Lug studs only need to be pushed out on 60 hubs. 40 hubs just need to be forced due to rusting. -
rstoddard replied to the thread How to Separate Axle Hub and Disc Rotor?.Got it! Only one was stuck (welded together by rust). A Pry bar got them separated. The other just came apart without any effort by me.
-
I believe they are bolted together from the back side of rotor. Wheel studs are just through the hub flange irrc. Just rust welded together.
-
Any help on how to separate the Disc Rotor from the Axle Hub on a '78 FJ40? I took the bolts off the back of the Rotor (that I assume hold it to the Hub) but I can't figure out how to separate it from the Hub. Appreciate the direction!

Sometimes they do sometimes they dont . Only 3 things that can make it leak there cracked case, bad seal, grooved drum -
rstoddard replied to the thread Oil Leaking in Parking Brake (after replacing Speedometer Gear).The preload was already set (presumably) when the gentleman that rebuilt the TC installed the Hub and set the preload on the bearings. I think that is the preload you are referring to. From my understanding of the procedure, that is a...

rstoddard replied to the thread Oil Leaking in Parking Brake (after replacing Speedometer Gear).Isn’t the double seal supposed to address any groove wear by putting a second seal over a virgin part of the drum flange?
-
rstoddard replied to the thread Oil Leaking in Parking Brake (after replacing Speedometer Gear).Georg, I really appreciate your input. Yes, it seems to me that renewing the o-rings on the Speedo would have been a SOP, but it wasn’t done. At this point, I either lower the rear of the engine, or relocate the crossmember, to pull the drum...
-
rstoddard replied to the thread Oil Leaking in Parking Brake (after replacing Speedometer Gear).This might be the right time to relocate the crossmember, so I don’t have to keep dealing with this clearance issue.
-
rstoddard replied to the thread Oil Leaking in Parking Brake (after replacing Speedometer Gear).Because I have no clearance behind the brake drum and the crossmember due to the 4.5” adapter behind my SM420. I have to lower the rear of the engine to lower the TC to be able to get the drum off.
-
rstoddard replied to the thread Oil Leaking in Parking Brake (after replacing Speedometer Gear).I don’t “think” it’s coming out of the splines. I was told by Mark that if I sealed the washer at the end of the shaft, it would prevent oil leaking from from the splines. I had that leak before. That is what I did. It was my understanding...

rstoddard replied to the thread 1982 brake caliper rebuild questions.Nope. Discontinued.
-
rstoddard replied to the thread Oil Leaking in Parking Brake (after replacing Speedometer Gear).Well, first, the oil is leaking from the bottom of the brake drum. I can’t tell where it is coming from without removing the brake drum, which I can’t do without dropping the engine due to my clearance problem. So it’s not a trivial problem to...

rstoddard posted the thread Oil Leaking in Parking Brake (after replacing Speedometer Gear) in 40- / 55-Series Tech.@65swb45 @orangefj45 Is there any explanation for oil leaking from the rear brake other than from the rear seal of the Transfer? I recently rebuilt/replaced the Speedometer gear and o-rings, which is the only other thing that I can think of...

Amz has cheap MC bleeder kits. If you get one, get the one with clear hose. Easy to see when bubbles are gone.

rstoddard replied to the thread FJ40 Distributor Air Filter.Yeah…. It’s a small filter hidden behind the controller for the carb cooling fan, both. Both are behind the plastic vent that goes to the heater.

rstoddard replied to the thread FJ40 Distributor Air Filter.The PN is 17810-61010 (not 17801)
-
rstoddard replied to the thread FJ40 Distributor Air Filter.That's what the drawing shows too. I only have a single nipple (I'm only using one; there is a second one with plastic breather cap on the top of it). I don't see any place on the back side of my air cleaner to run a hose to from the...

Does anyone know what will work as an acceptable replacement for the '75-'80 FJ40 Cabin Air Filter for the Distributor (Toyota PN 17810-61010)? That is discontinued. If not, is it possible to clean out and rehabilitate an existing one? Can I...

rstoddard replied to the thread Can Anyone Explain the FJ40 Tandem Brake System to a Dummy?.I agree!!! Thanks especially to @MoCoNative and @BILT4ME for taking the time to provide such detailed explanations. It clearly helped more Users than even just me. I know I understand it all better.

While the others here have attempted to answer your question and have somewhat gone off the rails into other descriptions, it does not directly answer your question as to WHY the front reservoir is larger. It has entirely to do with hydraulic...

rstoddard reacted to MoCoNative's post in the thread Can Anyone Explain the FJ40 Tandem Brake System to a Dummy? with Like.
Realize on any brake master cylinder the reservoir is split in two. The early Toyotas have two separate reservoirs, but the later masters with one reservoir are just providing fluid to the two circuits in the same way. If you look into the...

When braking, weight is transferred to the front. Front brakes do most of the stopping and have more traction.
