Note: This is NOT a tutorial. This was just to get me home. Do not follow what was done in this video to repair your own vehicle.
Great video!! I love that you worked with your dad.I'm certain he's proud of you.
Awh thank you! And yeah it's great to work together when we get the chance
Hello Danie. Very pleased to see an independent young lady prepaired to prove that maintenance is important. Working with your father must be a buzz for you both. Keep it going into the future and keep 4x4ing.
It is really great and thank you!
Love your highlight of mental health! using your platform to raise awareness is ace! love your work!
i had the same issue in my sixty series...rear diff pinon seal leaking..fixed the seal..after a few months later diff centre locked up leaving me stranded on the road...worn. centre bearing caused the leak had to put reconditioned centre in..no trouble since ...fifteen years...later old sixty still going strong....great effort Danie working on your 75 series only way to learn everything about your 4x4 cheers jamie .
Oh man that sounds like it wasn't fun at all! But thank you:)
Hope the flood recovery is going well up there. Another good DIY repair. Nice to see dad roped into the job 👍
Slow but has been such incredible support from the community that it's all moving along. Yeah I'm not home alot so it's good to work together!
I’ve got 2 79 Series and just replace my pinion seal. But I enjoyed watching you and your father. Would love to run into one and have a beer. Keep it up
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when some dodgy mechanic tries to talk bullshit to a girl like you about a car repair. Great work Danie.
I never go to a mechanic but yeah would be funny haha
Well done :) , good to see a dad n daughter team up , I did the same with my daughter and she is more than capable now to look after her own Cruiser...I’m still there as always to help and advise ......if she asks lol !
That's so awesome to hear! Always great to pass that knowledge down especially to daughters
Nothing much to add to this maintenance, you did a pretty clean job, its always a joy to watch you work. I loved every bit of it, thank you.
So awesome to hear Thank you!
Little tip for speedi sleeves for you all. If the groove in the shaft is excessively deep then you may need to throw some devcon or other similar metal putty around the groove before the speedi goes on. If you dont do this you can have an air gap under the sleeve (right where the seal lip runs) and it will overheat, fail and tears the seal. Used this trick many times on industrial gearboxes (fixed plant stuff not automotive/transportation) and never had one leak or fail prematurely.
That speedy seal was awesome, you maybe just saved me alot of money. I´m about to do the exact same job and i have no idea what the flange looks like, but i would most likey bought a new one haden´t i watched this video first. Thank you, and yes, lucky dad.
Love it, the way you can squeeze into the hard to get spots. Great job.
Cheers! Just learnt a thing or two. Got a similar problem on my ride. But not nearly as much room underneath to work in. Apart from doing a good job and being yourself, you're super cute all along. Keep up the videos please.
That's awesome to hear you learnt something! And thank you😊😊
I saw this channel about two moths ago and I didn’t subscribe but now I realise your also aussie you also love landcruisers and ultimately what made me sub was that you helped people in that non aussie weathers
Thank you
Danie Simpson omg I just realised you highlighted it tysm
Great video again. We're going to go and check all the breather tubes right away. Knowing what you need tools (and alternatives) is really good if you live a fair way out of town like we do. Thanks
Thank you! And yes I think I'll have to do a video one day when I install my extended breathers
I like the shirt and the reasons for it, us men do bottle things up so true, I will be getting me one, well nice job, this time cant fault it for home repairs and also adding some more tools to your kit.
You are right about no axle stands, on the trail it would be the wheel/tyre under the axle, or a big rock or tree stump.
That's it hey and definitely gotta get one!!
And yes just gotta make do and adapt:)
Awesome job.
Brilliant ! keep them coming. Liking the safety boots!!! 👍
Haha yeah classic QLD attire
Great to see you back Danie. Love your work and great to see you working with your old man on the tools. As usual awesome material that's just so natural and relatable for everyday folk. Hope you and the Fam are OK after the flooding. It was shocking to see so much water and damage from my little safe spot on the Sunny Coast. One thing in Australia is certain though, disasters tend to bring out core mateship values and bring the community closer together.
Thank you very much wonderful feedback! And that's exactly it hey seeing the community fine together and offer help was amazing
I invested in a small magnetized nut/bolt/washer tray. Keeps the metal fasteners from hiding in the grass or dirt. Or, if one gets clumsy with their feet, hands, or elbows, the nuts, bolts, and washers don’t go flying. Pretty easy to make too.
