I'll be darned if I can find this in the FSM.

If you know the section it is in could you point it out to me?

I looked hard for it in the "brake" section and the "suspension and axle" section (under "steering knuckle and shaft" and "Front axle hub") , and scanned the rest of the FSM. I can't find it anywhere.

The parts are in the blown apart diagram in the Suspension and Axle section under "Front Axle Hub", but the section doesn't discuss assembly (specifically the torque, the rest I can figure out...). The section treats it as if you are always going to reuse the old rotor and won't be disassembling it.

Do you know where in the FSM it lives (which section)? Or if you happen to know the torque, could you tell me?

I do have a versionof the FSM that I downloaded from the Toyota site, so there is the possibility that I didn't download a section by mistake.

If I can't get it, I'll go with the general torque specs in the General Torque Spec TSB for that size and grade bolt.

Thanks,
Charlie
 
Charlie--

In my FSM for the 97, I have it on page SA-10 and it says:

(g) Install and torque the 6 bolts: 51 ft-lbf

That's the 6 bolts from the hub to the disc if I am reading this correctly.

Best.

1996 LX450 FSM has torque value of 54 ft-lbf on Page SA-8. Seems like a small difference from the 51 ft-lbf above.
 
Beno and JAPFPE,

Thanks million! I owe you a :beer:

51 lb/ft or 54 lb/ft at least I have a ballpark. As long as they're all the same I don't think it will matter one bit.

I have mine printed out and I just looked again on page SA-8 of the 1996 LAND CRUISER manual (RM451U) and it isn't on there. I also checked SA-10 and every other page in that section, just to be sure. No dice...

Looks like Mr. T's manual maker must've slipped up on the '96 LC book.

Thanks guys. That is really a super help!!!

How important is it to tightne the bolts to spec ? I just tightened them by feel. What will happen if they are too tight - anything ??
 
If all else fails, you can go to a bolt/torque table in the front i think of the FSM. This table tells you what each bolt should be torqued to based on size/grade/type.
