kzj78 front wheel bearings

[jonossiksilvia]

so i went to bnt to get some wheel bearing kits for the front and they said there is 2 different sizes listed for the kzj78 prado?

Anyone struck this before? i dont wanna get the wrong kit for my 4wd

Any ideas?

Looking at toyodiy.com there are two listed for inner and outer.
Looks like it depends on the year.
When I did mine many years ago I didn't realize and just got a Terrain tamer kit. Must have got lucky.
You could google the part numbers and see what you get.

yeah i done that and they seem to be the same sizes from searching but then bnt told me there is different sizes. just wondering if bnt a doing the inners as a set and outers as other? should i just get the terrain tamer set as i already have the terrain tamer knuckle rebuild set?

according to the terrain tamer site there is only 1 kit for the kzj78 front "wbk2".

I know you can get bearings with more rollers in them... Same race outer dimension and also stub axle hole size... Just a few more rollers and on a different angle..

agree with jerry,I've done this a few times,as long as you don't damage packaging etc they've never had a problem

Cheers guys

so have you 2 got them from bnt? cos if so perhaps its only bnt that has 2 part numbers?

When i got a price for terrain tamer ones no one mentioned anything about different sizes

BNT Kit 1253
Bearing numbers
JLM104945 Larger
LM102949 Smaller

You will need
a smaller socket ie 1/4 to get off the hub
a small torx bit to get off the locking ring thingy
C Clip pliers

BNT sell the bearing press thingys as well and a C Clip pliers A 54mm socket helps (BNT don't sell these) ... not sure where the best place to get them is yet.

Get the kingpin bearings from Toyota

cheers jerry. got all the tools i need including the 54mm socket, fish scale etc. just need to buy me a press sick of going to mates all the time to use theirs.

Whats this bearing press thingy you talking about? an adapter for pushing in the bearings im guessing
