HOW TO: MITSUBISHI PAJERO MONTERO 4X4 MANUAL LOCKING AISIN HUBS INSTALL WHEEL BEARINGS SHOGUN DELICA

- VERY LONG-WINDED HOW-TO video showing installation of manual locking wheel hubs and wheel bearing service on 4M40 Pajero Field Master. Feel free to skip to the steps that help you most! REASONS TO DO THIS: 1. Any front lift, adds angle to the front CV axles, increasing wear. 2. MAY reduce fuel consumption slightly not turning the axles needlessly on road driving. If your 4x4 vacuum system is malfunctioning, this can be a good backup or supplemental option. Each side takes about 1 hour. HOPE THIS VIDEO ASSISTS YOU...PLEASE LIKE, SUBSCRIBE AND SHARE!
MUCH FEEDBACK suggests that the best quality for price is AISIN brand.

that body is so soft that it is prone to loose thread, installed same few years back. switched to AISIN brand and no regret.
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah...ironically, those where the cheapest cost-wise at $20 each. So, the 10mm bolts holding the locker end cap on the main body may strip out, due to the main body material being too soft? Cheers!
Use loctite or similar thread locker on all bolts 👍
I love your videos, I just bought a 1992 pajero and im learning as I go
THANK SO MUCH! I'd enjoy seeing a photo of your Pajero!
I'm just about to do the same job on my rig. Thank you for the great explanations, bro!
Thanks VERY much for that BRO! By the way, my FB account is now suspended. I requested a review, but I am SURE they will not reopen my account. Just wanted you to know I did NOT block you.
@@offgridislandfamily no problem bro. :)
I like your Porsche small car there. 🥰❤️
My 93 import from Japan actually has USA Timken bearings. Inner and outer bearings were the same model LM102949 still USA made. $12 on Amazon. The right side had two Phillips screws but the left side had one Phillips and one 10mm bolt but looked like it had newer grease. I recommend gasket maker on the hub and dust cap to keep water out.
Hmm...very good point on the gasket sealer to keep water out! Yes. My bearings are perfect, so no need to change, but I will save the information! Cheers!
Dont waste your money on the solenoid and vacumm actuator. Ive replaced both and still have the front axle engaging almost always. Manual hubs are the way to go... also, would solve the blinking 4x4 lights 🍻
Thanks very much for your input. The lights still flashed occasionally, until I replace the wire connector plugs for the two solenoids. You sound like the right guy for the following question. When I use 4x4, I'm usually on pretty serious terrain. So...welding the front diff. I've read some say that it 'drives like a bear' offroad. My logic would say that when 4WD is needed, the terrain is loose enough for this not to be the case. WHEN I engage 4WD, it's when it's really needed, which would also be the time when I wouldn't want wheel slippage. Your thoughts / experience? Cheers!
@@offgridislandfamily i dont think it would be a problem to weld it since you already have manual hubs. The only time of concern would be when you're in 4H and carrying some speed. If you're 4wd-ing at low speeds in loose terrains, there wouldnt be much downsides to it.
@@TheBlackz05 Exactly. The commenter said that OFF-ROAD it's 'a bear to steer' with welded diff. I can't imagine needing 4WD and yet being on terrain solid enough to generate enough traction for this situation to occur.
@@offgridislandfamily now that you mentioned it... im thinking of doing it to my l200 truck as well... great cost effective idea.
@@TheBlackz05 RIght? I just can't imagine when I would need effective 4WD and be concerned with 'hard steering'. LOL!
❤️
Just checking in to see if these wheel lockers are still working after you made this video 2 years ago. I'm looking to do the same change on my Montero.
They are and after the typhoon Rai of December 16th 2021, I would NEVER have gotten to our ex-house in Bien Unido without lots of 4x4 action: ua-cam.com/video/MijwDM3QAQ8/v-deo.html We had to drive over every kind of debris, including several...and I do mean several fallen coconut trees. Still working fine. Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Where can i get these and is there a better brand to get?
Is this model FHM-002 or FHM-003? I get conflicting information on which is the right model for a Mk2?
Shoot...SO long ago. If memory serves, it was 18 tooth spline? The difference is the number of splines and most ads include this detail.
I am SOO FREAKING STOKED I found your channel. I'm here in Iloilo and am buying a '97 Pajero and your videos are HUGELY helpful. I also did not want to rely on the vacuum-relay system for 4WD mode changes so this helps BIG TIME!!! thank you so much for these vids!!!
EXACTLY! PLUS...you save wear on your CV joints, axles and differential and slightly reduce fuel consumption. Thank SO MUCH for the feedback!
Getting v45 2.8 diesel soon... What are these for.... Frm Malaysia...
Welcome! The are the front hub locks for the front 4x4 axle system. They eliminate the need for the vacuum system.
