This is a great DIY project for an FJ60. Thanks for posting. Great lighting and camera angles.
I would like to see you wrenching on this for a long time. Would have been better for you and your viewers to see some basic PPE, like shoes for you and eye protection for her. Take care and continue building up the 62
Thanks so much for the lovely feedback.
We have actually been getting a lot of feedback on us wearing some more protective gear.
I think you are 100% right that we should lead by example. I’ll make a conscious effort to make sure we are more careful in our videos.
Hope you keep watching.
i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online ?
@Genesis Paxton meh I use Flixportal. just google after it :) -colton
@Colton Mathew thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it!
@Genesis Paxton happy to help =)
Thanks. From Moscow. 👍👍👍
That old Grease is the correct grease that Toyota recommends it is a Lithium Molydysulfide (Castrol LMM). Its awful to get on you but is near on impossible to seize a bearing if used correctly and the hub nut is torqued correctly.
awesome, I really needed to see this
This comment made my day 🙂 So glad we could help!
Thanks for the tutorial im about to attempt this on my 60
Good luck!
After you clean the old grease out of the hub, you should re pack it before placing it back onto the spindle. That hub should be completely full with grease after all said and done.
Im in love...you can work my cruiser any time
شكراً على معلومات
Nice, informative
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. What size are the internal nuts? 54mm?
Just want to say thanks for posting these vids! They are a big help to me when I'm working on my '84 BJ60. What did you use to remove the hard brake line? I tried using a 10mm flared (line) wrench but it started to rounding the bolt. Also definitely invest in those snap ring pliers! You need a special type sometimes call and E ring plier, not tje kind with two points at the end. A good brass drift and mallet are also worth the money too. You'd be suprised on how often you'll need them.
Hey! We actually bought one of those little brake line removal 🔧’s. It worked for most of them but where it didn’t I used a set of Multi Grips I stole off Sofia’s Mum. We need so many tools honestly. I should really buy a welding setup too. We’re currently living with Sofia’s Mum, and she’s being very patient already having a massive rusty Cruiser in her driveway and car parts all over her house so when we find somewhere we can stretch out I’ll invest in better tools.
Thanks for the reply! I think I'm going to have to vise off the fittings too and replace that section of line mostlikely. I totally feel your pain about work space. I do all my work in a small dirt driveway that boarders our apartment building's shared back yard, and inside my home my tools and parts are everwhere. My girlfriend is contantly reminding me that our home is not suppose to look like a garage lol.

16.35" shouldn´t there be a paper gasket for the fwh?
Really enjoying the journey :)
Noticed you didn't repack the inner wheel bearing and replace the hub seal, usually that's done every time 🤔
Look forward to seeing the old girl driving!
@yukka Thanks so much for the lovely feedback!!
I was being absolutely a cheapskate and lazy for not doing that and now I’m paying the price. We have a leak from the back part of the bearing.There’s a full seals kit sitting on our bedroom floor and I’m going to have to do the whole lot before we hit the road. Lesson learnt!
@@NomadEffect you'll be a pro at it by the end at least!
that washer at 5.21" looked like it was not bent at all, this is a retaining washer! when you align the wheel bearing you put that on and bend over the lashes to hold the nut in position!
We actually took all this apart again and rebuilt the hubs with a rebuild kit. So yes there should have been all these things and we later fixed it all up.
I’m no professional so I could be wrong but did you not install the right hand rotor on the left? I thought the direction of the slots were supposed to be the other way, so to push the debris out of the rotor not into the centre?
Thanks for the message. I thought the same!! Even when I was installing I double and triple checked I was installing them as they were instructed. I have to take them off again soon so I’ll make some calls before I reinstall.
@@NomadEffect no hate there but yeah if that’s right should help them clear out the channels and clear out the dust better, ultimately increasing heat dissipation according to another video. Perhaps it’s just a brand thing though so whatever works.
Thanks again for the video I’m looking at tackling this job in the future so it was great to see the disassembly in the works!
So I actually found the instructions for the rotors the other day and I’ve been meaning to update here. StopTech brakes claim to have busted the myth and we have for sure installed correctly. They say that the vents help dissipate heat no matter which way they’re facing and the way they have them face actually increases resistance which in turn increases stopping power. I’m not knowledgeable enough to really argue with StopTech. Hope this helps!
Aussie voice - how cool!! We live in tropical Queensland in the Daintree rainforest...Good on ya Mate,,But if ya get a real haircut you'll find more strength in ya wrist 😂
And after watching this video, you should have let the girl do it...You are no mechanic...
I’m definitely no mechanic but I seem to be going ok!
The Daintree is beautiful! You’re for sure living in one of the most amazing places on earth!!
Thanks for the message!
What's a bloke doing in miami lol
Ha! To be close to Sofia’s family.
@@NomadEffect awesome !
