Hey Guys, I've been wiring up my rear 80series locker in my FJ40. It never worked, even after logic testing the wiring completely. The background of the build is a junkyard 80 series rear with homebrew wiring from reading multiple threads on here.
So I followed a couple threads and decided to take apart the actuator and see if it was a mechanical problem. Here's my findings...
That was after dumping out plenty of powdered rust. I don't know all the terminology of the parts or how to clean them. I am thinking WD-40 with a toothbrush? Then maybe some fine grit sand paper for the 3 pickup points deep in the housing of the first picture. The worm gear in the first picture deep in the housing that connects to the shaft that goes into the switch housing is completely seized. My assumption is that it should spin freely. The teeth on the gears aren't stripped.
How should I go about cleaning everything? How should I go about taking it part more? What parts need to be marked in their position before taking it apart further?
I've been using the following threads as resources, but just looking for a little more detailed help. Small parts intimidate me like a caveman
