Re: kzj 78 PTO drive

Hey kbush was hoping you'd pop up, how long did it take you to fit the gear? And I assume its just drain xfer case, remove rear half of case, remove snap ring/circlip, remove bearing (do you need a puller?), cut spacer down by x amount and then reassemble?
Thanks for all the help guys

Re: kzj 78 PTO drive

Awesome Derk cheers, I take it the spacer goes between the gear and the case on the shaft to stop the shaft/gear moving sideways?

Re: kzj 78 PTO drive

Cool ta, so I take it none of them came from the factory with the drive in there? How long does it take to throw one in? I assume its a transfer case off the gearbox and onto the workbench sort of a job?

kzj 78 PTO drive

Hi all,

This may be a dumb arse question but do the 78 Prado's come with a drive gear in the transfer case? I've bought a 70 series PTO winch and was wondering if there is one in there or if I'll have to retrofit something.

Cheers

Done it once before and remember it being an arse of a job, hard to get motivated to do it haha but I suppose it will be cheaper. Anyone know where to get an ezy-out to remove the bastard stud that's broken?
