvenes que quieren hacer mecánica. Suerte con tu tarea. Saludos.
Great reference for knuckle maintenance on the 80 series. Wish this video was around when I tackled this job
Thank you so much Sir for alleviating all worries of "how to do it yourself". Your patience and detailed explanation are priceless. You could have done all the work in a half of the time you spent for us on the video, you chose to see the joy on someone's heart and face by minimizing the cost in many ways. What a kindness! Thank you.
Great video, as a licenced mechanic myself in Australia , your video was spot on, would love to come and work in your workshop
Thanks, should you ever make your way to VA, pop in for a visit.
im prepping for my rebuild whats the two different greases i need ? also you shoild do a differential rebuild vid 😉
Thank you so much for doing these videos!
Great video. A real pro in 80 series repair.
Ryan did this for my 80. Amazing job, so smooth.
Great video. Just completed a knuckle rebuild and your video was awesome. Thanks
It was the details that were most helpful for me eg. The star washer ears being folded one forward, one back to lock each nut and the use of a tie rod puller- my new favourite tool. A very helpful video, you are very skilled and it shows through. Thankyou for posting.
Just acquired a 1997 40th anniversary and it looks like I will have to do this shortly. Nice to know that you guys are only an hour away from me!
Honestly, I could watch you pack bearings for ten minutes 😂
I like the old closed knuckle jeeps that bathed everything in gear lube
Truly apricate for such helpful video we are watching from New Zealand
Man i love to watch your 80 series video thy are amazing.
great tip on threading the studs in to get everything to line up and keep the gasket in place.
I have rebuilt my 80 series front end at least 3 times and there are only two things I do differently to you.
I have the factory diff locks so i engage the front one before removing the axles. The other difference is that I don’t disconnect the tie rod joint. Never seen the need for that. A good video with lots of why information that is helpful for newbies.
Pulling the tie rods isn't absolutely needed. We do it just to make cleaning everything easier.
Awesome video! I wish I would've had this when I was doing mine. Even with all the info online I still had questions, all which you answered in this video. For example the amount of grease to use (yes, I know it's 2/3 of the knuckles but my 2/3s could be different from yours, etc) so having an actual amount like 1 tub is great for someone that's never done it before. Another one is that you're supposed to use moly grease for the trunion bearings, when doing mine I ended up taking a guess and using red wheel bearing grease. While I don't think it will hurt anything, I always like knowing I used the right stuff. Maybe one day I'll take it apart, clean, and re-grease them with the correct stuff. Good job and keep the helpful videos coming!
Man, I wish I lived in your city so you could work on all my vehicles - I'd even trust you to fix my appliances - great work!
Great video! Just finished my '96 and wasn't sure which way the rubber next to the filt was supposed to be. It's the little details here and there that makes this such a useful video. Thanks, greetings from Iceland.
Thanks heaps for the torque specs mate
I don't normally comment on videos but man was this helpful, you explained everything so perfectly thank you!!!!
Outstanding and appreciated!!! You make it look way less intimidating. Thank you!
Great stuff from the uk.keep them coming
Have just watched this again for about the 4th time ahead of doing my rebuild on the weekend. Thank you again for the most comprehensive instructional on this. Hands down the best on youtube!
Hi OTRAMM thanks for putting this video up I just did both swivel hubs in my 93 80 series cruiser. Couldn’t have done it without this very helpful and clear demonstration as a guide. Cheers from Australia 🍻
G'day Ryan, greetings from Australia, thank you for your outstanding instruction videos....amazing ! I have a 1995 80 series @ 220k km. felt very confident to tackle the job using your video as a guide. Job went very well following your steps.
Thank you.... Glen.
Fantastic video! Thank you very much for making such an effort to put this online. You are truly a master of your craft.
Used this video this weekend. Made an intimidating job easy
Been living the dream the last week doing just the front brakes on my turd. Wish mine was as rust free as this one haha. Needless to say, this vid has helped immensely with the process and removing confusion.
What a great job, and with editing too.
Love your videos
Watching this in September 2021! its a wonderful video and very information with every step of the process. Love it!
I couldn’t have done my birfields without your video. Great stuff. Your video is just under an hour ... took me a week and a half 😂
Great video, super helpful. Thanks!
this is the first time you are using hummer on a bearing ! and was very helpful thanks from kurdistan/ Iraq
You are a great guy very good information and great video about landcruisers important issues
Wipe off all the "shmoo" Ryan! Haha so excited to get into mine in a couple months! Just ordered my parts from cruiser brothers
I've got to call Cruiser Brothers tomorrow and order the knuckle kit for my truck along with a bunch of other parts.
