i put a parts kit in the rear when i did. chris

what do you mean by "parts kit"? as for the rubbing, drive it a little bit, than pull drums and see where it is worn. that will help figure out why it's rubbing.

I answered this in the 40 forum Chris.

thnks i didnt know were i would get a better response.as for driving it to find the wear spot i thought of that but the wheel wont even move with a bar on it its so tight. by parts kit i ment bearings seals stuff like that. thanks

If it's like my problem, replace the paper gasket between the drum and the face of the axle - this caused my FJ40 drum to lock up. The gasket serves a spacing function, as well as serving to prevent the drum from sticking due to rust.

were can i get the gasket and how thick is it?

gasket

The gasket is about $2 at Toyota and still in production.

You can cut a test gasket out of a manila folder to experiment - but the Toyota gaskets are made out of some miracle cardboard that won't dissolve in the first rainstorm. It took about 2-3 thicknesses of a manila folder to fix my problem - so the gasket is more than a few thousandth's thick - it might be .020.

I felt like an idiot when I finally figured out why my wheel wouldn't turn after tightening the lug nuts.
