arb locker oil leak

[widewestcruiser]

While installing new o-rings for the air locker I noticed that the pinion bearing was loose. I installed the locker only 2 years ago,used new crush sleeves and torqued to proper specs. The after market crush sleeve is half the wall thickness and has a welded seem, could this cause the sleeves to crush more while driving?
Does anyone have the part numbers for a toyota crush sleeve, pinion nut and pinion bearing for a BJ74 front and rear axle (semi floating)
The parts person at Penticton Toyota is helpful but does not have this info.
thanks for the help

I think its the same as a 60 series or a BJ70

yep, 9.5" and I think that your locker is RD33?

I ordered a crush sleeve from toyota in Kelowna for 45 bucks.....you don't want to be loosening your pinion nut too often.
thanks for the help.

First off, the axle parts for your BJ74 are no different than any other land cruiser, save for the axle shaft lengths. Toyota can supply all of the parts you need.

Secondly, get rid of the crush sleeves and use the older style hard spacers that use shims to set the pinion pre-load. They are more durable and you can re-torque the pinion nut or replace the seal with out disassembling the whole diff.

Thirdly, paying that much for a crush sleeve is nothing short of extortionate.


hth, and ymmv.

I agree.....and I bet you lots of people don't bother replacing the crush sleeve after installing a new pinion seal.

I think people neglect to replace the crush sleeve when doing a seal more often than would be admitted, it does require quite a lot more effort in a front application.
