If you're sure it'll be there for a long while and if most everybody is happy with the writeup, I'll put it in the FAQ.

Good stuff man!

Way cool job with pics and everything. I am inspired. Now all I think I need is the Hub SST and at least I can re-pack my own bearings and if anything else looks suspicious, change those rotors and pads.

BIG THANKS Boston Mangler

Is this hub SST the same as on the 80? I'm going to send all my 80 stuff to my brother, it'd be nice to know I have access to the correct SST.

100 TD · 05-15-08, 09:54 PM

One thing I didn't see (may be it's there?)
When doing the rear calipers, make sure you pull and regrease the caliper slides, not much point in fitting new rotors and pads and having the slide start sticking 5000 down the road and stuffing your rotors/pads

SST for the front hub (54mm 6-point socket) is the same for the 60, 80, 100 series, '95 and earlier 4runners/mini 4x4's. The new 4runner/FJC uses a pressed in sealed front bearing whereby the entire bearing and piece it's pressed into is replaced.

bluecruiser · 05-15-08, 11:07 PM

You can get "SST" at any auto parts store, like CHOW said it is just a big socket...mine was 16 bucks...works great...everything apart two times in a week (busted diff)...

hoser · 05-16-08, 12:02 AM

If you can't find 54mm, I think 2-1/8 will work fine too.

scottm · 05-16-08, 05:32 AM

Yeah, I've used my 2-1/8" socket to do my 80s, I'm wondering about the funky SST for the rear lockring on the 80. Is there a SST for the rear on the 100 to get to the bearings?

sleeoffroad · 05-16-08, 06:42 AM

100 is a semi floater rear end. No service to bearings. Only replace if they fail. That means remove axle and then press them off the shaft.
