Real time hub help

[divemedic]

trying to overhaul the axel, just ran into a road block. Need to pull the hub off .... They are e-lockers not manuals.

 

[divemedic]

Please note that one of the torx bolts has a "pin" or something blocking it. Pictures first.

Well... @Kenavides used a magnet to save the day

Man you have the BS electro-locking hubs.

Get rid of that crap that Toyota made for the lazy folks.

Convert to the manual Aisin locking hubs.

Get out and turn your hubs for 4WD.

 

[divemedic]

Oh I will eventually.

As a side note. The little "block off" in the torque bolt in the first picture... It was the broken end of a bit the previous owner/mechanic left in. All the bolts are torqued waaaay beyond factory spec. I ended up stripping a bolt so I'm dead in the water till I get a new bolt and have time to drill the old one out.

This is the reason I ditched the e hubs, that set up is garbage.
60 series and 70 series stuff crosses right over

Beno what is the going price in the states?

 

[ForealBoreal]

Don't do the adapters.
I had the adapters and I couldn't give them along with the e locking hubs away.

Get the proper spindles, hub and free wheeling hub set up. Trust me save yourself the headache

 

[divemedic]

I assume pricing new is rediculous?

 

[ForealBoreal]

bought my stuff used and it was in great shape...

When I ditched my electro hubs I reused the old stub axles and used 60 series wheel hubs and lock hubs. I also retained the locking nut system but got rid of the star screws and used normal posi drive screws. (Phillips head) The locking nut needed a bit machining off it but I find its easier to set the bearings than those fiddly double nuts and tab washer.

This is the torque settings for the screws.
