So just passing this on in case anyone else runs into the same problem, a deformed original brake hard line nut that would not thread into the new flexible hose. I had this happen in the past with a front caliper hard line nut, in that case I had to replace the short hard brake line going to a...
Mud Haters,
I removed my rear wing a while back to make room for some Maxtrax.
After removing the wing, I reinstalled the bolts to prevent water from entering the holes. I would now like to swap the OEM bolts with stainless cap screws. All of the bolts except one came out easily. The top...
Hoping someone might have some guidance for me. I did the 80 series electric antenna swap into my 62 today. Works like a beauty. From this thread:

Been scouring the internet for photos of this but I can’t find a clear shot. I think this is a non OEM end (drag link end?)
The threads are super long and I can’t remember if the castle nut should be snug to the bottom of the center arm or lined up with the hole. Kind of an...
Does anyone know the size and thread of the alternator pivot bolt nut? The bolt has a 17 mm head and I'd rather not pull it out to match it up as will be easier just to buy the proper sized nut. TIA
I m in the process of replacing the Pitman Arm & the Drag Link of my BJ 40.
I am unable to remove the 32 mm Nut that holds the Arm. Is it in the normal clockwise thread OR Counter clockwise thread ?
It is so tight & what is the best way to remove it. Not possible to heat due to possible...
I have the stock 5 spoke wheels in gunmetal. Was looking at Bora spacers, was wondering if 1.25” is wide enough to allow the hub assemble lug nut threaded posts to sit recessed or at least flush. I’ve never messed with spacers but want to bring the wheels out a tad on the LX.
Body guy called me this morning. Said i need to be ready. . .Nemesis is finally making her way to the paint booth.
Is there a centralized nut/bolt/washer/etc. diagram that will help with determining what hardware goes where?
Mainly looking for diagrams related to hood, upper/lower tailgates...
I’m stumped… what size is the nut for a 1966 steering column (Fj45lv but I’m sure all 1966 columns are the same)? I used calipers and thread pitch tools and thought maybe m13 1.5
Only had m12 1.5 at store. No odd sizes.
Anyone have a nut they can get me or know where to get one? I have a horn...
I have a toybox on my 69' FJ40 . I been looking for the stamp nut for replacement it takes 36mm socket. I have a part number 90179-26004 , I don't know if this exactly the right part.
Does any one have any info on this ?
Thank You Dennis
Hi all,
My front driveshaft was hitting a crossmember and needed to be retubed. Another issue this friction caused was some seeming damage to the washer and lock nut of the diff assembly. Curious if I need more parts than just the nut and washer or if there would be need to replace other parts...
It would seem so easy, but it’s the biggest pain. There are some things on a cruiser that are just gonna be difficult. It would seem easy, but installs new hood latches on any 40 series is a pain. The lowest screw with nut and a lock washer is the biggest pain. What’s your difficult fix on a...
Just documenting this for future searches.
IME the original rear pinion flange nut (at least on 95+ FZJ80's) uses a ~4mm thick plate washer as the original nut itself is not flanged.
That original part number 90179-22011 (at some point in the past) has been superceded to 90179-22016 but the...