@@OTRAMM badass I am pumped the stuff is made in Japan! That put me at ease
Great video and a job well done👍👍
Hey Ryan, this is Landcruiser Stash out in Oregon. Thanks for the work you’re putting in to do these! I’m designing a knuckle tool I’d like you to try out! Hope you and yours are well during these trying times 👍🍀✌🏻
What kind of knuckle tool? Like the factory one that pushed the caps out?
Good work 🎉 thank you bro 🌹🌹🌹
You are a legend for this video. Just bought a 94 cruiser and according to the shop I had wheels and tires done on, they couldn't align it (I pull about 15-20 degrees left to go straight) because they say the driver front wheel is being pushed right by the king pin knuckle. I am super ignorant to all of this stuff right now and so had no idea what they're talking about. This video has helped me entirely understand the structure of the knuckle now. However, I still am confused as to how this could be pushing the wheel to the right like they say..
I don't know how the knuckles could cause a pull unless the bearings are either way too tight or loose. Even then I'd think it would wander rather than pull. I'd check and see if the left caliper is sticking.
@@OTRAMM I also wonder if it could be the tie rods being too short/tense?
It's a solid axle so adjusting them adjusts both wheels equally.
@@OTRAMM I believe it's my steering stabilizer shock. It's a Rancho RS5404. Passenger side joint looks like its really tense being pulled right. The stabilizer bar is also slightly pulled right. This shock is not adjustable. How do I go about correcting this? New shock with longer compression and extension lengths?
Mate your videos are so helpful. I’ve used a few now for my dads 80 Series.
Thank you
I call fluke both times on getting those birfeilds to go over the snap rings onto the axle,i've battled for hours sometimes to get them on, and off also using the pipe method to just plain beating on them with a hammer.another informative clips thanks.
It was definitely a fluke. I've had them battle me enough that i give up and turn them over to Crash in the past so he can do them.
Watched your video and mine doesn’t even need rebuilt. Lol thank you!!
Excellent as usual! A much needed video for the cruiser community.
Very good explanation and good camera work.
yes great! So simple …and really helpful!
Incredibly helpful video Ryan. I've never attempted something like this and your information gave me the confidence to try it. It took me a big full day to do both sides, but I couldn't be happier. I bought the Wits End axle seal driver from Joey, glad I did, because there was a groove in my axles. You may have mentioned it, but my only scary moment was when I thought I lost the spring on the back of the axle seal inside the axle housing, I did find it though. It was helpful for me to have the photocopied the exploded view schematic with torque specs and tape to the fender while I worked. I couldn't get the birfields apart, but a can of brake cleaner and a power washer got everything clean. I also used your video for my front main seal, oil pump gasket, and distributor o-ring. That went great also. Thanks again.
Awesome, glad they were helpful.
Cool tip to not remove the top cap and shim; saves time and you won't lose or mix up the shim.
This is a great video, evrey thing you need to know to complete job, well done keep up the good work, and go the 80 series
Great video as usual. As I am about to take delivery of a beautiful 80 series land cruiser, this video will serve me well in the future I am sure.
You do such great work thank you for your videos.
Really great presentation! You state the information and not a whole bunch of add-on garbage info like others feel compelled to do.. Also, what kind and thickness gloves have you found to work best for dexterity and tear-resistance? Thank you…
I rarely wear gloves. I should but haven't found any I can stand. When I do wear them I use the orange 8mil nitrile from I think glove works
Great video!!
You make this look so easy. I'm half way tempted to tackle this... I have no mechanical skill.
It's not terribly difficult. More messy than anything. Getting the wheel bearing preload is the hard part of you haven't done it before.
Very nice job and tools ,thanks a lot 👍.
Just for fun this will cost me more than 400 usa$ in local workshops here in jeddah saudia arabia but i will do it myself after i saw your video and save a lot of money 🌠
Thanks mate subscribed.
Putting your tutorial in the Gold category.
I've done this job a lot and this is a good video.One thing I highly recommend (And not sure why he hasn't done this? ) is replace all king pins studs, Nuts and cone washers also a drop of loctite on King pin studs inside the swivel hub as 80 series are common for the king pin studs to loosen and we don't want that on the track.
I prefer to just check the torque regularly. I've had several come through the shop that had the studs loctited to the knuckle. When those studs broke they were a huge mess to get out of the knuckle. Non loctited studs spin out freely when they break. The nut hugger from Wits' End is the best looking solution. Positive retention without locktite.
@@OTRAMM have you had much trouble with the little bolts on the back of the hub snapping.a bit of heat depleats the loctite and I do mean a little bit haha
The bolts for the wipers? We've had a few broken. Seems to be from folks cross threading them.
Hey, just in time for me to do mine. Thanks again for a quality video.
Thanks from 2021))
