Builds My LJ78 build thread...

Then I needed to press out (lightly tap) this part.

and then clean everything up... (I think I'm missing a washer in this pic)

Now I had to machine out the middle section. Luckily I have a small lathe in my garage to do this. If you plan on doing this project yourself, I'd suggest downloading the files I'm going to upload, get them printed somewhere at 100% infill and measure the plastic parts and machine your hubs to fit them. Every 3d printer prints differently even different filaments print at different tolerances. If your interested in getting aluminum ones made (might even make the part I'm machining in the pic below) shoot me a message, I might make some up at my work out of aluminum and you can do this yourself in your driveway. I'd need to talk to my work and setup some arrangements if I get enough interest.

couldn’t find the files for the 3D printed part. Could you send it to me?

I ended up doing all my tie rods and relay links a few month back also... I pieced together toyota ones from ebay for 3 of them, and another "555" brand which I found out afterwards makes a whole replacement kit for waaaaaaaay cheaper then what I spent.

Here are the part numbers in case you want to do yours.


Relay Rod ends
45044-69097 - Right hand
45045-69065 - Left hand

Tie rods
45047-69067 - Right hand
45046-69127 - Left hand

(note the left hand tie rod that has the loop in it isn't the correct one in this pic)
