You might find this interesting...I found this forum post. This seems to be the referencing the same configuration as my truck (split transfer case, with provision for parking brake drum). My rear retainer looks identical to the NLA part that this gentleman was trying to track down: 36132-60030...
Ok...here's my theory. Let me know if you have some info I don't.
1. Split transfer case from 1982 (stamped SN)
2. Speedo housing/rear retainer from pre-1980 (possibly. I still can't tell if the speedo housing actually changed mid 1980)
3. Parking brake drum backing plate from pre-1980 (SOR says...
Yeah, I see that little recess where it sits in there. I wasn't sure if the machined, smooth, shaft coming from the transfer case protruded through that ring a bit to make the seal or if it was the drum housing shaft that stuck in there to create the seal. It seems the latter is the case...
Bro...just asking you to chill. My logic was sound, based on the part diagrams I saw...I asked a question to confirm. It's alright to answer said question without the sass laden ego trip. Snowflake...classic.
Thanks for the heads up. By back plate, do you mean the backside of this guy? If so, I wasn't planning on removing that, unless for some reason I have to...which I'm guessing would be the case if I replaced the retainer ring. I'll likely just order the seal and gasket parts anyway just in case...
Just found this...this is the exact scenario I was proposing. If someone can definitively tell me differently, I'm happy to listen to their explanation...which is all I was asking for. But, when I look at this picture you can clearly see that it appears the retaining ring seal sits inside the...
Why is it that every auto forum dude with over 1k posts always has to be snarky? It's so much easier to just answer questions without the sass. It's not like I'm not doing my research here. I understand what I can from the part diagrams, comparing them to my vehicle (which could be a hodge...
I do own calipers, but I just don't have access to most of my tools right now. In an ideal world, I wouldn't buy another set. I'll just rig up something tomorrow to better measure the width.
...Also, does anyone know the size of the nut? I need to order a socket to fit. My transfer case dates it to 1982. I found a forum post where some said 36mm, some said 32mm. Eyeballing it with a ruler, it looks like 32mm.
While I wait on a 27mm socket to show up, I'm trying to get all the parts on order that would be necessary and recommended when removing the parking brake drum. Clearly the staked nut was reused, improperly, or someone just didn't know what they were doing. So, I'll be replacing that.
On...
For sure. I'll definitely measure things before I order anything, but it would be nice to figure out exactly which components are on my truck and if the driveline is OE to a 1982 SA FJ45.
I'll take a look. I didn't have great results on my initial search but will try again. I double checked the SOR diagram. It's a bit contradictory in different places, but it does suggest that non USA FJ45 models through 1984 follow this diagram. Now I just need to figure out if this is, for...
Ok. I'm not sure why Mark was convinced it was a 73. My truck is an venezuelan 1982 FJ45. I'm not certain that the drive axle, joints etc. weren't swapped for something older, but it's also hard to be certain because I don't really see the difference in the part diagrams.
This is the diagram...
Awesome, thank you! Are you confident it isn't this part? SOR # 076-16C. They both look like the splined stud I am looking for, but just wondering which one is correct. They look a bit different to me. They both appear to be from the same parts diagram, just different sources...
So, this looks like the part I am in search of. I'm just uncertain of the exact part for my model year. The truck is a 1982, but who knows it certain parts were hodge-podged together. The transfer case on the truck, was clearly replaced. It looks quite new in comparison to the original...
That's a great resource, thank you! I'm still having trouble connecting the exact part I am looking for. This diagram appears to show the vicinity of what I should be looking at, but the bolt it shows (37110A in the diagram) provides a part number for a non splined bolt. Clearly, I'm not...
Well, in my case, it was wobbling so much that the majority of the force was toward the rear...hence the nuts backing off. Do you have a part diagram for that? Is the speedo housing inside that whole parking break assembly?
