Iv got a set of hilux diffs/axels from the wreckers that im totaly rebuilding for my zook (comon dont hold it against me). im in the process of TRYing to pull off the steering arms from both hub assy. (i dont know the names for everything so if you can give me names that would be top's)
Now im trying to pull steering arm "A" up and off of hub assy "B" now that iv removed all the nuts. i used a soft faced hammer the other night with a "moderate" amount of force on the steering arm to no avail. was even contemplating using item "C" and a lighter in the end.
once i had a closer look there seemed to be some clips at the start of each studs threads:
Now are these holding it on? are they like a sirclip? cause i had a bit of a go at one with a screwdriver and it wouldnt budge. or is it a sleeve thet runs down through the steering arm?? or do i just need to apply more then a moderate amount of force (been sitting in there yard for a while i think, rusted up)
and on a side note is there any markings on the diff's that denote what yr model they came from as the wreckers didnt have the origional vehicle, only his memmory to say they "might " be from an 86-87 model hilux.
and on a side side note does any one know what torque the nuts for those studs should be done back up to (aprox)? cause they were FARKIN tight geting off.
much appreciated for any info. -cheers
