so this is for the guys with runners that have switched to the manual hub setup and guys with tacos that already have them

do the studs that hold the manual hub to the spindle assemble screw out of the hub assembly?

dont really want to have to take my car apart just to find out but if this comes back void i guess that is just the last option haha

 

Are you talking about the 6-8 little studs that have nuts on them? No, just remove the nuts, take a screwdriver/hammer and tap the cone washers and they should pop off. You will also have to remove the bolt and washer inside to remove the hub. It is under the cover held on by inset allen bolts.

 

yes gerdo those are the ones im taking about and i know how to pull the hub its just that the last time that i had it apart to try and pull it i could not get the cone washers to budge a bit and i was beating on them prety hard and sine i could not get it off iwas hoping that the studs came off bc i thought that i could unscrew them when i frist put them on but was not sure

anybody else have any suggestions on removing the cone washers or studs bc if need b i will b willing to just cut the studs and buy a new hub assembly to sae the ASIN hub

 

Cone washers cone off easily with some patience and technique. DOZENS of threads on how to remove them. The beating on them method just dents up your hubs.

And it is spelled "Aisin"

 

Buy a Brass Drift to use for the cone washers.

 

i have used many different methods, but the one that worked for me is using a brass ball peen and a stiff tap adjacent to the stud and cone. dont beat the crap out of it. it might help if you used penetrating fluid and let that soak. also you can get a thin chisel tapped in to loose the cones. be careful with both because both can damage your hubs.

 

sorry for the spelling wabbit typing to fast on a break at work haha

see the thing is guys i have done all those things posted and yes i did SEARCH, i have not tried the chisel meathod yet but will try the next time i have the wheel off

so i guess that the ultimate thing is that everyone on here so far says that the studs on the hub do not come out and are somehow cast into them?

 

The studs do come out.

 

and hey, twist a nut on the stud a few rounds before you "beat" the cones out...

They can come off like a 22 and if you're not ready, you'll be hunting for cone washers...


I have used a plain ol' hammer, but dead blow on the hub with it, instead of using a glancing blow or just beating on it.


Also, Krol, PB Blaster or WD-40 the ell out of it.

 

hit the edge of the hub perpendicular to the face right next to the cone washer on the edge with a brass drift. should pop right out or you might have to soak them in pb or something overnight, i always get them out this way.

 

Use a brass hammer on the hub flange and pull at the same time,they will shot right out!

 

I can second that. First time i ever did the hubs i had my 4runner on the lift at the autoshop i work at. It shot probably 50 feet to the complete oposite side of the shop, im lucky i didnt hit a car.

 

spdjnky thanx for that but this if for the 95.5 to 04 taco manual hubs not the ones for the solid axel bc marlin crawler has the same kit and i called and they said that they are not interchangeable

and to everyone else thanx for the ideas will be trying them out soon
