I know I'm an idgit, my kit is missing 25-29mm and I'm going to buy the right one...
is it a 26mm?

Looking through some old notes, I show 29mm, but unable to verify.

Castle nut is different to stake nut Mark.

I don't remember either size off the top of my head.

Thanks Mark. Chalk it up to shoddy memory. Hey, will you be around your shop 08/12-08/14? Trying to arrange a trip to OC and would love to meet up if it works out.

27 mm for the bill. Properly staked

According to my notes (see link) mine was actually 30mm and looked like the original nut. I'd bought a 27mm before the job, but it didn't fit.

Transfer Seal and Handbrake replacement

I'm sure this job has been done to death already here, but I've struggled to find a few snippets of information while researching the Transfer Seal Change, and so I thought I'd start a new thread to try and help anyone else in the same boat. I have a 1977 HJ45 with 3.6L H engine and H41...

It doesn’t help that Toyota changed the size of both nuts over the years. The earliest castle nuts were quite a bit bigger than the ones available today. The stake nuts just seem to change on the whim of the supplier.

The parking brake drum nut on my 01/72
