(1/2) How to Rebuild your 4wd Toyota Front Axle Closed Knuckle

[@KeithRickles]

I purchased the Knuckle and Slotted Rotor Stage II kit. My two sons (11 & 13) and I knocked it out in about 10-hours. The two videos did a great job of explaining 95% of what to expect and what to do. Thanks for the excellent instructions.

[@JordanLedbetter]

Thanks Tim Heidecker for this helpful video!

[@AndyAskrenGB]

Got my rotors, got the rebuild kit. Now I just need the huevos to dive into this (oh, and a free weekend.)

[@zero187420]

Great video but i would have used a puller on the tie rod, as well as a brass drift on the cone washers so as not to damage the housing, to each his own though. Thanks

[@MasterHustler]

Great and one of the best videos for Toyota vehicles. I will link it to all of the different Toyota forums. My only other comment is you have a very nice shop and was wondering how come you did not use a tie rod puller?

[@SuperMarinala]

Tanks for your information. Gracias por la clase de mecanica para mi toyota 4runner 1992

THANKS Jonesys best and most helpful video

[@jackmariano5681]

Awesome demo. Very much informative Thank you

[@CrazyforCruiser]

With the help of this video I did the whole job myself after swearing, farting and frustration I was finally able to get it right.

[@Jonesys]

That's great to hear, thanks for that!

[@Татка-Шик]

Спасибо за доступную информацию. Не зная языка, использую Вашу видео инструкцию. Все очень понятно! Привет из России! ;)

[@Jonesys]

Thanks!

[@Ali-jm1fl]

Useful Video for me thanks man

[@TimmyTheToolman]

I really like this video and it's going to help me a lot. Like you already mentioned that some people might give you crap about how you removed the axle seal, I'm one of those people. You seem like you're a very competent mechanic so why risk damaging the inside of the axle housing using a screwdriver and potentially give a pathway for gear oil to get past the seal? You could use a slide hammer puller to get that seal out with no damage to the axle housing. I've used an OTC slide hammer puller set to remove axle and differential seals and it works great every time. Here's a link to the OTC kit I own: amzn.to/2JPGHHS

[@tool8204]

Hey mate, love the video used it last time..this time it's a bit different for me because the outer wheel bearing seized onto the spindle and I just can't get the thing off...you have any suggestions how to get the outer bearing loose from the spindle? I tried heat, hitting it, using a puller, etc.

[@loaiessa6650]

Thank you mate great job

[@abidpardasi]

Thank you for uploading a great vidio relly good and will save me lots of money cos I am doing mine on toyota hilux

[@Jonesys]

Great buy the rebuild kit from us!!!

[@timoneill1955]

Couldnt be better.

[@dgreathornd]

If you put the Caliper Bolts back in the Knuckle after removing Caliper it can not get confused.

[@Jonesys]

Rebuild kit: $150 Grease: 6 tubes at $5 per tube Performance Front brake kit: $200. About 6 hours of labor.

[@rupertgaznabbi1228]

Jones good video, I especially like the advice on soaking the felt in grease. However, some people say that the inner Axel seal from Toyota is better in preventing gear oil leaks than that of an OE manufacturer. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks

[@DaPr00f]

I most deffinately would, but I live in Finland so the shipping cost would be more than the actual parts :D

[@kbdaweatherman]

Thanks for this video!!!!

[@courtneybrown4622]

Jonesy, I am a new viewer and enjoyed the video. Would you be so kind to address the" Death Shimmy"; on a 96 Land Cruiser with ABS. Hit a bump and have to come to a complete stop before it quits.

[@rahalati]

Great info. Thanks. I have a Land Cruiser 100 series. Where is the best place to by parts?

[@craigmartynn4183]

Did you replace to wheel bearings with new ones or did you reuse them? you didn't mention it in the new parts you introduce in the beginning. Also would you recommend reusing the Birfields and axle shafts? My Cruiser has 180k miles and clicks when i turn it sharp. I also heard if you swap what side the birfs are on it will extent the life. What are your thoughts on that? Thanks! any info helps!

[@hh65flyer]

Excellent! Out of curiousity, what do you charge for this job? Great way to justify tools and parts with the Mrs...

[@robodog3263]

Thanks for the video, I followed this procedure and rebuilt the front axle on my 1996 Land Cruiser. After the rebuild the tires squeal on slower tight turns, even at the high 4-wheel drive setting. It didn't do this before the rebuild. Is this normal?

[@hogsbreath43]

Just ordered the knuckle rebuild kit from you guys, but what size is the axle nut socket that you use?

[@MrStewieH]

Awesome INFO love your work, great help thanks.

[@Myersche]

hello! great video! is it the same method for a fj 60?

[@rupertgaznabbi1228]

Jones One other question, do these trucks come with a steering box to adjust the tightness of the steering gears? Thanks

[@rupertgaznabbi1228]

Also, where can I find a good set of refurbished Birfields, 30 spline? Do you guys refurbish these parts? Thanks

[@kaufmancountymudbog]

I tryin to find and buy the nitro kit but I can't find it anywhere. Can someone help.

[@edmrosso]

Where are you located? How much labor & parts for 1997 land cruiser?

[@Jonesys]

Hey Ed - Thanks for asking. Check here: adventurevehiclesnw.com/will-you-build-my/

[@crazybadder]

very nice!

[@DaPr00f]

Does -87 4wd Toyota Hilux have this kind of solid axle, or is it radically different to disassemble/re-assemble? Please, someone answer

[@darthvincor]

A leaking knuckle can also be the result of broken down/too old/poor quality moly grease, not just a bad axle seal letting diff oil in. And you forgot to mark the top on the axle seal, to determine if it had an indentation either above or below, denoting the need for a shim adjustment. And seal removal itself was a bit 'mechanic-esque', as in shoddy. Fine, you make a bur, smooth it out with emery, but you still removed material that is now gone forever. Clearly not your own car. But otherwise, not bad.

[@blixtkrig]

where can i order a rebuilt kit for my hdj 80 shipped to finland

[@Jonesys]

Yes it is the same

[@brian242]

Good stuff

[@aracelisrojas32]

[@dkdk-pd1vn]

F***ing incredible video. Thankyou!

[@tomhawkins8855]

Man the axle is filthy, I couldn't bear to start working until I had all the junk cleaned off of my work area. Otherwise great video.

[@matt-ste]

What tires are those?

[@taoofwoo5641]

Where can we get the rebuild kits? Duiser doesn’t have them on their website

[@Jonesys]

They are offered at adventurevehiclesnw.com.

[@standardarm63]

I've misplaced my + shaped brake tensioners (the part removed at 8:00). Where can I get some? Pep Boys, Orielly's, and Toyota are not able to help.
