Fj 60 fsm

Hey All,

I'm sooooo close to pulling the engine from an 82' 60 that I got for $150. Before I go and finish the pull I wanted to get the FSM to make sure I did it right. 2 questions, I called 1-800-622-2033 and the poor woman I talked to didn't really seem like she got what I was asking for. Is that the right number to call?, and are the FSM called something else or if I ask for the FSM should the person know what I am looking for? Which manual do I want, engine or chassis? Sorry guess I have 3 question, will the 82' FSM cross over to my 85' 60 as well or did some stuff change between 82' and 85'?

Thanks for all you help!

I have not found engine removal instructions in the Toyota manuals. The 2F engine manual describes how to service the engine (necessary if you are going to rebuild the engine) but not how to get it out of the truck. The body and chassis manual covers about everything except the engine. The emissions manual just covers the emissions equipment.

I have a chilton manual that does have a section on how to remove the engine. Stuff did change between 82 and 85, most notably the transmission got longer in 85 (to match the length of the H55F 5 speed) and that put the transfer case and cross member farther back, and changed the lengths of the drive shafts. I think you should be able to bolt your 85 transmission up to the 82 engine, though.

Removing the motor is pretty intuitive. I can see that they would not have specific instructions.

85s and 81 are slightly different, but most parts are the same. I have no doubt that you could get along fine with a later manual. It isn't like the FJ40s that changed significantly every couple of years.

i just removed the motor/gearbox and transfer from my 60. First time i've ever done it and I didn't even think to consult a manual. Just look for anything that connects the body to the motor and disconnect it.

Also you will want to remove the radiator, front grille and the crossmember that goes across the top of the radiator to make removing the motor easier. Things like the powersteering pump and airconditioning (which i didn't have) can be removed without removing oil/gas lines and tied off to the side

over all it wasn't difficult. would be alot easier if you don't remove the gearbox aswell like i did (makes moving the crane around very difficult - easier just to push the truck out from under the motor)

here's a pic just for fun

note i butchered the bull bar because i got lazy. Was pointless in the end as i couldn't get the end of the boom to the back of the motor without using the 1/2 tonne setting (I bet the diesel motor and gearbox weights a bit over that - note don't try this at home!)

There was a change in bell housings between 82 and 85 and you can make the older bell work, but it's easier if you keep the bell with the transmission.

Just to clarify as this is misleading. If you pull just the motor, you have to pull the bellhousing with the motor. You can't remove the clutch and flywheel without removing the transmission. The change in the bellhousings (minor) has nothing to do with that circumstance.

So the options are
1-Pull the complete unit-motor, transmission, transfer

2-Pull just the motor with the attached bellhousing (ie separate at the transmission)