@@offgridislandfamily so it's only for front wheels. The Rear wheels won't need them?
hello sir. i am a follower of your channel. very helpful for pajero owners. anyway im planning to convert my pajero locking hub to manual.
where did you buy the manual locki g hubs? hows the quality of the locking hubs that you got so far? thank you for your response sir.
from davao city :-)
My Auntie and Godmother is from Davao. Thanks for following and the message! I bought mine on Lazada, but got a lot of feedback after. I am told that you should only buy genuine AISIN hubs. I'm told the cheap ones like I bought break easily, although I have used mine many times. Especially after typhoon Odette when I had to literally drive over coconut trees and LOTS of other obstacles just to get to my ex-house (totally destroyed).
have u taken it difficult terrain while locking those hubs?
No hardcore rock crawling or really hard stuff maybe...lots of river crossing and dry river beds with large stones. Lots of mud. I'm just wanted to build a vehicle that would get my family through most any terrain, while still being effective and safe in daily driving.
Where did you bought the hub and its fit for first gen pajero auto matic tranny 1990 model
You have to check the number of axle splines? I don't remember for sure, but I think mine had 88 or 92 splines? Anyway, after buying these, I was told to buy Aisin brand only. Mine have been fine, but not tested on REAL hardcore off road. Bought them online...Shopee, Lazada, etc.
How its hold on?
I had one of those alloy knockoffs and the bolts keep getting lose all the time, and the body bolts holes are getting twisted and wider...
Yeah. I've heard that lots of these NON-Aisin, alternative brand versions have very weak material quality. I think it's very 'hit or miss'. I don't do 'hard core' offroading, but live in the Philippines with MANY long, mud roads, ditches, rocky areas, etc. They get used, but not flogged and so far, so good.
update us when it breaks! hahahahaha
That's why I keep an original hub cap in the car. ;-)
I may buy one of the AINSS hubs to install when one of these breaks.
@@offgridislandfamily, When they break, replace them with genuine Aisin Hubs. They'll last forever.
@@garymarj6065 Yeah. Heard this a few times. So...instead of carrying around an original end cap, I'll buy an Aisin, then replace the current ones as they break. Question...there are many 'Aisin' on Lazada, but would there be fakes?
@@offgridislandfamily, Look for genuine 'Aisin'. There are some half-decent other brands around but, not as good. Avoid the Chinese stuff.
Have you tried using the hubs locked on off road?
A few times. But, I'm not a hardcore rock-crawler or mud bogger. Just stream crossings, up steep inclines, deep ruts, etc. My goal is overland stuff.
Any update on this manual hub lock?
Not really. After the typhoon, had to push and climb over several fallen coconut trees and go through many mud trenches. Still hanging in there.
I’m not sure about the brand you have used but they look identical to the ones I just binned, they were absolute crap and I sourced aisin hubs which come standard on a lot of factory 4x4’s and have much better build quality! I know they can be expensive but it’s the difference of actually getting home or blowing a hub and being stuck with no 4x4.. this is not a mod you want to do cheaply!
You're absolutely right and many similar comments have been posted and acknowledged as correct. Thanks for the feedback.
@@offgridislandfamily I still have a cheap one as a back up, after watching more of your videos I appreciate you don’t always have an abundance of parts around, you’ve done some fantastic fixes! Worth a mention though, no one likes to be stranded!
@@Keebz793 Thanks VERY much for the appreciation. ;-) I keep an original hub end / cap in the rig to bolt back on if necessary.
it is 28 Teeth?
Yes they are...I counted them myself. ;-)
@@offgridislandfamily my father have a Mitsubishi pajero 4m40 gen 2 2004 the problem is there is a noise in front axle. I dunno if the front axle is the noise, i try to double the snap ring but it did not work, if i put manual hub maybe it will stop the noise. the noise will appear when off road or it hits a bump.
@@kennethseprado2450 Hmm. I would recommend the manual hubs. Reduces wear on your front CV / axles and slightly reduces fuel consumption. Plus, this way, you always can be sure when they are engaged or not engaged. I recommend the AINSS brand. Let me know if you still have the noise with axles unlocked.
@@offgridislandfamily okay i will
thank you so much for the recommendation :))
@@kennethseprado2450 Keep me informed of what you change and how it affects the vehicle.
Can't be much of a mechanic, any skilled mechanic would have taken the wheel off.
Ooohhh...there's one neatly placed. What a zinger! Hahaha!
so, after doing this, can you completely ignore/disconnect the vacuum/relay system on the right side fender area of the engine compartment?? ...then you just use the 2H - 4H / 4HLc / 4LLc lever inside and twist these hubs outside manually accordingly and the 4WD system works perfectly? ... and you would then ignore the green lights on the dash, yes? -- again, this video is AWESOME!!! I'm buying those hubs NOW! :-) (i thought you said they cost ~$20... they are more like $150, eh?)
COMPLETELY correct! The vacuum system is only for locking the front axles. Here in the Philippines, I paid 1,500 pesos, or about $30 each. Yes...I prefer old school mechanicals than vacuum or electrical systems. Thanks for posting!
