Hey guys so I've been in contact with a local injection shop and they've quoted me for 2 possible solutions to this leak.
1 involves a partial reseal; removing the pump , replacing the hydraulic head o-ring, throttle shaft o-ring, LDA o-ring, pump cover gasket, driveshaft seal, and advance...
Thanks for all the helpful info guys. Cleaned up the area and drove it today and narrowed down where its coming from. Its not the ACSD, sadly, it looks like its coming from that block where the pressure lines meet the pump. How big ($$$$) of a job is this??
*Ignore the left arrow on the first...
:eek: That sounds like an expensive and hard to find fix in an area without a dedicated import diesel mechanic.. How bad is it to keep driving it in this state?
Any idea if it could be solved by simply plugging up the ASCD with a blanking plate? Or is this a injection pump rebuild im looking at..
Hey guys, so I'm not fully versed on the anatomy of a HD-T engine so I'm hoping you could help me out with this leak.
Seems to have started a few weeks ago, noticing that my front axle is looking more moist than usual. It appears to be diesel, but I'm not sure where its coming from and how...
bump. Still hoping somebody can help me out here plz, I've attached another image from the top of the general area the leak appears to be coming from.
Its hard to tell exactly where the leak is, everything on that side is coated with a film of oily grime and really hard to get in and around each...

More specifically, what im wondering is if it is possible to remove the hub from the old rotor and bolt it onto a new rotor and leave the bearings and oil seal intact. Or if along with replacing the rotor i also need to replace new bearings & oil seal for the hub?
In the event that i do need to replace the rotors - is it possible to do this without having to repack the wheel bearings and replacing the seals? Is it possible to unbolt the hub from the rotor without having to get into the innards, replace bearings/races etc?
I had rebuilt the front knuckles...
Thanks for the tip about machining - will contact the local brake shop and ask.
There is noo way the calipers are sticking, I replaced them brand new + pads barely a month ago!
So my 80 has developed a wobble in the steering wheel and some pulsating in the brake pedal when on the brakes. Its worse when going downhill.
My obvious suspect is a warped rotor, but what's throwing me off is that it doesnt seem to happen ALL the time. Sometimes there is noticeably more or...
Upon a second look and a closer inspection is does indeed appear that the caliper is not moving as freely as it ought to be.. I went ahead and got 2 new rear calipers, took out all the parking brake hardware for good measure.
I think, however, either me or my LC are cursed. I have yet to do a...
No sir you are incorrect, and perhaps it was my mistake to include the parts diagram that I did - i was just trying to find the illustration of the internal parking brake shoe mechanism, in order to get some input on whether improper reassembly of the parking brake could be a cause of the...
The right rear caliper was replaced Oct 2019, i will remove it tomorrow and check but I doubt that it would have seized up so quickly - i only have about 13,000 km on it.
Okay so TDLR version: I changed out my left rear rotor as the original was chewed up due to PO neglecting the brake pads & the caliper piston was full on metal-on-metal. The right side rotor seems fine, no grooves no damage, the pads never wore through. So I only opted to change the one side. I...
Ok Im hoping somebody can offer me some short notice advice (trying to get this thing up and running on the road for the weekend and it's just one thing after another). As I'm assembling the steering damper Im finding i cannot for the love of me get the nut to tighten on the ball joint that...
Update: 3 days later... SUCCESS! All 4 ends out. The answer was LOTS of liquid wrench, a fair bit of hammering and a propane torch. But most crucially : leverage.
I didn't have a mounted vice so what I did was utilize the pushbar on the 80 itself. I wedged a pipe wrench underneath a section of...
^ the hammer technique worked with 1 out of 4 ends. The others are proving to be more stubborn.. next step is to torch.
having done the removal process yourself, can you let me know plz which of the threads were left vs right handed? My 80 is RHD so I'm not sure if they would be reversed...
