I went to have the rear brake drums turned today at my tech school. They returned them to me after about 10 minutes telling me they couldnt find the specs on the drums.
Im assuming they were talking about the specs as to just how much you can have them turned or something like that. Would any...
Well... the FJ-40 rear is on my Patrol... ;)
Many Patrols met their fate due to the rear ring and pinion gears in the stock rear diff wearing prematurely... :(
The hex-head of the bleeder valve's corners are totally rounded. Un fact, so rounded, you cant even tell it ever had sides on it...
I was rummaging through my friend's tool cabinet and found a working propane torch, still in the box. Will that work?
After having rebuilt the wheel cylinders, I...
Okay, one of my bleeder valves will not come loose. When I got the rear axle, that one was stripped out. So far, Ive tried PB Blaster, Heat Gun, WD-40, Vise-Grips, and even a small pipe wrench with no luck...

Cruzer- Thanks... will see about some tomarrow...

What do...
Okay, Ive been told the seal I bought was the crush sleeve. Dont know where they get the name crush sleeve, but oh well... Which way does the slinger face?
Thanks!
2 more questions...
1. Which way does the slinger face?
2. Which is the crush sleeve? Is it the piece thats also referred to as the seal? Cause I dont see anything else...
