Check everything else carefully when you replace it. On my HZJ80, when the balancer separated, it bent the alternator bracket and ruined the AC idler pully. Damage was done before I knew anything was wrong. And this is a public service... -

Bambusiero replied to the thread question - why reverse cut front diff gears?.Oh - OK - so using the term "reverse cut" for the landcruiser front high pinion diff is only relative / compared to the "normal" of the low pinion rear diff, but that is completely normal for the front, and nothing special or reversed from normal...

Question to those more sophisticated in drivelines - was reading one of ZUK's narratives about an FZJ80 re-gear to 4.88. The 9.5" rear diff was conventional, but the 8"front diff gears were "reverse cut" - can someone explain? Thanks

Bambusiero replied to the thread Builds Airbagged 80 series on 42 inches. Low cost Russian build thread.I'll throw in another possibility - I just finished disassembling an entire 1995 (Ford) Lincoln Mark VIII rear IRS - There was a level sensor - that car apparently had air bag rear springs. After some youtubing - it had front air-struts (and a...

Bambusiero replied to the thread Coolant flush.You can think of a flush as a 2 part process. 1st part - dynamic washing - sweep away crumbs of crud out the dark corners it settles in - with fast moving hose water, from every flow direction you can arrange. 2nd part - purification - get rid...

Bambusiero replied to the thread Pinion Bearing, Crush Tube Questions.It's not at all true - what you said - that because the bearing races are seated into machined cast iron, so there cannot be any movement. Not true. Everything moves under pressure - everything, no matter how thick and strong, whether a tiny...

Bambusiero replied to the thread Builds Airbagged 80 series on 42 inches. Low cost Russian build thread.Really? 50 USD each is very inexpensive - I am surprised. At that sort of price - a full replacement every few years would be practical, when ageing is seen. I see a really cool possibility with the air springs, (with some kind of enhanced...

Bambusiero replied to the thread Rear window falling off track.Yup - Have this problem on one rear window right now - happened before - years ago. Was able to coax it back in place then - this time it will not budge! Tried everything I could think of. Window fixed in up/closed position - motor unplugged - no...

Bambusiero replied to the thread Builds Airbagged 80 series on 42 inches. Low cost Russian build thread.This is Brilliant! took me about 10 seconds to want the air bag springs! I wonder - what is the spring-rate at ride height? I suppose the spring rate would vary directly with ride height because of the air volume changing, but would be a fairly...

Bambusiero replied to the thread Cracks in my timing chain cover-why?.This make perfect sense to me, from decades of experience in the semiconductor industry. When a big customer has a field component failure, it has a negative effect on their reputation, so they often have procedures in place to have the component...

Bambusiero replied to the thread Painting sunroof garnish trim with SEM 17293.Nice to know about the SEM trim paint - BUT the brittleness is your sign - that plastic is at the end of it's useful life - will continue to crumble.
-
Bambusiero replied to the thread Cracks in my timing chain cover-why?.Agreed. Have seen the same on water pump housing - casting mold shrinkage - no concern. And this is a machining dig/scratch - not a crack - it's an even, smooth curve. A crack would follow a random grain boundary shape.

Bambusiero reacted to puddles's post in the thread A How To/ All you need to know about window channel/run replacement with Like.
I just replaced my window runs and found that the Max Ellery repair manual was helpful for the front window but not even close on the rear, so I thought I would put this together for anyone else having any issues with this or thinking about it...

Well this long project is finally done! This is all started when I noticed all my stock TREs were shot and leaking grease. I looked around at OEM TREs and didn't like the price. After a bit of research, I decided I would just redo the whole...
