Hey it might be too late now but in some cases I have found that you can save quite a bit of money for bearings going to these guys.((((Motion Industries Inc - 586 Mason Way Medford, OR 97501)))) Best way is to bring the bearing in and they will measure it right there on the spot. Just a suggestion..

That's awesome thank you! I think it's too late for this time, but I will keep that information for next time!

Motion is good but they cant get those and have limited "auto" app bearings.

 

[knoll0351]

Thanks gnob, I feel better that I couldn't have saved a few bucks. The first is only a week away, but it'll be a long few days.

I'm no expert but this doesn't look right...

You might want to snug that one down a smidgen more

I know right!?!? That bottom bearing is $30 and the only place that can even order it is the dealer. I called every pays house in town and from the part description nor the part number could they find a listing. With studs, conical washers, lock washers, nuts and the two oil seals I'm still under a hundred bucks though.

There was a part number in the aftermarket I found ("prolly" on MUD) that I used on my 60 series. I believe the angle of the bearings on the outer contact side was a tad different. Seemed to work but I don't have the number.
Since the 60, I've just used OEM on those particular items.
JMTC...there you go.

Thanks Russ, I did find a thread but from what I gathered OEM was the only one of proper spec...

 

[knoll0351]

Oops I forgot to mention that there were only two studs, the other two are gone. Well one gone and the other sheared off. I'm not looking forward to trying to remove the half still in the knuckle housing.

 

[knoll0351]

Stud was challenging, thank you camoj

 

[knoll0351]

Getting there, waiting on parts

 

[Andersej]

Looking good

Stud was challenging, thank you camoj

glad I could lend a hand

What do you guys think? This is my inner wheel bearing. Spins free and I see no signs of heat damage. But the cage is bent. For seventy five bucks I'm incline to reuse this one....

 

[knoll0351]

Well I was well on my way to getting finished today, then my buddy came by with a brake problem. If the guts of drum brakes aren't in the right places amazingly parking brake doesn't work. lol

 

[knoll0351]

Making progress finally. But how much grease in a birf?








More! One whole tube and what was left in two others.





But looking closer to assembled at least.

 

[knoll0351]

So now that spindle is back on I read fsm and supposed to pack bearings with lithium grease...I used Molly graph for bearings and knuckle. Thoughts?

 

[Andersej]

not sure on that...

 

[gnob]

Ive been using amsoil race synthetics

 

[camoj244]

I used to use a Lithium based water proof grease for heavy duty boat trailers. In my 40

Tru dat!
Not sure about moly in the wheel bearings though. Mr. Toyota specified lithium in the wheel bearings for a reason. Good enough for me.
You may have read this or know this, but when you button up the steering arms, it's recomended to use the tap and tighten method so the arm seats up nice and tight. JMTC FWIW!
Onward boy,


p.s. what was your technique for removing the moly from the birf bell?