Great video again Danie, I'm sure you inspire a lot of people in so many ways with your can-do attitude. You are a great ambassador for the shirts, . . . . . poetry in motion, . . . . . good onya !!, cheers.
Thank you very much that's wonderful feedback
Great video Danie! Clear, precise, covering other options. Mine started to leak on the way back from Cape York. I'll do it next week. From a fellow Townsville Cruiser owner.
Pretty cool to see you and your Dad work together, a video you will enjoy more every year.. The notification bell will give a notification!
Great video, you are a great communicator, as well as a knowledgeable mechanic. PS love the shirt.
Thank you!
Hey Danie!
I love your vid's and your approach to get stuff done!
I saw the flood... man... things like that happen and you truely see the metal people are made of....
On the TradeMutt's thing.... From the bottom of my heart....Thank you!
Thank you very no much!!
Thank you for taking the time to video this. I enjoyed it alot. Unfortunately don't know much about cars in general or 4wds. My brother took me 4wd driving over in WA and it was amazing. We did alot of sand dunes and beaches. I got to drive along a fine and loved it. Now trying to learn more. Both driving, mechanical and general information. Love camping too.
Thank you for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
Nice video and good to se some warm weather i have three more monts until summer starts... so i am almost hibernating like the bears... Geetings from Sweden...
Thank you! And oh boy must be freezing over there. We are on 40 degrees celsius days!
Great work. Keep the video's coming. Don't worry about negative comments be proud of what you do
Thank you very much and I try
Great message about the shirt.......you're obviously close to your dad and that's great to see.
Thank you
All exited that you uploaded
Can't wait for the next one 😁👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you!!
Great video as always.
Best thing about the speedi sleve is that it puts a touch of extra pretension on the seal.
Best way on the rear preload on the cruser is to pull the axles as you wont get any drag.
Keep up the awesome work
Thank you very much:)
Amazing as ever an you dont.have to apologize for not posting we all understand
Thank you!
@@DanieSimpson your so very welcome
Great video once again Danie, just proves to other people especially young ladies that you can do these things if you set your mind to it and have self belief. Keep up the great work... :-)
Thank you very much
Really good video, oh so easy to do in a workshop with a two post lift but great to see it done "bush mechanic" style.
On a note about diff breathers, the diffs can actually create a negative pressure when going through water which will actual create a suction, hence water in the diffs.
Not a hard job to extend them.
Ah, a video opportunity waits.
So much room under there to work. Lovely truck, is it a 4.2 1HZ
Thank you and yes 4.2 1hz
Terrain tamer do a solid spacer and shim set for the pinion, no need to set preload etc, very easy to install, youll be able to do it with the tools you've used here.
My question is , how do you know all this stuff 😱😱😱 !!!!!?, great video 👍 and great work on helping people around Townsville 🍻
Well it is my job but before that I learned mostly just from reading manuals and watching videos:)
I guess your dad knows he has an amazing daughter right lol
Im impressed at the job you have taken upon yourself to do thats amazing well done danie
I’m a boilermaker and I hold my hammer like that to do “delicate” hammering! So nothing to worry about there.
Yeah definitely more accurate for me too hey haha
Hi from the Rockies love your vids I use a 2-3/8 socket to put my pinion seal in way faster than a drift ! Keep up the good work... Ej
👍🤘for both your ability to do DIY but also for mental health. Great vids. Keep it up
Love the mental health shirt and it’s vice of interaction with stuff written on the back x
Such a great idea hey, would definitely get people feeling comfortable to talk the more its seen out and about
Nice video Danie. I think I actually love you 😍
Great video Danie nice fix glad everyone helped each other around Townsville 👍🇦🇺🍻
Yeah it was really great to see!
Danie Simpson ❤️
You probably did a more precise job than most backyarders.
There is just something spectacular about a girl that does guy stuff. I've got a 79 & I am learning stuff from you! Love it!!
Oh thank you very much:)
So kool to see a Girl working on their vehicle's, Love seeing girls get greasy, proud of you
Yeah definitely! Good fun
What a Badass 😍
I would love doing mechanic with you.
