nobody around here has aisins... this was the last set that anyone in the parts recycling playground had... plus, i figure that im still ahead because i knocked em down from 75 a piece... and only another 100 bucks later on down the road to have wabbit refurbish em...

okay, so i need some snapring pliers... and i dont have a drift either... ill have to find something to use instead...

 

Honestly, rebuilding them wasnt very hard, downey offroad has a kit with o rings and gaskets, not to mention the flair
I would have sent them to wab, but i felt confident to rebuild them myself, why dont you just rebuild them before you put them on? Seems more logical to me..

 

Take a c-lip out on the iside and repalce the index ring. (the inside cylinder with squaed notches outside of it and spline count inside).
I took a aisin from a nissan and replaced it with the inner key/spline ring from a yota! Worked just fine.

 

in nervous fer shure, but 1. i wanna help out small businesses, and 2. i want that nice powdercoating on them... lol... im shallow i guess...

also, i have absolutely no confidence in myself...

 

The flat washer with the splines on the inside hole goes between the 'C' clip and the bronze bushing on the hub, right? That is, from the inboard side; hub, washer, 'C' clip.

 

There are numerous write-ups and diagrams for manual hubs online. Several on this forum and 4x4wire. Search

 

Thanks a lot for that helpful advice.

I have searched, I have the manuals, I just wanted to check with someone who has first hand experience, so thanks again.

 

Your obvious sarcasm aside, the online diagrams and write-ups show pretty damn clear how this stuff goes back together and what the various parts are called. You sound pretty cocky for someone who can't follow a simple diagram or put your own truck back together.

Wheel bearing, flat washer with "tooth" for groove on spindle, 54mm spindle nut, star lock washer, 54mm spindle nut, torque to specs, the c-clip goes on the end of the axle.

 

Thanks for the info. I had a small issue with new axle shafts and the washer/'C' clip and just wanted to double check with someone who has done this kind of repair to make sure where things went before I started modifying stock parts.

 

where can i get Hub Rebuild kits...im about to start rebuild both of my hubs on my '86 while is down for another head swap..none of the parts stores around here have rebuild kits for them...none of the stores can even order them...so what the hell...

 

ooooh, let's just promote oursleves why don't we

haha, jk, WabFab's rebuild kits are good stuff and I would highly reccomend them to anyone if you're going to do a full rebuild


all that I needed was the hub body gasket, hub cover gasket, and dial O-rings, and I got all of them for both sides next day from a dealership for $20; not bad considering it was local, and I needed them rather quickly.

now something you will most certainly need if you're going to be doing the wheel bearings at the same time (re-packing or replacing all together) is a 54mm socket for the 2 spindle nuts, which as you can see by following the link, WabFab sells one that's a 3/8 drive, so you can use it with your standard torque wrench to set the preload correctly, which is VERY important by the way...

of caurse the other option... if you're on a very low budget, and you've got a steady hand and you're good with an exacto-knife, just get some gasket material, trace the hub body and cut out some new gaskets, and so long as your hub dial O-rings aren't leaking, don't even worry about em, and you can dissasemble, clean, relube, and reassemble for less than $10

 

Thats an awfully LOW budget

 

you'd be surprised at some of the cheap-tricks us broke red-necks here in Florida can come up with in a bind

 

i actually ended up doing it myself... it was easy, and, in total, costed me about 20 bucks...

and, yes, that is a shameless plug, wabbit...
good thing your liked around here and make good parts...

 

well if we're going to post our hub-rebuild threads...

not really a write up, but if you're doing a rebuild for the first time, every pic helps!

 

Man asked a question and I gave him the best answer. How is that shameless?

 

thanks for the links guys..i got the build pages bookmarked..lol..

 

well..idk what all i will need to do the rebuild..as i dont have the hubs yet..(im buying a compeltely different set of hubs from a junkyard...that way i can swap the bad hubs on my truck for the good rebuilt and repainted hubs..in just a few mins..instead of my truck being down even longer..and..the truck is not at my house..so it would just make it easier to get a different set of hubs..

 

hub body mounting gasket, hub cover gasket, hud dial o-ring, snap-ring pliers, ratchet and extention with a 10mm and 12mm socket (IIRC), and some grease; that's it... well that, and a hammer and an extra socket extention to tap on the hub mounting bolts with to remove the cone washers...

I would rate the rebuilding of them as a 3 on the 1-10 scale of difficulty, and the installation as a 4 (only because of how stubborn those cone washers can be sometimes), but it's a pretty strait forward process...

 

so what hub from the junk yard works on a 92 4runner??

i am on low buget haha

i am gettin hubs before i replace my front axles..

will the older 4runner hubs work??

i am a honda guy i am all about swapin stuff
