I enjoy hearing Paul's detailed explanations. Thanks for sharing.

[@andicog]

Quite surprising that the rear stubs are part of the axle casing and that Toyota didn't make at least the rear hub seal area replaceable like on early Land Rover series, similar with the front swivel balls, on Series and Defender these are a bolt on part and easy to replace, only the military 101 Forward control has the swivel balls as part of the axle as I remember. Keep up the good work 👍

[@Bubbles12345-cat]

Kudos for the youngster greasing that bearing, he's doing it correctly. Paul and his boys are awesome! You're in excellent hands Andrew. 😁😁👍👍👍

[@doradosurfcharters]

Since when has that been protocol 🤦‍♂️

[@4xoverland]

since the day when roller bearings were invented.

Thanks Paul

Thank you Paul Marsh 🙏

Everybody needs a Paul True legend Love you more Paul because you visited my little Sri Lanka

[@WheresJoseToday-im1gr]

Always a pleasant experience watching Paul explain things! Makes me want to work at his shop!

[@Whoosh0001]

Clear & enlightning. Thanks for this one.

[@BorisEkner]

A friend of mine is a race car mechanic. He is on par with Paul Marsh.

[@porcobene_media]

All this looks so easy and clear and understandable. But in reality this repairing are very very expensive over her in germany. Each of the things shown in the episodes. I really like this series.

[@mjcavender1230]

Paul is good people. Keep him around. 😁

[@paramount10987]

This was an incredibly valuable video for me and my 100 series. Thank you for putting this video out.

[@ngasilingowe8375]

Outer part of the seal moves with the hub? That seal is another moving part? Please share some more details, it doesnot sound durable

[@Queensizemusic]

Incredible

Thank you

[@craigtomkinson2837]

Lovely work

[@hein2958]

Thanks.

[@blackdog9042]

Good informative video

[@ryanfogarty4311]

Were close with the repair but you should have a cut a root gap in and then welded it up, made sure there was no undercut blended the start and stop and left it at that no need to make it ugly with the flat bar. But anyways it won’t break just looks like a mechanic did it not a welder ahah

[@adammoodley2722]

I am no professional. But sounds like you really know your stuff. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@kato695]

wouldve been nice to see the weld!

@@4xoverland may be he meant the " world". In that case after the built ....lolest

[@Andre_XX]

What is the "bearing lock" he is referring to? Is it something like "Locktite 641"?

[@marcgucciardo1942]

Retaining compound. Fills fairly large gaps on worn bearing mountings. Yes 641

[@Andre_XX]

@@marcgucciardo1942 OK, thanks.

[@gippy6105]

You can bearing lock the inside bearing but the outside needs to be free for adjustment all wheel bearing sets require free play of between 0.002' to 0.004" thousands of an inch freeplay to allow for thermal expansion. Sorry Paul your wrong as with moly grease hurting crown wheel and pinion surfaces.

[@adammoodley2722]

What's your opinion on the Terrane Tammer parts being used ?

[@gippy6105]

@@adammoodley2722 There parts appear to be of good quality.

[@Patshes]

I've had to repair rear axle housing cracks on two cruisers before.

[@josephnyarkoboateng1112]

Paul, can you help me get the terrain tamer wheel bearing kit for my 105, I'm in Ghana.

[@jaspalriat6001]

Paul is a good source of information but he does like to go on a bit. Would have been nice to hear more from Snyemar (owner of workshop).

[@reedmurungweni2091]

Peeps where are you getting this attitude. Let us learn quietly 🤫. I mean it's only 8mins

[@forreststrong797]

Im not familiar with these land cruisers being an American, but i thought i saw a video where someone was replacing the axle stubs/spindles on the rear in a kit to widen the rear axle to match the width of the front? I think that would also be a good option for a repair too? I think it also gives a gvm upgrade too maybe?

[@marcgucciardo1942]

When the diesel v8 was fitted the front end was also widened . However the rear track remained narrow. There are rear axle conversions to match the front track

[@forreststrong797]

@@marcgucciardo1942 oh ok thanks for clarification, I thought I remembered seeing a video about that. Is there a kit to weld on new spindles that also widen the rear track to match the front? Something that comes with new spindles would seem like a good upgrade and repair if the bearing surfaces are wiped out especially to match the front track width on vehicles that have the v8. I thought in the video I saw there was multiple options from spacers or different offset wheels to a bolt on or weld on kit all the way up to a fabricated axle housing. I tried finding the video but I just can't remember what it was or where I saw it.

[@marcgucciardo1942]

@@forreststrong797 yes I think there are a number of different options to widen the rear

[@solomon8864]

How many drivers drive this car?

[@PatrickRich]

Alright fine... I'll replace my bearings. I keep putting it off