Again a great video...Have a nice day!
Thank you!
Great video keep it I hope u get heaps of support from everyone and make your amazing Channel grow
Thank you very much!
Good you cleared the Vent. 👍
Props goes out to pops.
Hey just found your channel, awesome stuff!!
I'm new to repairing vehicles, but just replaced the CV, control arms, and wheel bearing for the first time on my Highlander, and now have the DIY repair bug haha...it was so fun lol!! Keep the vids coming!
Awesome!! Thank you
Well done Danni.
Buy a knuckle bar to undo stuff, generally longer than a ratchet and no gears to strip.
Loctite under the speed sleeve is a good idea.
Doing up the nut, yep you wont get anywhere near the manual stated torque as the crush sleeve has already started to collapse which was why the nut was easy to get off. The full job can now be conveniently put off until next time it leaks catastrophicly as there's always something more fun to do.
One day you'll actually be able to do repairs at home, where all your tools, flat ground and friends network are. One day.
I'm impressed that you are small enough to work on the diff from above, there are times I wish I could do that.
So what are you breaking next?
Cheers
Thank you and yes having a lifted car and being small definitely has its advantages:) some mods next I think
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this diane, awesome work 🤙
looks good.. and a perfect Job.. dont forget to Chance the diff oil at the interval... and the air tube must everytime free and if you make this longer and very high on your landcruiser you do them a good life... water or mud in oil isnt good in the diff
Yes I know hence why I mentioned all of that 👍
Great video. Nice to see a young person having a go. The only thing I might add on the use of speedy sleeves is to use some locktite under them. It helps slip them on and reduce the chance of damage and it also glues them in place. Which can stop oil leaking between the shaft and the sleeve and stops the sleeve from moving due to expansion,or the fit to the shaft.
Good work to on raising the issue of mental health.
Noted! And thank you:)
Yeah the collapsible spacer setup on lighter duty stuff is a bit shit ay? Larger final drives use shims, much easier to set and removes the guesswork. Nice job! Hope you shouted the old man a 🍻
Thanks for the cool awesome video update...plus progress on your 75 not 79 😁😁😁👌👌... please do more videos up coming with your Cruiser 🤩🤩👍👍
Haha thank you! And will do
hello from Canada, just subscribed, great work, I admire a girl that maintains there ride.
Thank you
Howdie Mate, you can feel the bearing friction with you hand with the wheels off the ground, the bearing preload is normally set with a shim or the crush sleeve. 😎
Yes it is set with a crush spacer. Since I wasn't replacing it. I wasn't too concerned with setting the preload. But the correct way is to use a torque meter
Extend diff breathers - thanks for the reminder!
No worries!
Hope you are well it is good to see a girl with a Lang cruiser I have a 100 series 105 and I love Landcruiser’s
thanks for sharing . sadly my daughter wants to be a hairdresser . greetings from the netherlands
Nothing wrong with that! I could never do what my hairdresser does and you've just gotta do what you love in life
Hy Just found ur channel👍
Pretty kool vids EXACTLY how 4wding is all about.
Raw, simple and informative.
About to start my 4x4 adventures with buying my 1st 4x4.
Will be hitting Glass House Tracks for my first outing.
Enjoyed watching it playlist and look toward to it next👌
That's awesome glasshouse is heaps of fun!
Yew already know this is gonna be a banger
Haha love the support!
Great vid .
Thankyou.
Hello dear i like your work it helps me so big
Not to pick apart your work as you're doing it and not paying a shop big money to do it for you and your obviously learning as you go(which many do not feel the need to go through the process as it's easier to pay someone else to do it) Here are some tips from my personal experience dealing with axles and seal surfaces.....this was due to failures in my workmanship and caused me to do the job twice! Plus since this is a quick fix you did if it starts leaking again you have something to look for.
If using a speedy sleeve us a little bit of loctite or equivalent thread locker on the machined surface that the speedy sleeve is being installed onto, this will do two major things.
1. It will ensure the sleeve never moves or slides out of place when things heat up(quality of speedy sleeves aren't that great so inherently some will be larger than others) Some axle manufactures put thread locker on the axle carrier bearing caps when installing the carrier to ensure you don't spin the bearing race....same concept here
2. It will keep gear oil from seeping under the sleeve and making it look like the new seal it leaking. Same thing for front and rear main seals, crank case pressure with engine vibration will literally move the sleeve and push oil under it. Don't have to use red high strength just something to fill the gap and "glue" it in place.
