The Dutch stole all 5-speed diesels! (nsfw?) HJ60 and BJ40

When the carrier and the axles is in might check the preload as that might give an indication of status (little play now)

gear install

Gear noise after locker install

Check the pre load difference in the picture below, it is kg for axle preload and kg-cm for stake nut
Is this with or without birfs/wheels?

The FSM front axle, page FA-29, seems to install the complete front axle parts and then makes a reference to the rear axle: step 6 page RA-16, so that looks like without the propeller shaft but with the birfs!
But on page RA-20 the same preload is checked and that is clearly on the workbench with no axles connected!

Differential - Carrier Bearing Preload ?

I dont get it, but trying to adjust the slop it had.
After tightening a bit the slop is gone,
still rotates very easy and no sounds, also with some gear oil on the tooth it spins easy and no cavitation I think.

 

[hj 60]

This is how the nut was, I have no idea yet how others look, but found some videos and topics:
slop means replace bearing or adjust a bit and drive along.

 

[hj 60]

It was very tight, this worked: #30

 

[hj 60]

less than 1/4 turn and checking a million times after every 1/10 millimeter,
1 mm total I think, or less, should have use feeler gauges to measure

 

[hj 60]

Inside the diff, that very large needle bearing had some slop and after tightening no more.
Maybe destroyed the bearing or the planet.

Anti rust primer and paint on one side of the carrier, I hope this is the underside, the carrier wont rust so I don't really like painting it.
To much other stuff to do.

Blimey! ideal weather to work under the car for this tree shade mechanic!

My mothers new aygo with automatic, her first auto because she is getting older and it drives very smooth.
The diff is cleaned from old gasket so bare metal that is now getting rusty, but glad I checked the diff flange slop and tonight party with a lot of beer
I have 15 weeks holiday left this year because I work to much

SO more next week but the diff has to get on soon.

15 hours of rain, major traffic problems and sewers flooding: I had a day off

Landcruiser J60 front axle gaskets and torque:

I like the qes starter cup, hahaha

HA mongoose2231 aint that typical, the FSM special tools are also used for
QES (Quick Erect Scaffold) : a fast-erecting modular scaffolding system made of galvanized steel

All is working well, just came back from a test drive after a lot of work.
Replaced new radiator/cap and it does not leak but must see after a few cool downs.
Installed front lokka and that is a pain because the whole front axle has to come apart, but it was the second time so no problem at all.

Measuring the lokka front axle clearances:

Left side shaft clearance: 0,15 /0,14 with 0,13 to easy Right side shaft clearance 0,17 / 0,16 with 0,15 to easy
Measurement of the intercam gap:
Like rear axle end of scale: 165: (0, 32+30+28+26+25+24)

And balanced the front split rims and the slight wobble is gone

Might be the skinny tires or the lokka but the driving in mud patterns is much better, no more following the pattern but just cut trough sideways and out of the track every time, front lokka seems more for uphill climbs but the steering is more responsive.
No clicking like the rear, did not dare to test to much on concrete but lock/unlock test was fine.

Used the cheap usb camera (with VLC player) to check the front diff oil level, funny

And this is two different torque setting in the FSM

Next is to plan a new landcruiser trip: 3 weeks with family to Croatia or first time to Norway and trip alone: North cape, Sahara
But at my job I was asked to accept more money and not use the 15 weeks I have for holiday: might get me a 61

I recognized the qes cause I work with it a lot... Great job by the way

Looks good. Nice to get rid of that slop!
Maybe too late? But did you paint the gear teath to check engagement pattern after tightening the pinion nut ( Toyota gear install )? As I understand (havent done this yet so correct me if im wrong) it as you further tighten that nut, you are pulling the pinion gear further away from the ring gear. The crush sleeve as I understand should always be replaced as it sets this tooth engagement depth, also why I plan to go solid spacers when I do eventually get into this project.
It would appear that other than bearings wearing or the nut backing off, the only other way for the slop in the tapered pinion bearings to be created to overcrushing the crush sleeve with impact, overtorque or other means while driving.

EDIT: Above is probably wrong as pinion depth appears to be set with shims between bearing race and pinion gear. Still learning lots....

mongoose2231 the qes pipes are great to slam the birfields out and as a lever, got a job for you guys: check propeller shaft nuts!

dkyuss thanks anyway, really appreciated, I can not do much because no special tools and no shims, but I can buy them or ask a friend again because he also did the axle spacers.

Ckecked pattern with grease, looked like it should be and certenly not off like pictures.

Anyway I was looking at the slop and and but decided I had to adjust it.
The propeller shaft has a dent so it might hit a rock somehow that crushed the sleeve, or to much grease in the shaft, and wear...

Noticed I forgot this easy check: Carrier Bearing Pre-load CBPL

WHEN DIFF IS APART ALWAYS DO THIS !URGENT!
click: carrier bearing pre-load

Below is the FSM but it does not describe this procedure!
(no adjustment but re-tightening presuming the original install was done properly)
RA-18 rear axle ring gear backlash:

RA-19 rear axle ring gear backlash

A strip of newspaper can be used to check, if it is torn to pieces to much pressure so to tight.

Also toothpaste can be used to check the pattern.

Nice explanation of the terms used in diffs: BillaVista.com-14-Bolt Gear Setup Tech Article by BillaVista

A nice PDF, just to get used to the idea and terminology.

Came back and we had a weekend of car races and tractor pulling. My son took an old shoei helmet from the garbage pile and I used that strap for the rear seat:
