""Make sure you remember to bend the locking tabs down on BOTH BIG NUTS when you put it back together."" I thought the lock ring was between the spindle nuts. How can you lock both when it is in between? Is this an optional method?

Don't know how I came up with 1/8 of play, was going on hour 18-19 or so, a little loopy, I guess.

end play Kernal, If I put the stub shaft in a vise(padded of course) and put the bare stub shaft back in till it's snug, I can move the spider along the axis of the stub, about .03"/.75mm. Is this amount of play normal? Thanks

Okay, was planning to pull an all-nighter and get my birfields split and swapped on axle shafts. I separated them fine with PVC pipe, but, the retaining rings were not I was expecting. The local Toy dealer gave me retaining rings that look just like the retaining ring for the birf where it comes...

While at Pep Boys to get a remote starter, I tried both starters and they worked there. Installed the old starter and tried the remote and it worked. I think I'll just go with the rebuilt Denso.

alt bolt (hey, that rhymes!) Nak, thanks for the diagram, it will help a ton, my store bought manual is about worthless sometimes. I will try my local NAPA, but, brought home some metric all thread and nuts to build one if I have to for now. I don't have any mo Broncs at the moment, although my...

Hey Guys, Glad I found this site. Love my LandCruiser a ton, and this is coming from a vintage Bronco devotee. Anyhow, I had a new cylinder head installed late last summer and evidently my EXXXX mechanic installed the alternator bolt improperly. The belts shredded on my wife yesterday and I...
