I love the information. As an aircraft mechanic, I'm surprised that the components weren't put through a parts washer or cleaned more than a wipedown. I know that sounds overkill, but it's probably the only time in the lifetime of these vehicles that you will ever get to inspect these parts.
The tech in this video is a previous aerospace tech as well. We do not suggest putting teflon parts, bearings, shaft and seals in a parts washer as it causes premature wear and tear. It can also introduce moisture/corrosion into the system. We have found that on a steering box rebuild, that a thorough wipe down with brake/parts cleaner does a better job and is less abrasive. We use the parts washer for all cases and housings (this steering box case included). We also suggest upgrading the steering box to an 80 series and changing the sector shaft to a 105. That will give you a tighter steering radius with better drivability.
Wish you had shown how you got the two Teflon rings in there. I had trouble with mine, they were just a tad too large/loose making it difficult to get in. Got any advice?
There are multiple ways to center the pitman arm. You can connect the steering wheel and count the turns to get it centered then attached the pitman arm accordingly. Always set the arm straight when you find center.
Great Video. I just completed the rebilled of my steering box and its installed back on the Cruiser. No more leaks but I now have less steer to the right versus the left. Before tackling this project the FJ60 drove straight and still does but now the steering wheel is a little off center to the right. Any quick tips to correct the issue before I start adjusting stuff?
It seems like you tightened the adjuster bolt on top too much. Make sure the box isn't adjusted too tight, otherwise the gears will wear faster and it puts more pressure on the steering pump. In regards to steering, make sure the steering box arm is facing the right direction when connecting. Feel free to call the shop if you have any more questions.
Reach out through our website and our parts manager can help. Look at converting an 80 series steering box sector shaft with the 105 shaft. Just bolt the 80 series box up on build dates after June of 1985.
This is mainly to stop leaks and replace bearings. You can tighten the steering box while you rebuild it but I would suggest an 80 series steering box upgrade if you want to tighten up the play. Pre 85 trucks will be more of a custom job. All other years are plug and play.
Dude, you miraculously just slide the bearing shaft down into the housing, no explanation or anything on how difficult it is. One moment it's out and another moment it's in. And that music absolutely sucks. Completely hideous. I'm missed you didn't even touch on that shaft going into the housing.
Otherwise pretty good video except no explanation whatsoever on the ease or major pain in the ass difficulty level on putting the wormgear shaft into its housing.

Knuckle rebuild
@@davidcousineau6605 we'll get on it soon as we have a cruiser in the shop needing one!
tie rod and relay change and adjustment, best regards!

@@yananRamirez We will work on it! Good call
Awesome video! Thank you for posting this. I'm in the process of rebuilding the gear box and this was what i needed. Much Appreciated!
thats awesome glad our videos could be of service to you !
super helpful, well done, clear and concise. i have to do this exact job to my cruiser. Thank you so much.
No thread sealant is needed on the JIC flare fitting. The seal occurs on the brass flare seat in the bottom of the hole.
Very thank for video information 👍🏻💐

Great vid mate, well explained. Just found your channel.
Great video! This is on my list to do...after seeing this maybe I should have it done for me?
appreciate the support ! its a tedious task but well worth the satisfaction when its all said and done.
Is it the same with a IFS first gen 4runner?
Why cant i get all the ball bearings back in?
Tnx
Its a process. Feel free to call the shop and one of our techs will walk you through it.
good job! If it s the same at a 61 ?
Assuming an HJ61? We don't get too many of those in the states but it should be the same.
@@CorsettiCruisers yes, nearly the same!
Any special procedure to center the sector shaft or aligning the pitman arm? Or is there only one way the pitman arm goes on? Thanks!
There are multiple ways to center the pitman arm. You can connect the steering wheel and count the turns to get it centered then attached the pitman arm accordingly. Always set the arm straight when you find center.
I’m confused here. Don’t you just need to align the marking line on the shaft with the marking line on the pitman arm?
@@aarons4981 if you made a mark before taking it off hahaha
Do you have to redo alignment after pulling?
Yes an alignment is necessary. Suggestion would be to use a 105 series sector shaft for the rebuild. They still make the parts from Toyota

@@CorsettiCruisers Thanks for the quick response. I will give that a shot and let you know if that corrects the issue.
Any idea how much different of a process would an FJ80 steering box would be from this one?
Process is almost the same. Make sure to check the condition of the steering balls
is it the same process as a 1998 105 land cruiser
Slightly different boxes.
Hi there, can u tell me where would i be able to get the thrust ball bearings for this been trying all over🙂

This rebuild will help to reduce some play input in the steering ?

@@CorsettiCruisers thank you !
awesome and detailed video, steering balls needs to be changed?
Make sure to check the condition of them before reassembling. It's hard to find the right replacement ball size.
Great video!
More how to videos!

Pissed not missed
The annoying background shop noise and the stupid music you chose is just unreal
