No need to explain why you had that photo handy Dale... We understand... :P

Only chicks I saw at Golburn were you and Craig, Alex.

Guess I had that coming. :unsure:

receptionist....?

Forgotten that, or was that Artz?

That was Artz drooling. :)

Yep. :P

On topic, have there been any strange noises under your bonnet yet Dale? Swearing and the like?

Lol, how did you know? :whistling:

It's all fitted, and I'm pretty sure it's leak free now. Entirely my own fault; I should've known better, I re-used the OEM clamps on the Bleed block. :domokun:

Rookie error.

Ended up stripping right back to the valley, as I wasn't 100% sure I didn't have a leak on the bottom AN fitting. Ended up the coolant was sneaking down the inside of the Fireproof sleeve and pooling behind the plate in the valley.

Hose was perfect length, and with a tiny amount of detergent and a cup of boiling water to soften the hose; went together without issue.

EVERY SINGLE PHOTO I took has somehow been deleted from my camera, (4 year old camera aficionado to blame here), and I'm not pulling it down again. :no:

I haven't had a chance to drive it far yet, so I'm not sure of the improvement, but going by the slug of air trapped in the valley; it can't be worse.

Have you had the CV boot replaced recently?

Mine failed after it was disturbed when I had the CV repaired.

sorry, have not been on a while yes it was bov , all sorted :yes:

thats pretty scary.. yeah had a CV boot replaced about 10 weeks ago.. i watched the guy do it.. seemed to do it well.. have checked it its still intact..

I think pressing the shaft out of the wheel bearing is the straw that breaks the camel's back (so to speak) on bearings right at the end of their life.

Amayama is the best source for replacement bearings; buy a pair & make it worth the postage. ;)

I think pressing the shaft out of the wheel bearing is the straw that breaks the camel's back (so to speak) on bearings right at the end of their life.

Pretty much at any time of their life. Front (Flat) roller bearings require sufficient clamping force (the tightened driveshaft provides this), for correct operation. So, any excessive pressing/hammering/bashing of the shaft to remove it from the hub, will most likely kill the bearing.

If, for any reason, the car needs to be moved with the driveshaft removed, the outer cup needs to be removed from the shaft, refitted to the hub & tightened, or bearing failure WILL occur.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
