We have had some nasty weather here in Oregon over the last couple of weeks so I have been in 4WD more than usual. When my hubs are locked I'm occasionally hearing a squeal coming from the drivers side, which leads me to believe my driver's side hub may need rebuilding. Using the search feature I came across this link: http://forum.ih8mud.com/79-95-toyota...b-rebuild.html, which looks to be a pretty good write-up of the job. In terms of tools it looks like I will need a good set of snap ring pliers and a brass drift for the cone washers. What is a good source for new gaskets for these hubs? Also, for those of you who have done this job, how extensive is it and any suggestion to make things easier. Thanks!

 

Dealer for the gaskets. It's a 1 banana job. Look out for the little BB. I do mine on a bench with rags on it.....keeps the little things from rolling away

 

that's the step-by-step is the one I went by, and it's a good one!

once you do one side, you can do the other without even reffering to the write up; they're that easy to do!

here's my little exprience (I did a little more than just the hubs, but you get the idea)

Hey I looked for your thread too; I was going to post a link to it on here... but mine was easier to find for me

 

just bookmark it trav...

 

Well Troy ( I think, right? ), I don't need it now, I could rebuild em blind-folded!

Beside, I did mine before you did

 

It is prob not the hub, you need to grease your spindle bushings. Do a search on here for a spindle grease tool. I cant remember who designed it, but I built one and it fixed mine.

 

OH OH, I WANNA PLAY, I rebuilt my hubs too !!!
