ln106 swivel hub rebuild

Post by u13turbo »

Hey guys. I'm doing a swivel hub rebuild on a hilux aswel as new CVS. All going well until I got the axles in and attempted to put the stub axle on. It bolts up but is very tight. I then try turning the swivel hub and its also very tight. I can't turn the axle by hand but I can at the driveshaft. It all seems abit tight, or am I just being to cautious? Any ideas would be appreciated

Cheers

Had the same issue with mine, pulled it apart and re assembled everything and it went fine after that. Never found out what I did wrong though.

Okay so I've found out that lsd and open duff's have different length axles. While being apart the truck has had an lsd fitted to the front. Apparently you've gotta to take a few Umm of each of the axles? Just want to make sure before ruining these perfectly good axles.

You can sometimes get away with it, but 3mm off the ends is what is usually required to make it all fit.
