Getting ready for the rite of passage first knuckle job... Parts have all been ordered and are inbound. Vehicle is a 1970 40 series with a 1977 front axle with disc brakes. I have the 1970 FSM and downloaded a 1975 FSM. Those are both for drum brakes. But I'm trying to figure out if torque specs or preloads changed on the disc brake axle. Does anyone have a disc brake FSM that they scan the torque & preload specs? (Perhaps a 1978 FSM?)
Thanks.
 
Toyota published (number 98154) a combined body and chassis manual covering 1975-1980. You want to pick one up (ISBN 13: 978-1522939245, ISBN-10: 1522939245)

I haven't scanned mine, but here's what you need, in order of assembly.
drum & disc:
Trunnion (cap) bolts: 43-54.3 ft-lbs
Trunnion bearing preload (as measured with the spring scale (3.9-5.0 lbs
Steering knuckle retaining botls: 10.9-16.0 ft-lbs, then secure with lock wire
disc only:
Disc to Hub bolts: 28.9-39.8 ft-lbs
Bearing (inner) locknut: 43 ft-lbs, rotate hub back and forth 3 times, retighten to 43 ft-lbs, the unscrew 1/8-1/5 turn
Bearing (outer) locknut : 58-72 ft-lbs
Drive flange nuts (over cone washer): 20.3-25.3 ft-lbs

@Malleus thanks! I just ordered the 75-80 FSM as suggested. I really appreciate the nudge.
