Not enough clearance even if you cut the allen wrench at the bend. Vice grips approach unsuccessful. Bolts totally frozen to nut . Removed it by chiseling the heads of the socket bolt. Lots of pitting and corrosion.

Drill a 3mm hole thru the back of the hinge tube towards the pin, you can smack away at it to dislodge rust and dirt which can now fall out the hole then use a pointy grease gun to lube it up. Plus 2 for Kroil. I did this on my hood hinges as well and also door hinges - drill the hole where it...

That’s a great idea. Thank you. 🙏

Trying to refurbish it. As aforementioned would like to adapt a grease fitting to keep it from seizing.

1982 FJ40; The front bib hinge is held down to the 1st cross member by two socket head screws that sit under the hinge pin, making it impossible to engage an allen wrench to remove it . I there anyone that can tell me how to remove the bib hinge from the cross member ? I thought about grinding...

BTW, the compressor is a YORK,( now TCCi) F210R model-1680, primarily used on F55.

VIN Jt3fj40c7c3353272 2L 8 (Just sent the carburetor out for rebuild today) Just for reference, I found a picture of the vacuum tube union , (88645A catalog/PN# 90404-51038), where the vacuum for the up idle comes out of the intake manifold and brake boost connection to VSV “magnet valve”...

Thanks, that would make a lot of sense. Perhaps the installed a/c with an old York compressor was dealer installed, rather than factory?

Thank you for your response. Seems like this is part of the AC system. But , I’ve looked for the connection where it would take off the brake booster pump port by cylinder 5/6. And “no joy”. I can’t find a VSV with an empty port as well. If you or anyone has pictures of the VSV and port, I would...

AC, air-conditioning I presume. My FJ does have a factory air. But , as you can see, the idle up is plugged. I’ve search the emissions/ carburetor schematics and can’t find any reference to where this gets connected to, if it gets connected.

Can anybody help me identify this carburetor component on my smog equipped 1982 FJ40

11/28/2025 Just got kit from CCOT. Still same problem with fitting to my 1982 FJ40 , as described since 2015! I am not modifying my frame nor making modifications on a kit that supposedly sold as a replacement. Instructions are incomplete, inaccurate as are the individual parts. CCOT claims...
