How to replace a clutch - N70 Hilux (literally any 4wd) kun26r clutch replacement guide

[@addisonburn8508]

Replaced mine following your steps almost to a tee. Will note for any fellas out there putting in a NPC clutch, the manual states 178nm on the flywheel bolts and 39nm of flywheel pressure plate bolts along with the new thrust bearing not needing the clip. Cheers fellas great tutorial 👍

[@matthewsinclair8807]

Really great job guys . No dicking around just good quality Aussie blokes showing you how it’s done . I look forward to more quality vids so I can help my young bloke with his Hilux . Cheers 👍

[@alltheboosted]

Thanks lads for the video just finished doing my clutch on my N70 all by myself i did borrow a gearbox jack off a friend apart from that managed to do it all in my driveway CHEERS very much time for a beer and a test drive

[@rickandersen707]

Thanks fellas......I would have been in the land of confuscious had I not seen your video.......did a few things differently but stuck with your basic guidelines.......cheers guys....well done

[@CoilsDesign]

Well done guys, I'm doing a Toyota prado clutch right now 😊

[@snells-window]

Great video. Not sure why i watched as i now drive an auto, but did this on an old HJ47 by myself...gearbox balanced on a bbq plate on a trolly jack.

[@foordoffroad8915]

That’s awesome, thinking outside the box 👍

[@wildsidechopshop7656]

Well done guys, just done mine following your video 🤙🤙👌

[@flatoutt1]

G'day men .thanks for taking the time and energy to put this very informative and well done vid ,together . big help . how many hours would you estimate ,when you half know what you're doing ?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Hey mate thanks, on the ground will be around 2 hours out half hour change over the clutch and about 2-3 back in If you have a hoist to use then the whole job normally only takes about 3-3.5 hours

[@alfaalfa1055]

well done.very hard job was performed.but clutch had overtemperatute. Do you like offroad probably?

[@noeloneill6350]

Great video, Just had my clutch done by some big brand company, got it back with massive rattle coming from my gearbox, obviously trust bearing. question. is it common practice to change trust bearing while changing clutch.......also my clutch was engaging rite on floor, so thanks for the adjustment tips.....Great video

[@foordoffroad8915]

Thanks mate, yeah it 100% should be replaced along with the clutch especially at a professional workshop Clutch kits come with a new thrust bearing so I can’t see a reason not to replace it Unless it was a warranty job and only the clutch itself is covered

[@AustinAllen-dt9xt]

Hey mate, awesome video. I'm planning on doing a clutch replacement in a Kun16r are you aware of anything unique to the 2wd model? Cheers!

[@sappo6342]

I’m about to do this with my n70 next to my project troopy in the shed 😂

[@Andre-tv9qs]

Really appreciate this great vid mate!

[@flincher9633]

Great video info was awesome will be definitely my go to for when doing my clutch would it be worth while buying a gearbox attachment for a single jack ?

[@romeshromeodevos4800]

You guys are legends@ thanks for the great video guys! You mentioned you were going to use a special tool to put the bearing in but never used it.....did u need to use it?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Thanks, the tool is more to pull it out it’s called a spigot bearing puller and just tap the new bearing in with a hammer just hitting on the race not the actual bearing

[@othmanbongkol1028]

Good video bro, keep it up..👍👍👍

[@justinockerby4739]

Awsome video how many screws hold the floor plate for the gear stick is there any plugs thanks

[@thomasrichmond3362]

Hey mate about to do mine tomorrow so glad there’s a video about this stuff but when pulling out the gear sticks do they have to be in a certain gear?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Easier if it’s in neutral and 2wd

[@brendoncox1449]

Great Video mate. A mate got a mechanic to change his, but after the clutch was replaced it would not engage 4wd anymore. Was working before going into shop. Do you know why this would happen?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Probably didn’t line the 4wd shifter up properly when they put it back into the box

[@brendoncox1449]

@@foordoffroad8915 Hi mate, thanks heaps, yes that was the problem the shifter was completely out of the slot. We had to replace bush as they stuffed it. I have another issue if you could help me with please. In front of the gearbox shift housing there is a pipe on a 90 about 3/8 size that faces the passenger side of car. It looks as though it would have a hose on it or something. It has nothing attached and I can't find a picture of the same gearbox to see where it goes. I found the 2 little side breathers had nothing connected as well. The mechanic that did the clutch has left all this off as well.

[@foordoffroad8915]

Sounds like you need a new mechanic mate, they will be the gearbox breathers only really useful if your going through deep water offroad but still they should be connected, I’d suggest getting a aftermarket breather kit and doing the front and rear diff breathers too

[@brendoncox1449]

@@foordoffroad8915 Thanks heaps mate. I thought it might be another breather. I will connect everything back up. Yeah I told my mate never to use that mechanic again. Thanks heaps mate. Your video's are awesome and very informative.

long job when you are working by your self without help, done this for a 98 hilux but for a KUN26R its heavy and hard

Does the spring bit on the back of the bearing come in the kit?

