- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- In this video I fully rebuild/reseal a steering box from a HZJ75 (70 series) Landcruiser. This prosess should be the same for just about all of the 70 series models and 80 series although the box shape may vary slightly.

Thanks Glenno, top notch vid mate. I couldn't have refurbed it without you help 😊
Legend! Thanks for the video the tips on how to get the power piston ball bearings back in (the Grease on the tube) life saver took me two minutes after I had been trying for the past 2 afternoons
appreciate the break down on the 0 ring size differences... good stuff.
Very nice work! Love all the detail.
Excellent video! Very easy to watch and follow 👌
Great video thanks, getting ready to do my kzj78 tomorrow.
That was a beautiful job mate! Well done
Thanks for your time bro👌
Thanks a lot, excellent tutorial!
Super clear explanation. Thanks
Thank you!
Great job
Hello, a question
I removed my pit man arm and forgot to marked it.,
And suggestions as to what to do ?
@josephwoulfe2233 set the gearing of the box back to the centre. Then don't fit the pitman arm back on until you mount the box back on the vehicle and ensure box is still in the centre and the wheels are straight.
nice. thanks
So, what was the original problem with the steering box in the first place? You didn't say. Also, basically, it looks like what you did was replace the "O" rings and teflon seals, etc. Would that be correct impression? Would indicate that box with hardened or not pliable "O" rings and/or teflon seals will not operate smoothly or at all?
@GereDJ2 The box was leaking. With age, it is common for the seal on the pitman arm end to cause a leak. On an old box, it's not a silly idea to replace the o rings and seals etc at the same time.
A great video. I really enjoyed it! Do you know if a 98 105 series is the same? ( I expect that it would be. )
@garydavo07 Thanks, I'm not sure, mate. But it should be very similar if it's not the same.
12:33 You kinda glossed over it doesn't the main shaft seal go with the open side with the garter spring facing to the outside? I know this is backwards to normal but I guess its better at keeping water out and the inner Teflon/oring seal keeps the oil in.
My steering gearbox is as big as what you've repaired. It's marked with Toyoda.
My question is, are the repair kits for Toyota installed in Landcruiser and other vehicles like AUV but Toyota L are standard or each gearbox has a unique repair kit?
I think there would be different repair kits for the different steering boxes.
Nice job ,but you don’t have to remove the ball bearings from the power piston You can remove the input shaft and renew the seal with the ball bearings in place saving you tons of time and heaps of frustration
Yes your right. The sector shaft seal is the main one that leaks. However you can't do a full reseal that way. The bearings were easy to get back in with the technique I used at the end. 👍🏽
IfThat seal only comes out from inside, how do you replace it without pulling the shaft out?
Your technique is ok but I use my own technique when removing the front seal..I use my special tool
Hey mate awesome video.
Can you explain a bit more about how this locking nut and thread works?
I’ve got some play in my steering box, hoping I can eliminate it.
Cheers
Nice bro
Seal kit opened at 6:48
Hi there, I have a problem I need help with. The piece you unscrew at 14:15 and then replace the o ring at 15:30. That piece, has a white Teflon ring and an o ring on the inside of it. Is there a reason you don't replace it? I understand that the kit may not have come with seals or it may not need to be replaced but In my situation, it has a split in it and needs to be replaced, Do you know of a kit that has those little seals included. as I'm at a loss on howto fix it. cheers
Was this rebuild because there was play in the box or just leaking? Didn’t see any bearing replacement.
Because it was leaking. The bearings were OK. Play can be adjusted to a certain extent by the lock nut and thread on the top on the box.
@@glennosgaragei had steering play issues and tried to rebuild it multiple time and adjust the pin lock and nothing happened, is there any way to fabricate a new inner shaft because I believe the come from old gears . I heard about company called red head in USA they build your steering box much better than factory made , but the problem is you must ship yours steering box to them.
@outdooreng4973 I'm not sure about that. Never heard of that company. It could be a good option. My vehicle has front leaf springs, so I'm not expecting perfect steering. I will always have some movement in my leaf springs.
Mate i got a old ln106 hilux and got a kit to rebuild mine steering box but it didnt come with the seals for the worm adjuster the part is at 14.41 minutes on your vid but mine has the oring on the outside as well as a oring and teflon seal inside it . Were did you buy your kit from thanks
@@teranceable repco sels this kit here in Australia. Or drivetech. I'm not sure about overseas.
Have a land cruiser 1988 not seeing any fluid tank to put in fluid. Steering VERY HARD to turn. ... why?
How many ball bearings should there be?
I'm not sure. I did count them at the time, but I didn't keep a record, so I can't remember. Sorry, mate.
I think I may have lost one
@@Tinman6444 ball bearings, if you need one go to a local bearing shop you should be able to find the correct one.
45 balls
Thanks
Is the vdj79 v8 2008 old dash same?
I'm not sure. If the box looks the same shape, then the procedure should be very much the same.
@@glennosgarage does this fix slack in the box? How you you test for slack? I'm getting slightly wheel wobbles at 80 ish km a hour. Looked at everything else and new tyres on. ty
@IvicaBitless no this won't fix slack. But you can adjust slack to a certain extent, with a large flat head screwdriver on the thread and the nut on the top of the box. Wobbles can be hard to diagnose. Could be an unbalanced rime or a bent rim.
@@IvicaBitless mine had the same issue, turned out it just needed a good wheel alignment. I say good wheel alignment cause of the trouble i had after getting 2 bad ones, spent big dollars on everything under the front end, tyres, rims, wheel bearings, cv's, kingpins, new tie rod and ends, adjusted steering box play ect, still wobbled at 80km/ph , but not after the good alignment.
That last seal on the adjuster screw/locknut wasn’t very clear as to where it goes and how.
Yeah sorry. I must have forgotten to hit record. It just slides over the threads. You can see if on just before I fit the nut.
Вот все тоже самое делаю,руль тугой…🤔
Ok
