    pulled rear axle-UPDATE

    Unfortunately my percieved leaky rear wheel cylinder has morphed into a leaking rear axle seal replacement instead. After reading on here all about the axle thrust spacer/pin/shim/locking C-clip info, AND looking in the FSM, I'm still curious about how these axle C-clips actually stay in the...

    '77 2F intake/exhaust mani's install sequence

    Now with my newly-welded original intake ready, and a new set of Remflex gaskets, with both mani's bolted together on the workbench, their surfaces appear to be lined up in the same (flat) plane for the head. Sooo, I wonder if it would be "better" to keep the 5 heat-riser bolts a just bit loose...

    '77 fj40 carb/intake "fun"

    After reading on this great forum about all the related issues & solutions for idling problems/ vacuum leaks, I felt I need to investigate. Sooo, upon carb removal, I look down the in the plenum, and lo and behold, I find what the PO had done! Booger welds galore! And a crack still growing. See...

    Question- Battery tray (carrier) two sizes?

    Does anyone know if the OEM LONGER (12.5" vs. 10.75") "carrier" will will bolt up and fit in place on the stock support where the original factory installed one is the shorter version? I ask because they seem very similar except for one is just 2" longer, I assume just to accept a bigger battery...

    Rear heater hoses unneeded-remove?

    My '77 40 has the original factory heater hoses that travel along the passenger side Trans hump, then cross over to under the driver's seat, where they tie together via a metal tube, completing the "circuit". Now, there is no evidence of ever having a rear heater, and I wonder about a few...

    dual brake wheel cyl.'s- why?

    I'm wondering why, on a simple vehicle like my '77 fj40, did Toyota feel the need to put TWO wheel cylinders on the rear brakes? Rear brakes typically contribute a small amount of stopping power anyway, especially with front discs, so what's the deal?

    '77 fj40 rear view mirror removal?

    OK guys, this might be the stupid question of the day, but how in the H3ll does one get the center-mounted rear view mirror off it's mounting base? There's no visible little allen set-screws, it wiggles just a little bit, but I'm afraid to muscle it. Any suggestions? :confused:

    brake pressure switch threads?

    Does anyone happen to know what type & size of the threads are on those 2 pressure warning switches that hang down the bottom of the master cylinder? I'm referring to my '77 fj40. I thinking of removing them as there's no wires anymore from the PO, and they're leaking from their centers (not the...

    '77 fj40 windshield question...

    I've bought the OEM windshield channel seal that goes around the glass edge in anticipation of replacing the windshield. Now I see on some part source places, a "spacer" item listed as well. WTH is this for? Is it for some other application? I saw it listed on one website for about $180...

    Speedi or not?

    Well hell, I've just pulled my E brake drum my '77 40 off to inspect the shoes, figuring I probably would need a speedi Sleeve cause the drum would drip a drop occasionally on the floor. After much trouble getting that damn staked nut off, the drum came off easily, and to my surprise, the drum...

    '77 40 parking brake silly(?) question...

    This may be a dumb question, but is it possible to have the P/brake drum "turned" like is done on service brakes? It seems to me the splined hole might make it difficult. If possible, has anyone done it? Is it even worth the effort?

    carb secondary now works!

    My '77 40's stock aisen carb secondary wasn't working since acquiring the 40. After reading all the good info here, I did the paper clip test which verified that. So after pulling the secondary diaphragm assembly off the carb, and verifying a good diaphragm, I saw what appeared to be a small...

    SOR new window regulator problem

    I've recently replace both regs in my '77 40, along with all the other felts, guides and related door stuff. The problem is on the passenger side only- after carefully installing it, I noticed a "glitch" when rolling DOWN the glass. A hesitation, like it was hitting/interfering with something...

    Igniter experts- what are these loose wires?

    Hey all- my '77 40 has these wires hanging loose on the igniter. The 3rd male connector at the bottom is from a condenser which is tied to chassis ground. I figure (maybe) one of these hanging female connectors are for plugging into the condenser upon igniter failure (?) And the other one?

    Hey there suspension experts- My all-stock leaf springs all need all their rubber bushings replaced. My local AZ Toyota dealer will get me them for $4 ea. The question is: there is some discussion about IF all 4 corners and IF the shackle end and opposite end of each one use the same bushing...
