I have been trying to replace the A/C belt on my 1989 FJ62. I am at a complete loss as to how to fix the problem. I previously posted but have not been able to figure out how to get the tensioner for the A/C belt to work. The tensioner nut sits right below the power steering pump. Cannot...

A couple of days ago, I posted looking for information on how to change the a/c belt on my fj62. The problem I am having is getting to the tensioner bolt. To me it looks like it is blocked by the power steering pump and/or bracket. I cannot see how to get to it by any side. A response to my...

I am in the process of trying to replace the belt for my a/c unit. I am unclear as to how to get to the belt tensioner nut. From what I can tell, the nut is positioned right below the mounting bracket for the power steering pump. Getting to the nut appears to be very difficult. It appears...

I have a 1989 FJ62. The steering has had alot of play in it. I do not think this is normal for a cruiser. The cruiser has 172,500 miles on it and is in great shape. Although this is a very general question, what are the causes of this and is there any particular place to start with the...

https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=186056 Thanks for the reply. I am not good at linking stuff, but i copied the link that was given. I you look right below my post, there is another one titled "fj62 blower motor resistor" and the reply to that one gives you the link also and maybe...

Thanks for the quick reply. I did not know if I could just replace the resistors or if the whole unit had to come out.

As always, this site has all the answers. The blower/fan for my heater/AC will not work. All the speeds are dead. The first one went out some time ago and now all are gone. I read the recent post with the same problem and was linked to an old post which talked about the resistors down by the...

I have a 1989 FJ-62. Over the past few months when I start it in the morning, it runs very rough and wants to stall. In the afternoon, when its hot outside, this problem is not as pronounced. Any suggestoins on where to start troubleshooting this problem. As always, thanks for the help or...

I have a 1989 fj-62. The power lock lever has always been somewhat tempermental (have to hit it just right to have it engage/disegage door locks), but it will not work anymore. Please advise on how to troubleshoot. Also, if need be, how do you get the electric window/electric lock cover off...

I pulled my old radiator out of my 1989 FJ-62 and put in a replacement radiator. What is the standard "labor" or "shop rate" on this type of job? I am excluding any parts (etc.) in the price. I am curious on what I saved in doing it myself because I had to dismantle several pieces of the...

I appreciate everyone's help on my latest question re: radiator removal. The advice was great and the removal was relatively simple. Pull off headlight covers, turn signals, parking lights covers, etc. This made the removal go much faster. Removal of the battery tray was good advice also...

Thanks for the info on the radiator replacement. Where should I buy the radiator and what is a good price for a 1989 fj-62? By the way, what is the deal with the A/C condensor. Do I have to take it out or is it something I can work around? What type of time commitment is this job? As...

I have a 1989 FJ-62 with a small hole in the top of the radiator. I would like to replace the radiator on my own, but I am a little concerned about the time and expertise required. I would rank my mechanical skills as being average, but I have never undertaken such a project before. In...

Last week I posted re: horn problem. I put the shims in and did the fix as recommended. Works just fine and it was real easy. However, I do not know how much longer I can get out of the pin. It looks pretty worn. Anyway, I will probably want to replace it and the whole ring. How difficult...

You folks are really great for the quick replies. I am real new to this whole landcruiser thing. How far down do I have to go as far as taking the steering wheel/column apart? I have taken it down to the point where I think I need a puller to remove the wheel. Do I have to take the plastic...
