First Post!!
Hi everyone, I’ve got a second hand 1HZJ80R ‘94.
I’ve started replacing the back rotors and silly me, decided to pull off the axel. Ok, I now know I don’t need to do that. Anyhow, I did… and I removed the calliper and drum. The drums were intense to get off. 3 hours of hammering and using bolts to push it off. I even threaded a bolt hole. Ended up smashing the drum on the outer flange to get it off with a heap of CRC.
I found silicon between the axel cap and the hub (no gasket). Probably because the face of the axel is slightly bent (from a hammer abuse) Ok, a bit doggey.
Also discovered the seals need replacing (black syrup pouring out).
Decided to clean, and put it back together, as I don’t have a seal kit yet (vehicle not RWC and I live far away from town).
When I put the axel back in, it won’t push all the way in. So I pulled it in with the bolts. Success! However, now I can’t spin the axel assembly at all.
So pulled it all off again and now it spins, put it back together and no turning.
I’m a day or two away from getting it towed to mechanic. Pulling my hair out.
Should the axel/hub spin freely when all bolted up? YouTube vids have peeps spinning by hand. I can’t spin even with a arm extension
(Hand brake off and vehicle out of gear)
Staring to think I need a new axel and hub assembly, as things aren’t lining up perfectly
Any help much appreciated
