shims

I know I’m probably the only fool who is still monkeying with different gear ratios in older Cruisers. I’m on a search for some older pinion depth shims (the ones that fit under the larger bearing cup on the pinion and allow for changing the depth setting). From what I have been able to learn...

I've got some parts that I'm not going to use on my 80 series knuckles: 43233-60030 - Steel Shim Knuckle .20mm (I've got 2 of these) 43234-60020 - Steel Shim Knuckle .50mm (I've got 1 of these) 43235-60020 - Steel Shim Knuckle 1.0mm (I've got 2 of these) 43236-60020 - Steel Shim Knuckle...

Learning diffs on my hj75 1988 troop. I have replaced the crown and in the process of installing new bearing on the pinion. There are a few sized washer shim spacers available between the pinion and bearing in .05mm increments, 11 different sizes. In otramm's video he reuses the factory shim...

Anyone know the minimum I have to take off to get the timing belt off of the passenger side cams? I need to move some of the shims under the cams around on the passenger side but everything is put back together at the moment and not to do pointless work 07 VVT

I'm rebuilding my knuckle housing after a leaking seal and in doing so, the novice that I am, didn't take note of the shim order. As I read through the manual I now understand the importance of this and I'm wondering, without having to spend a fortune on getting hold of an SST from somewhere...

Figured I’d post and see if anyone has heard much of what I just ran into w my 06 470. 257k extremely clean well maintained. Was running fine after plug and coil pack replacement for several hundred miles and suddenly stumbled at a stop light and threw cel. Ran it a few miles home and noticed a...

After a decade, I'm putting together a '77 FJ40 and came across these two rubber shims. I've carefully labeled the longer one "transfer case) and they both have a hole appropriate for a shift lever. I cannot find any mention of these in the microfiche catalogue I have. Have you seen them...

I know this has been gone over a multitude of times but here I go... Passenger side had a thick and thin on the top and a thick on the bottom. Driver side had none on top and three thick on the bottom. I’ve got the SST tool (@reevesci, via @Jaric00n) but I let anxiety get the best of me...

I tried to go order valve shims at my local dealer, and they're discontinued. I'm not looking for extreme performance like Scottryana's shimless buckets, and although a few others have had good luck with Home I would rather not wait/pay for shipping from australia. I've also looked for nissan...

using the sst tool I end up with a negative number for my bottom shim -- pulling 10 pounds of preload to adjust for what will be probably 33's I get a total 2.20 mm of shim thickness for my total shim thickness, a difference of 2.20mm between my scribed lines (measurement D). My bottom shim...

Hey gang....Just installed an entire new SOR Heavy Duty Suspension 3" Lift Kit on my 85 Fj60. I added the Skid plates, they seem pretty burly..hope that they do well. Read some old reviews about it after the fact..so if they suck, I am gonna change to the Bolt flip kit from 4+plus. Cleaned...
