this 40 we got needs spacers on the front wheels to clear the discs on the right side the studs are now short coming through the wheel nuts , is there long studs to buy , to fix this or more drastic changes to be done

yup long studs are available from either toyota or a decent 4wd place. i think they are hilux studs

You can ask for the 60 serise front studs from Toyota - they are longer.

Thank's guy's.

visted toyota parts in manukau don't stock wheel studs to much trouble to get in hilux of 80' one in for us to see , god how do you guys work with these type of guys

I take it nothing rubbed before and now that you have put a new hub and calliper on the drivers side it now rubs?

Is the rim rubbing on the calliper or is it something else thats rubbing?

na came with the 10mm spacer , hits the calipar without it, but nuts donnot have enough thread through to be safe ,

Sounds like the new hubs 10mm narrower than the old one? Maybe you need to talk to NMC about all the spare bits hes got and swap the hub over for one that matches the left hand one? Having to put a spacer on only one wheel sounds a bit dodgey?

sorry both wheels have spacers

Mine fits OK with 6mm spacers, although there isn't much of the studs through the wheel nuts. You need 7.5 turns on the nuts according to the rules:

page 15/16

Or you could go to the bigger spacers that bolt to the hub, and have their own studs to bolt the wheels on. You'd get the advantage of a more stable vehicle, but with the downside of more load on the wheel bearings...

we'll run with what we got soon as i find longer studs. was told the holden dealer sells long ones

I've found the Toyota guys up here really helpful, different branch I guess. If they dont have something in stock there are always happy to get them in for you too.

Welcome to come get that diff of mine whenever too. Shes been outside for a while now but I've seen worse cond ones for much more on Trademe. Speaking of that this may interest you, FJ40 front diff with Disc's just need one of the guys on here to bring it up for you:

Guys at North Shore Toyota have ordered 12 60 series (front) studs for me. I called today and they will be there tomorrow morning at 8:30am, cost $86

hope so but it hard to get him moving on it, the wof runs out in feb will start rebuilt properly then, so we can take it for a run up thompsons before then
also as this truck has endless air finding a place for the power pump could be interesting?
