Manual locking hub install 93 Toyota pickup

[@stco2426]

Cool. Am about to pull apart my Toyota / AISIN hubs to replace brake disks and sort out driveshaft boots so hoovering up all content that’s out there. My van is similar vintage. I didn’t realise just how easy the flange swap was. Many thanks.

[@ils360]

What kind of van do you have? What year?

[@TheDeafMechanic]

Manual hubs for the win. I'd take them over the vacumn junk anyday lol

[@mattd8411]

Thanks man for the video

[@DreamKalibur]

Very thorough. Thank you!

[@ils360]

You're very welcome :-)

[@margaretgoode2172]

what is the NAME of the part you refer to as "this guy" at time marker 4:45, please. Ours cracked off, so....we need to figure out how to proceed

[@ils360]

The part in the middle is The CV axle itself is that the part you're talking about?

[@dustinweinreb4501]

What is the gasket that you mention at the end? Is that something else that I need to buy besides the hubs and if so could you drop a link for it? Thanks for the great video btw about to level up my 94 4runner

[@jeffgood6441]

Just smear some rtv on it and call it a day

[@hades-_-mervyn496]

I put some on my hilux and the cvs still spin slightly, lack of greasing maybe 🤔 or do the need some breaking in

[@ils360]

Make sure the splines in the locking hubs to the splines on the axles match and lock and fully unlock correctly if the CV axles are still spinning slightly it could just be due to the bearings in the axle end having a little bit of friction with the grease which is perfectly normal you just shouldn't be able to grab the CV axle itself and spin it and the tire at the same time if the CV axle spins the tire then it's definitely not unlocking correctly

Did the hub conversion help with fuel mileage?

[@ils360]

Just a little bit but not enough to overcome the cost of new manual hubs if you can find them cheap like 30 40 bucks I would say it's worth it just make sure you're getting used quality parts not brand new garbage parts that will break on you

[@manny4486]

@@ils360 right on! thanks for the fast reply. Thinking about doing this conversion, and found brand new aisin hubs on rockauto for $89 each.

[@isakq]

Just wondering is it safe to remove the hub cover without cranking the wheel up?

[@ils360]

Oh yeah 👍 doesn't hold the wheel on Now messing with the bearings or lug nuts you would definitely want to but just taking the hub cover off you don't need to lift the truck

[@isakq]

@@ils360 Alright thanks!

[@wizard8868]

mine isn't locking so uma have to go manual locks also. do you know the actual name of the vacuum 4x4?

[@ils360]

I don't off the top of my head

[@cammk9415]

quick question about my 93? what do i do with the entire vacuum line assembly etc? mine works but should i remove it all or would that effect this

[@ils360]

So there's a couple different directions you could go you could either leave it alone but still have the manual locking hubs being able to dislocate the wheels from the differential a little bit redundant but could be done number two you could disable the system move the fork over to the lock position and find a way to keep it there or three find a new axle shaft for the side that the vacuum lock and unlock solenoid sits on and replace it with a solid shaft getting rid of the need for that system at all I'm sure there are other avenues that you could go as well these are just a few of them.

[@cammk9415]

@@ils360 thanks man is there any issue just doing the hub swap and leaving everything there? like will it basically be the same as an oem manual hub truck or is the engagement of 4x4 etc still not the swme

[@ils360]

@@cammk9415 so having both systems in play it will be like having to different setups ultimately the original vacuum system will be the defining factor in whether the front wheels get the power or not but having the locking hubs will just be a secondary way of disabling that power. No problems and having both systems just kind of redundant and not really needed 🤷🏼‍♂️ seeing as the only thing different is having to get out and walk in the hubs unless you are worried about the original system failing and staying locked in

[@cammk9415]

@@ils360 if i keep the vacuum system and do the hub swap what happens if the vacuum system fails?? also is there any video tutorials on how to remove it all and keep is strictly just the hub setup

[@chrismunguia6515]

I’m looking to do a manual hub swap on my 93 4runner, would I have to do anything with the vacuum lines or just leave them installed after swapping to manual hub?

[@ils360]

You can leave the vacuum lines as long as they do still function and lock up the axel mine was actually stuck in the locked position there are some that actually make a plate to go in there to keep it locked or get the actuator to go one direction and lock it in place somehowbut if you don't feel like removing them as long as it locks up and allows the four-wheel drive to work that's all you need

[@murphy13295]

@@ils360 Thank you for this information . I'm going to ask but I think I know the answer .Should I do this swap to manual locking hub ,I do not need to take apart but mount as it is assembled using alignment keys for assembly . Second I plan on new ,not rebuilds . Any suggestions . Ty Murphy .

[@robinresre818]

That looks pretty simple can you do it on a 1990

[@ils360]

Yes you can

[@mitchellavalos3]

What about the 4wd indicator light? Does that stay on now that the shift fork is locked in place or a different story?

[@ils360]

On this model the four-wheel drive light only comes on when the T-case is in four-wheel drive

[@mitchellavalos3]

ils360 thanks for the quick reply

[@ils360]

@@mitchellavalos3 no prob 👍

[@christophercutajar4020]

You will still need to push the button on the 4wd leaver to engage 4x4 ?

[@ils360]

Button on the four-wheel drive lever?

[@christophercutajar4020]

@@ils360 yea my 1992 had just l4 and H on the small 4x4 lever and on the side of the lever a button to engage the 4x4.... Maybe because mine is a ln107 japan spec model like the one in the link. www.autoexpert.jp/japan-used/toyota-hilux-1993-24161.html

[@robinresre818]

That doesn't make any sense you're not telling us the whole story I have a 1990 am it's a full-time four-wheel drive but I want to put locking hubs in it it's a five-speed with a shifter from high low four wheel drive

[@ils360]

I'm not telling the whole story? How so? What questions can I answer for you?

[@solvisnrgumundsson6254]

Did you put that gold bolt with washer back in before closing the hub up ?

[@ils360]

No it is no longer needed due to that being a part of the old hub system it would actually stop the new manual locking hubs from going on
