BJ 45 restoration Greece (2 Viewers)

As i am waiting the paint to completely get dry (7 days says the manufacturer ) i stated to disassemble the gearbox and the transfer..

 

[Shown]

But sadly at this point i realized that the manual i have in my hands, is referring to older models (pre 1980 i think). So i started to wonder, where are the bolts the manual showed to me. Luckily, i found some information about the disassembly at a video on YouTube (dusty ep15) that has my version of transfer. In mud i couldn't find any information about my transfer. Maybe i haven't search correctly, so if anyone has a link in mud for lately transfer models i would appreciate it if you could help me...

If you want more pictures or something more specific about this transmission, tell me to upload now that is disassembled. I will try to take as many pictures as i can...

Your truck is, as mine, a late model (1983) and the 1980 manual does not cover it....
We have to source the right TOYOTA supplement (if there is any).

Nice "photo-reportage", anyway!

I think Georg has a good video on the split T-case assembly.

Do you have the coordinates Chungas Revenge ?

 

[Chungas Revenge]

I think it is on YouTube. Let me do some digging.

The last two days were very busy... First thing I wanted to do, was to remove the bearings from the gearbox. It's almost impossible if you don't have the special tool (or something similar). I wouldn't like to hit it, so i decided to build something...

Caramba!

Part 3. I built also a set of short arms... And i am very happy with the result. The bearings came out after 8 hours of building special tools and trying not to damage anything on the gearbox...

 

[Shown]

Today i decided to work on the frame and the axles... The U bolts i used to build the special tool were the old rusty ones. I decided to install on my 45 the terrain tamer suspension kit that came to me a month ago...

 

[Shown]

So i started fitting it...

And finally after two months the frame sitting again on the wheels...
