Early HDJ81 Wheel Bearings

[pHarps]

I know the rear brakes are different on early HDJ81s (1991), but do they share bearing with the LX450 and 80 series?

And does anybody have those numbers handy (I'm not at my computer and don't have the Chassis Manual nor the EPC)?
I can't seem to find them in a search.

I'd like to find Koyo bearings, but might have to settle for what I can get at Napa for the short term.

Thanks,
Harps

The full float axles use a different bearing, actually 2 bearings, on each side of the hub. Here's the semi float.

I just had my 1991 HDJ81 in for inspection and the rear brake numbers matched the 1993 and newer fj80. The mechanic thought the rear diff had been swapped not realizing that all Japanese models came with the full floater rear end

As for the bearings I just pulled this of toyodiy for a 1991 hdj81, hope its what you are looking for: Link to page

By the way I am also located in Lethbridge and just purchased a HDJ81. So PM me if you want to meet. Always good to know other owners in the area

HDJ81's have full float rear axles for all years.

I always forget about ToyoDYI- wish it showed diagrams, it would be nice for accessing it on my work computer.
Then again, I shouldn't be using my work time for this...

Thanks again!

Not all JDM's came with full floaters.

I've never heard of an 81 that didn't, although ToyoDIY shows both types.

Some GX models HZJ81V do.

Radd or EBI will have them in stock.

You will also need a special tool to properly take off and set your wheelbearing preload.
If you do not do this correctly your wasting your money as your bearings will wear out prematurely.
You'll get a seal kit too while your at it.
Never seize on the cone washers after, a blow torch and a brass drift to pop those stubborn suckers off. Have fun.

Radd will have this tool roughly $70


Get a knuckle pull scale while your at it.

So much to do and learn!

I think I will take them over to the ex-toyo mechanic here in town.
He has his own shop and knows his stuff!

BJ71- I'll flip you a PM.
