im going to try and tackle this, this wkend, will take pics. no promises though. if you struggled with it, i surely will

[SillyCarS]

hey guys,

looked through the thread and couldnt find this

is this in the right order? also, you use a pipe to put the bearing on right?

[SillyCarS]

ok, so im gunna hijack here and post a few pics on how im doing things as the info isnt here (probably cos its so basic)

inner bearing seal goes here like this



use an old housing modified to remove bearings, a flat plate welded to box steel would work also





then yeah use a pipe to put bearings back in

bob is your nanny goat

If anyone is doing this conversion send me a PM for a free set of Hilux axles. If not they will be going to the scrap metal bin.

I used a bit of old pipe that was just the right size and some wood to press my new bearings home as well.

The next two photos are NOT directions but questions aimed at clearing up the next stage of the process.





If you can use one of the two pre-existing holes I assume it is the one I have marked. This means that to drill the other three holes requires a small part of the metal flange (marked) to be ground away. Is this correct? Have I got it right? Does this impact on the strength of this part of the backing plate (that holds the handbrake mechanism on the reverse side?)

Assistance would be appreciated as I have to finish this and return the axles for re-pressing on the new bearings, etc.

Cheers,

Peter

Hi Pete,

How bout you get rid of these 2 picures that way the 3 ppl that have followed this guide (which i told them to) using the pics rather than actually reading the text (which would take forever) won't have to get me to fix their backing plates up, or alternately replace them with pics of how to do it correctly

Cheers

Edit: After reading the rest of this thread it seams like these photos have stuffed up a few more ppl than i thought, therefore complete removal of them is probly a good idea even if you have been asking a question and putting red writing above them.

[SillyCarS]

just looking at mine it look like i did mine like that also

it means one of the nuts on the bit of steel that the drums connect up to doesnt get done up, they look like this



are they fucked linden?

[SillyCarS]

yeah the one on the right is fucked ay

linden can you PM me your address and a quote to get it fixed

[Herus]

After that, could you post the right pictures? So i dont fk mine up

[Smokey228]

What was wrong with that?!?

I think my welder cut the wrong side of one of mine and had to remove both those tabs to make it fit. On the other, only one side was removed...

My HB works though...

Cheers,

[SillyCarS]

well if it was up to me i would leave it, all it means is that steel bracket on the back is only joined in 3 places instead of four and the housing is rotated a bit

i dont intend on doing massive handbrakies on the drum brake cos i'll get a hydraulic one

fuck i could just weld it in place

If anyone is doing this conversion send me a PM for a free set of Hilux axles. If not they will be going to the scrap metal bin.

I used a bit of old pipe that was just the right size and some wood to press my new bearings home as well.

are they 5 stud? i have run into some trouble with mine, can you please measure them from the grove where the circlip goes to the end of the shaft

cheers

Tracking down the handbrake internals, can I use the JZA70 or GA70, are there any other donor vehicles I can get these parts from?

[Herus]

Either is fine, other option is to find a Tarago.

Details on which one are in this thread somewhere, it cant be just any old Tarago.

The rotors are the same, but the handbrake internals may be different.

Couldnt see why they would be tho.

[Youngy]

They are 5 stud out of an RN85

Yep the one on the right looks odd. See the relationship to where the handbrake cable mounts through that hole to the hub carrier.

I can send some pics of my backing plates to someone to post up if need be. Yes you will end up with one blind stud and two bolts holding the handbrake pivot in place. Add a bead of weld where you grind things out and it will be fine.
