[@mitchsimpson2384]

Top video mate, about to tackle mine this weekend on HZJ78R Troopy after LHR wheel bearings let go last weekend. Will have your video up on my phone saturday morning as guidance! Cheers, Mitch

[@dunne_family_adventures]

[@Madaniyt]

Thanks for video. Can you tell me partnumber of this bearings?

[@dunne_family_adventures]

@@Madaniyt not sure off the top of my head sorry, any automotive shop will be able to look up the part number and sell you the correct ones

DEFO TENSION YOUR WHEEL BEARING TO TORQUE SPEC.

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Torque is set using a spring tension gauge, when doing it enough you get the feel and also not everyone has access to a gauge which is why is showed doing it this way. It’s also the common way in most workshops and was the way I was taught in my apprenticeship.

Hi Did u lock diff prior to removing axle?

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Very informative and well presented

Gady mate, Just wondering if you had to engage your rear diff lock before removing the axle?

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Hey mate nah you shouldn’t have to engage diff locks to remove I don’t actually have any diff locks in mine but if yours does it should come out unlocked if you’ve got trouble removing it it may be due to a twisted axle or some other issue

[@swiliarms]

Thanks mate - just did mine. Great video. Had a question about the axle oil seal with the spring retainer. I had someone do my bearings whilst doing my suspension and afterwards I had diff oil leaking out. Opened it up and both axle seals were damaged. Are you aware of what way they are meant to be installed. I had the spring retainer side into the diff as it seemed like a leading edge.

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Hey mate, yeh spring side towards the oil

[@micktaylorwolfcreekmechanical]

Cheap seals don't last long go toyota oem or terrain tamer. changing cheap seals isn't to bad on the rear but that cheap seal on front inner axle is a massive job

[@ianmelling6214]

Thank you very little difference from my 80 series

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Your welcome

[@michaelnugara1]

How have you found the parabolic springs mate? What make are they and load rating? Thanks for the vid Cheers Mick

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Hey mate, the parabolics are great, I went with westralia springs and got the heavy duty rated ones with weight in the back I find they ride really well and quite flexible.

[@michaelnugara1]

@@dunne_family_adventures oh okay, great to know. what is the constant load rating? Cheers Mick

[@dunne_family_adventures]

@@michaelnugara1 it’s 500kg

[@charlesenglish5523]

Do you have to replace all hub seals if you just have to repack the bearings

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Any seal or gasket you remove you should replace as they can get damaged on removal even if it looks like they are fine it’s cheap insurance to just replace them. That’s my personal recommendation and opinion anyway

[@charlesenglish5523]

@@dunne_family_adventures ok thanks mate very helpful video

[@dunne_family_adventures]

No problem cheers for the feedback

[@interestedwatcher6]

Great video. Well done.

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Thanks mate

[@17th_Street_Preacher]

Be nice if they came with sealed bearings like 200 series..looks like half a day on all 4 wheels if you know what you’re doing

[@dunne_family_adventures]

@@17th_Street_Preacher yeh it’s a decent job

More info video Toyota land cruiser 70 series!!!

[@thilmanycreative5985]

Thanks for that video mate. It’s hard to find a good video in german ;) I discovered that my bearings are a bit loose. Do you think it’s possible to just tighten it up? I have the same problem at the front axle. I have a HZJ78 I’m gonna tackle the issue next week.

[@dunne_family_adventures]

G’day mate, yeh if they don’t need to be re-greased you can just tighten up the locking nuts

[@simonilett998]

What about the axle seals? Did you forget to install the new ones? You didn't mention that during reassembly?

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Hey mate thanks for pointing that out I definitely installed a new one I do talk about them when I take them but must have skipped over that bit when editing the video sorry

[@MrUnK0]

Well I already stripped one of those Philips screws 😂 I tried so hard with my best screwdriver and a hammer but can't always win 😂

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Oh nightmare 😂 well it if it isn’t took far gone you might be able to still get it with an impact screwdriver if you able to get your hands on one

[@micktaylorwolfcreekmechanical]

impact screwdriver about $25 from sca my problem was after snapping the studs twice in a month or 2 was that only was 1 lock screw not 2 fingers crossed local toyota has some in stock or looks like waiting a week to get them posted from all4x4.

[@pauljbusby]

How many KM's did you get out of them. My 76 has done 130k and the rear bearing has very little to no wear

[@dunne_family_adventures]

This video was taken at about 140k and that was the first time I had done them personally, not sure of the history before I got the car

[@KOBBSdiesel]

wondering know how did you measure and adjust the bearing preload ?

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Hey mate I went off feel, as that how I was taught but you can you a preload spring if you want.

[@jonascagape520]

Is that a double bearing at the rear axle?

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Yes there is a bearing each side of the hub

[@warrenoakes3421]

what about the outer seal?

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Hey Warren sorry not sure what you mean?

[@RussellCarr-r9q]

What you are calling cones are actually the cups.what you calling collars are collets.40 years in trade.not trying to be smart,just for your information

[@dunne_family_adventures]

Thanks, I’m also qualified and in the trade I’ve heard lots of things called different names depending on where I’ve work so maybe it’s one of those things.