It's a good idea to put some rtv/silicone/sealant on the splines of the driveshaft flange to keep the oil from seeping past making it appear the seal is leaking, don't use a lot as you will fight this the next time you remove the flange.
Always remember.....if it works its not stupid, it's just another way of doing it!
I have this to look forward to this week...except it's a pinion bearing and locker o-rings :(
U deserve a like. Good job girl
thank you!!
The bangy way is more fun love it haha
Hahaa 😁😁
@@DanieSimpson I also found myself using the noisy tool the same way today yay front hubs
@@kradikt666 haha sounds fun!
Great video!
Great Job.
I'm at mech, and I always do home jobs barefoot too. Watch the toes, had a 5speed R150f come of my work bench during complete rebuild and almost nail my toots. Would of been the three toed bandit.
Yeah that's why I work on the ground
My dad had over 336,647 miles on his truck before the transfer case fell out from under it
I went from using castrol oil in my patrol to using Penrite exclusively I fully recommend it for everyone
Yeah same hey, such a wonderful oil I can't use anything else now
Thanks helped a lot.
Excellent vid !!!
I feel bad for the people that lost their things. But great video!
Yeah it's quite devastating but thank you!
Same thing happened to my diff a year ago the nut backs off and I had a puddle of fluid on the floor drove it really slow home and had fun changing seal
Yeah bit of a bummer hey
Another great video. Look forward to the next one. Hopefully a bit of 4wding too :)
Will definitely try to cheers!
Great video again,same job needs done on the landy and that seem about the same method,one complaint though no visible beer in this video😄
Yeah should be very similar. And yes I know I need to step up my game!
Good on ya girl!! Great to see u fixing things up uself
Thank you:)
Ur most welcome . Keep up the good work
great vid, great idea with the shirts, keep them coming. :)
Thank you!
No feminist attitude I can see. Just a happy, easy going gal who can mix it with the men (and better than a lot of them). Just keeping things real, not afraid of hard, dirty work and enjoying what you love. I subscribed.
Thank you very much:)
great film. thank you
Cheers!
Great work 👍
Thanks enjoyed your video 😊👍
Great work Danie...
Thank you!
Hey!
I was wondering what you torqued the pinion nut back too when everything was finished thank you :)
as mentioned in the video this is not a tutorial video and was a quick fix to get home. The rear hubs need to be dissasmbled, axles out, diff centre out, stripped and reassembled on a bench with a new spacer and setting the correct pinion depth, preload and backlash with the correct shims before reinstalling into the vehicle. Failure to correctly reset your diff will result in it failing under load
Great video... Inspiring to say the least!!
Thank you!!
and by the way , i like the initiative from trademutt . buy those shirts !!!!!!
So amazing hey! I need more so I can have a work one and a good one haha
I came across your vid just now and thought I’d just skip
Watched it and was amazed
Women like you are bloody rare !!
Most blokes say they want one but can’t handle the fact that she has a brain , her own opinions and can do things for herself!!
I’ll excuse the fact you own a Toyota !!!
You can’t get everything right 😂
I’m not gonna post some sleazy comment on here ,
Just letting you know you have gained another subscriber and that you are appreciated!!
Lookin forward to more vids !!
Keep up the good work 👍🍻
Thank you so much! So wonderful to read comments like this! Thank you
Thank you so much! So wonderful to read comments like this! Thank you
Haha I put about 6 bricks under my cruiser on the chassis rail and sent it and put a lift kit in
Nice!
Good job!
Cheers!
I’m form Townsville as well, will be using this to replace my pinion seal aswell. Thanks
My knuckles hurt just watching you break some of those bolts, ha ha.
No knuckles were harmed in the making of this video
@@DanieSimpson That's because your skill level exceeds mine by a LOT.
Good job that’s going to help me out.
This isnt a tutorial. Lots of key steps left out and to finish the axles come out, diff out, spacer replaced and bearing backlash and preloaded reset. Not doing this step will eventually lead to diff failure
Worth the wait. Made it look easy 😀
Cheers!
