I'm getting ready to do the manual hub swap on my '97 4Runner and was wondering if anyone had a complete list of parts that I will need to order from Toyota?

I know I need from a wrecking yard:
- Manual hub knuckles
- Manual hub axles
- Manual hubs


Also, I have read that it can and has been done, but I've been unable to find a write-up of how to do the swap and keep ABS.

Thanks

 

You have to use your spindle, your ABS sensor, your backing plate, manual hub guts, manual hub axles (with the tone ring from your axle) and manual hub bodies.

There have been a few writeups, not sure if they still exist on this website anymore.

 

That is if he wants to keep abs, if you don't want to keep it then its a lot easier.

You'd need:

Spindles, hubs, cv's

 

I need to keep ABS.

 

So basically, I press all the stock junk out of my spindle, and then press all of the manual hub junk in, along with the ABS ring?

And then I need the SST to torque the brass nut to 203ft-lbs.

Thanks

 

Good luck with pressing them out and in, your going to need new bearings and seals when you do it.

Your gonna need a lot of force to press them out

 

I have a big press, so that shouldnt be a problem or I might just take it somewhere so I don't have to mess with it,

Are the bearings and seals the same for ADD and manual hub vehicles?

Thanks

 

Yep they are.

This info should be helpful for ya!

 

i'm looking into to doing this in the near future as well.

so basically if i want to keep abs, i need to get

from a junk yard
manual hub assembly from a 95-04 taco with manual hubs

and the axle shafts



then pull my axles out, and plus the others in, then install the manual hubs?

or do i need the spindles too?

what i don't understand is why the bearings need pressed

or are the wheel hubs (the part that has the studs) a different spline thank the axles for the manual hub setup?

 

The bearings have to be pressed becuase you need the install the manual hub guts into your ABS spindle, to be able to retain ABS. When you press the guts out, it ruins the bearing and retainer.

Also, the ADD hub spines are larger and a different number than those of the Manual hubs.

 

ok, now what about the add? i want to do away with that so there is one less thing to go wrong when you need it to work. does that mean i have to get the whole diff from the truck with manual hubs?

 

The easiest way is indeed to get the complete diff, however if you can find someone willing to sell just the non-ADD jack shaft assy, you can bolt the jack shaft on to your diff.

 

ahh, ok, i'll have to hit some junk yards this spring
