60 Series Front Diff Removal

Post by Guy From Nowhere »

G'day all,

I am installing an ARB Air Locker into the front of my 60 series this Sunday. The locker is already in the diff centre, so just needs to be slotted in. I understand it is just a matter of getting the whole swivel/CV off and removing the front axels carefully so as not to root the seals. Only problem is, I have not done this before. Was wondering if some one had the exploded diagram for diff removal/installation in a 60 series?

Cheers
SANGA

P.S. before you all go saying press search, I have done this and not come up with anything overly usefull, also have read the bible; I am after something like the rebuild 60 series hub thread if anyone else has read it (only for diffs obviously :D )

jack up and remove the wheels

remove the outer plate on the free wheeling hubs

take circlip off and slide the spring and locking mechanism out

remove the body of the free wheeling hub

undo the outer bearing ut

take the lock washer plate out, these can be flattened and resued, but they are a couple of dollars ech and can be bought from any good bearing or 4b shop

remove the inner wheel bearing nut

remove the caliper by the 2 17mm head bolts on the rear of the knuckle, you may nned to remove the brake line if it is still locked on the backing plate

slide the rotor and outer hub assy over the stub axle, carefull not to brop the bearings ect into the dirt :lol:

undo the bolts that hold the stub axle and take the backing plate and stub axle off, leave 2 bolts in as it locates the assy for re assebling

the CV is now expose, you need to pull it out, you may have to spin it to get the flat in the right spot, when you slide the CV out is allows the centre to be removed (both sides need to be done obviously)

The centre needs the bolts undone and the drive shaft removed then it slides out, there is two cut outs in the pumpkin which allows the crown wheel to fit out, its heavy so you may need two people, under the car or one out to pass it to

while all this is out you could run a swivel hub kit through it, its pretty self explanitory when you pull it apart, but it comes with new kin pin bearing and knuckle wiper seal as wel, you need to undo the holts retaining the king pin and slide the swivel hub iff to replace the wiper seal and replace the bearing while your in the process

hope that helps

I was told it was not neccesary to take the hub apart, though your method says you do. Can someone clarify which is the case?

P.S. does anyone feel like lending a hand in the Newy/Morrisett region :P :oops:

you can remove the king pics and slide the swivel hub off, but I reckon you should do all the seals etc while you are in there

The hub definately needs to come off to get the cv and axle out, its the swivel housing that doesnt need to be removed unless you plan on re-kitting it (and I agree with Tiny, its the perfect time to do it if it's due).

yes and no, you need to get the inner axle out, to do this you need to get the hub out of the way, either by removing the hub, or remove the swivel housing with hub attached.

The guys on here that do trail maintenance pretty much all say removing the swivel housing is the gun, heaps quicker and easier.

I do these about once a week and alway the same (quickest) way.

1. Take the F/W hub cap off to remove the circlip on the CV.

2. Take off the 8, 10mm bolts that hold the seal on the back of the swival hub.

3. Undo flexible brake line

4. Take the steering arm off the top of the hub. You can leave the tie-rod on and the bottom pin in place.

5. By slightly pushing the top bearing down, the complete hub with brakes intact will rotate down off the housing and CV.

Done in less than 10 minutes per side. You can still change the rear seals if needed.

Ok yeah I can definately see what you two are saying and I've never thought of doing it this way, I guess because I've never had to (havent broken a cv offroad yet touch wood). I've always done it the longer way because I've planned on putting a wheel bearing/swivel housing kit through it. I can definatey see the "quick way" being an advantage if I need to swap out a broken one on a wheeling trip.

dont take the brake line off, then you need to bleed them, just get the caliper up out of the way and support it :cool:

A picture is worth a thousand words and I am guessing you would like one.

If you click on the link below you will be able to download a PDF of the Toyota Front Axle and everything you need to know about pulling it apart. It is 5mb in size and well worth the bandwidth

Curious, unless your running MQ/MK diff C200 the Nissan G60 Front Diff C216 cannot take a locker.

What were you planning ?