[@alwoolhouse6255]

Thanks - going to be useful. Greetings from Spain.

[@flatoutt1]

me again me . how good are you on charging issues .got a hilux 84 LN65 2L engine . got a 3 pin black plug (F,N are parallel and the top one is E (external regulator) going into the top of the alternator . charge light is still on when running (where's the diode,camp on that circuit so i can test it ) that's charging up to 17 volts . with the charge light still on . how do i test my regulator to see if it's cactus . (solid state) .seems like the field is running flatout out (12volts going through the brushes) to put that voltage out . or can you point me in the right direction to get the knowledge i need .

[@stefanvanderwesthuizen4913]

Real helpful! Is it a mission to do the Crank seal while the box is out?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Fairly easy to change, probably add about 45 minutes to the job

[@stefanvanderwesthuizen4913]

@@foordoffroad8915 ok cool thanks. That box is so freakin heavy!!! Pulled mine by myself today, clutch plate COOKED! Seals not leaking, dunno if i should pull them and replace... Seems like, if it aint itchin, dont scratch it... What do you think mate?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Up to you if you replace it or not but yeah if it’s not leaking then I wouldn’t worry

[@adamdickford8819]

Hey mate I’ve changed to a heavy duty clutch in mine and now she doesn’t wanna accept gears it’s not fully disengaging could this be a pedal adjustment issue?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Yep sounds like it is mate

[@oscarnicolaihauge6257]

Were to putt the 4x4 gear shaft

[@bryanmendoza3887]

Awesome😎🤙

[@kwanthari9227]

Do you need to worry about bleeding any fluids if doing a straight clutch replacement? I've seen alot of things saying that it's worth draining the clutch fluid and replacing the slave cylinder. But is that necessary?

[@foordoffroad8915]

You can if you want but don’t have to on the Hilux

[@atwogun7751]

Hi mate, going to do mine this week. at 4:23 where you lower the gearbox with top bolts of bell housing still attached to get access to the cables. Does that not bend or break anything at the engine side as it's still attached?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Nope it just leans the engine back a bit to help get the top bolts, on older cars you need to keep and eye on the fan hitting the radiator but on a Hilux there is plenty of room

[@atwogun7751]

@@foordoffroad8915 Cool thanks for the reply

[@Jrutty474]

Do you need to drop any gearbox oil ?

[@kernjulien1981]

Guys, I'll like some help please, I have a 2013 Hilux my clutch squeaks when I'm engaging it I'm not a mechanic to and will like to fix myself.. thanks in advance .

[@harrybalang]

hi mate, how many inches is the size of this clutch ?

[@billyliddy5833]

Thanks for showing us that. Can you expect a few smells when using low range for the first time? I had mine changed and was 4wheeling up a hill and my ute had a moderate smell that i thought was clutch smell.

[@foordoffroad8915]

A clutch should bed in straight away unless your making huge power so shouldn’t get any smell from a Hilux However if it was going to then it would happen in 4low trying to supply max torque to all 4 wheels, either that or the pedal isn’t adjusted quite right and it’s holding the clutch slightly on

[@thefifthdragon]

Thanks guys. Going to attempt doing it solo.

[@chaisekeighran6557]

What was the name of that bearing that rattles when it wears. I had a new heavy duty clutch installed in my kun26r hilux. After 10months it rattle when clutch isn't engaged. All I need is to literally touch clutch and it stops the rattle

[@foordoffroad8915]

Thrust bearing

[@alftorrisi8795]

Mine does exactly the same. Annoying … and it hasn’t been through and crossings etc. I’ve just done a clutch in my sons car and I’ve noticed that supplied bearing are not Japanese items anymore. Cheap unbranded stuff could be the cause of early failures

[@brettkuhnold216]

Mine did exactly the same straight after the new heavy duty clutch was installed. The mechanic said it is the front tranny bearing. Is this correct, do I now need to pull the gearbox out and replace the bearing 😫

[@hartgreen]

What is the name of that bearing that you replaced on the trans shaft?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Thrust bearing

[@atwogun7751]

Hi would this be the same for a V6 GGN25R?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Very very similar yes

[@jordanmorrissy665]

how many hours do you think it took you?

[@foordoffroad8915]

On the ground probably about 1:30 - 2 out and 2 - 2:30 back in On a hoist with a gearbox jack it’s about and hour out and 1:30 back in

[@genyuri7313]

After the clutch was changed in my Hilux. I noticed that the 4H doesn't work anymore. Only 2H and 4L works

[@foordoffroad8915]

I’d guess The 4wd shifter won’t be clipped in and lined up properly in the box

[@becattwood3600]

Did you actually cut the floor lining Yeah come do my car

[@foordoffroad8915]

Makes it easier in vinyl floor cars to just snip that bit
