You used to be able to buy 70 series tie rods with ends attached from Toyota for $45+GST. You may be better off upgrading to these & adapting what you have to fit these? The relay rod was $45+GST as well. This would give you beefier rod & ends. Search the forum for the part numbers, there here ...

Anyone able to identify this tie rod. Fairly sure its Toyota as the vehicle has 40 series running gear. BNT nearly got it right, but the bit I need in 14mm was 12mm. They soon gave up after that since they weren't dealing with the "original vehicle" http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k248/lilpigzuk ...

parker hales were built using 98 mauser actions, nothing wrong with them.

mines got 3F4 on the vin plate.

might want to check that the diff breather isn't blocked and causing the housing to pressurise.

I'll take them to work, they've been on the garage floor for a while so look a bit crappy, but they're free to a good home.

in the downers building!

live in porirua, work in wingate.

i've got a sbc pressure plate and 10 spline clutch plate if you want.

i've got a super cheap engine hoist you can borrow but you'll need to pick it up from porirua.[/quote]

That sounds GREAT and the best thing i'm only in Paremata!!!! [/quote]

i've sent a pm with address and phone number, if you don't get it ring or text on 027-2306460

i have a chain block im not using. but no use if you dont have anything to hang it from. thought you wern't competing as your helping? does this mean your looking for a team? i know of a team that has one rover in it and another rover lover Cheers for the offer.. but its the hoist i need. unless ...

Thanks Was thinking of soaking them in something to free things up a bit, then have a go at them over the w/end. Is there a tool around that fits into the piston, then spreads out to clamp onto the inside so you can get some leverage to get them out as the pistons are fairly much all the way in ...

[quote="cooksworld"]Okay... I was cleaning up all the components and I was hoping I could get away with re-kitting the calipers but the pistons are seized and I can't get them out... so Anyone out there (pref in Wellington region) have a spare set of calipers for a solid disc braked hilux or similar ...

might be better asking here.

broke an engine mount if anyone has a spare ??????


i think Ski was wrecking a diesel 70.

So, for those in the know... if I just buy new discs how do you get the studs out without damaging them. When I had the hub apart the other day I undid the two retaining bolts and tried hammering out one of the studs but I could tell it was just going to damage the stud. Do you: - heat things up ...

will work if the rear diff is full floater.
if semi floating it wont work.

bowler motors in porirua machine disks and is into 4wds.

it sounds like you have the older style transfer case which means you'll have to sort out the handbrake unless the hf55 has a transmission brake on the end of it. (some split transfercases had a transmission brake)

ome make bushes to fit the small pins with the larger spring eyes.

sell it and buy a safari or cruiser

cheers for the reply

i was talking to a guy at work the other day and he reckons it's illegal to modify rims, eg:for widening etc, anybody know if that's correct?

i've got a viscous thingy in the garage somewhere, you can have it if i find it but no fan

Speed shop, do you mean Road and Track? I'll give them a go, point of interest though - the owner is soon to be ex-owner. They change hands on August 1st. I'm pretty keen on a K&N but would be good to find the best price since they are normalling pretty pricey. Have used K&N's before and have been ...

the speed shop in high st lower hutt can get unifilters in.
forget the name of the shop but near melling road.
