"Rebuild kit" is WAY misleading, as Toyota offers NO "rebuild kit" for Aisin manual hubs. Period.

It is just much easier to get some used ones from a small town junk yard for $20 because they dont know the value. then get the new parts to rebuild it. and then you save yourself ALOT of money!

I guess the problem is you can't get new parts from Toyota (just a whole hub), except for the gaskets and o-rings.

Yes, you can...they sell NEW Toyota hubs on most of the aftermarket sites (eg. Marlin, Trail-gear, etc) They are usually around $250 PER hub...but yes you can buy them....

Yes, you can buy NEW complete Aisin manual hubs, lots of places.

Yes, you can buy USED complete Aisin manual hubs, prices vary depending on junkyard and/or person selling them. Condition varies GREATLY. I've bought some for $40/pair that were total crap, some that were pristine. Ask for PICTURES.

Yes, you can buy REFURBISHED complete Aisin manual hubs. I sell them on my website.

No, you cannot buy a packaged "rebuild kit" for Aisin manual hubs like you can a brake caliper.

Yes, you can buy the "resusable" parts from the Toyota dealership, and other aftermarket suppliers, such as gaskets and o-rings.

No, you cannot buy NEW Aisin manual hub parts from the dealer, such as the big spring, hub gears, pawl or hub dial spring/ball bearing. (Bobby Long does have chromo hub gears for SFA axles. I carry new hub dial springs/ball bearings).

Do your own work and research you can find some deals. Rely on others to do the work for you and you pay for it. It is called business.

That's what I said. "(just a whole hub)" So I guess we're all in agreement then.

The waskilly one will correct me if I'm wrong - but I believe they offer a complete rebuild service for the Aisin hubs... so you can buy your own junkyard hubs (functional and complete) and send 'em to WABFAB for rebuild.
