Hilux Centre Bearing

Post by **Jaynizal** » Mon Mar 30, 2009 5:06 pm

Is there anything i can install on my lux to replace the centre bearing? im sick of replacing it every 500 kms because the shaft is on too much angle from the lift.
And its squeeking like crazy, does it have a grease nipple or just pack it by pushing it in?? please help. Thnx.

apparently a one piece tail shaft is the way to go

Thanks for the info.
Yeah i looked at the one peice shaft once before but then you have 3 problems. "1"- it cost approx $750 from what ive been quoted..
"2"- you then have lost your clearence coz it drops it down lower being one peice as you could imagine. "3" - being one peice rather then two you lose your torque which causes more stress on it or some crap so ive been told.

get a new bearing and inject it with sikaflex let it set and install
if running lots of lift pack it down with some spacers there is room for it
done this plenty of times for customers only drama is there is no repeat business
