i am buying a pair(used) of the aisin hubs to replace the A.D.D. on my 4runner. i was thinking that since i have them off and if it isnt too hard i could rebuild them and paint them and make them look and work like new. i was also wondering if anyone had a pic of all of the nessecary hardware so i know that i get every little piece for the install. thanks

 

they are a peice of cake to rebuild. all you do is take them apart and replace 2 gaskets and clean everything up. when you take them apart to paint make sure you do NOT loose the ball and spring. i lost my spring, but i had a spare set of hubs, so i just used the other hubs. hope it all works out

 

where do i get the new gaskets? toyota maybe

 

DING DING DING or just use RTV.

 

whats the spring and ball bearing do??????? i mean why are they there?

 

The ball bearing pushes out into the little dimple where the manual hub turns and stops, thus keeping the knob from just turning on its own, and the spring pushes the ball bearing out into that dimple. Without the ball bearing and spring, your hubs are USELESS. Funny huh...

 

does anyone have pics of everything( all of the nuts, bolts, washers etc.)?????????

 

Try your local dealer...

or any other place that sells Toyota parts...shouldn't be hard to find at all.

 

Theres a nice pdf file out there somewhere. Its got some good diagrams and all the part #s. I'll see if I can find it.

SO if those are missing, the hubs will turn will turn to the free position on thier own? Because when i rebuilt mine they weren't in there at all... and I have never had a problem with them

 

ok i got the hubs and am now having trouble re assembling them. i can not get the last 2 major pieces to set flush, something isnt lining up and i cant figure it out HELP!!!!

 

is it in the free position? just move it around intil it goes in.

 

now i got the hub all put together, it is set on free but i can't turn it to lock. it moves about 1/4 inch and then stops. sdkzkflarsdgrs

 

and where can i get a manual for this damn thing caisue i think im going to need it.

 

Factory Service Manual for your vehicle year/make/model.

Shows it for my 85.

make sure you get those springs in just right
is this on the truck or off the truck that you can't turn it to lock?

 

the spring isnt in the right poisition when u put it together. you need to take the hub off the hub body and turn it so that the spring becomes compressed. than put it back

 

Get a FSM or a copy of the FSMs instructions before you mess them up and have to buy new ones. $290 each

 

That link that S_wall linked to my site is from the "CD" version of the FSM.
