While changing the diff oil today on both diffs I spied oil on the back wheel rim. Right side side shaft seal this time. Good thing I remembered this old post, stripped and ready now. Just need to get a new seal on Monday. Anybody got a part number on hand?

Sifu-Lux

Good to know, thanks Julian

Sifu-Lux

Hmmm, news is its still running after 4years with no problems. Great not having to adjust points again. Motor runs smoother than with points, but otherwise no real difference.

I get around 4 to 4.5 km/l running on 33" tyres. I wish I could get better consumption too...

Sifu-Lux

Nice, enjoy it!

Sifu-Lux

Not sure what you mean about solenoid valves on the carb, mine does not have?

Sifu-Lux

Awesome, really nice job! Once it's back to standard, you can start upgrading it ;)

Got all my engine parts for my rebuild from Alert Engine spares and Autozone.

Got my carb kit and other Weber parts from Carburettor City in JHB. I think basic overhaul hit was about R 400

Thanks all for the input. Busy costing all the wheel bearing, seals, retaining rings etc at Toyota. Will see how it goes. So far running fine.

So, this weekend I ended up dumping the Lux in the river after slipping off the bank on the clay while riding parallel to it. Luckily I managed to point the nose inland first... There was no way to recover it with the other Hilux single cab we had with us because of the 30m or so uneven river bank, ...

Here is a link to when I did it with all the details and pics you need. Really not difficult, just takes some time.

I did an axle overhaul and 35mm move at the same time. Good Luck!

Geyser spanner from any Hardware shop, about R 40.00, much cheaper than a socket!

From what I can remember the diesel Hilux's were 4.52:1. I'm running the standard 4.88:1 diff's for the petrol model with 33"s. Fuel consumption overall is 5 km/liter, less doing a bit of harder offroad fun... I don't drive it everyday, so i can live with that. Downside is 220km max on a tank o...

You need to skim a groove in the FLYWHEEL. I remember now, to clear the rivets on the clutch plate.

Trevor, I'm sending you 7 mails.

The power sterring pump will fit. It is mounted to the engine where the mechanical fuel pump mounts. (you need electric pump if you go this way).

Custom steel bracket with adjustment arm.

I have lots of pics (read hundreds) of my conversion. Just let me know what you'r e looking for.

You can get one from http://www.giloeng.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Mine is stamped GILO408, but I don't see that on their listing anymore.

What is wrong with the hubs? Can you not rebuild them? I can't think of much that can go wrong.

It cost me 17k to convert to the V6 4 years ago. That included reconditioning a free motor I got, and doing the install myself at home.

I had a similar issue. Your detent spring may be weak from old age. Remove the high/low range shift rod detent plug from the 4WD transfer case section of the gearbox (passenger side). You'll see it has an allen key hex head plug. Magnatise a screw driver and use that to draw the detent spring out of...

I am running the Midas discs. No problem now that they are bedded in. See my front axle rebuild thread for more info.

Sifu-Lux

I take it these are 16" ?

Then you can use either radial General SAG 7.50 R 16, or the slightly more agressive looking SAG 7.50 16 crossply. Depends on your application, but both have high puncture resistance. With a split rim you will need a tube though.

Sifu-Lux

Never adjusted mine, works 98% :)

Wl need to do new brake shoes soon though.

Sifu-Lux

If you are compensating for the ride height sag with air springs then you are correct, your rear braking will not increase with load. I improved mine a bit by extending the linkage on the axle to compensate for the increased ride height of the OME springs. http://www.hilux4x4.co.za/views/viewtopic.p...
