I have an 86 runner with automatic hubs. I got a deal on a P/U of the same year but it has manual hubs. I would like to swap them out and put the manuals on my runner. My question is this...is it a direct bolt on? Do I have to change spindle/knuckle and all? I know I will figure out when I get ready to do it but I figured a little insight before I start will couldnt hurt. Thank you for any input you might have.

 

not a direct bolt on. have to change the guts of the spindle, mainly the outer hub retaining nut etc.

 

it should be a direct swap over, i dont have access to the online service manual to give you the link. someone will probably post it up for you.

Its NOT A DIRECT SWAP

Its only a direct swap if has ADD, which did not start until 1989. AUTO hubs use a different setup on the outer edge of the hub, ie different nuts, and guts of the spindle. That has to be switched out before you can install the manual hubs.

 

btw, try this link:

I have everything from the donor truck....hubs...bearings....nutst thrustwashers....everything that your link shows....so it should be a direct swap over if im reading that correctly.
