Kit Contents:
Note: Wheel bearings are not included in Knuckle Kits. These items are listed below in the Related Products section.
To complete this job you're also going to require 4 tubs (~4 lbs) of Moly grease (see Related Products below).
• Lateral Control Arm Bushings for Prado models: If you have a Prado such as the LJ78 a KZJ78 or the short wheelbase variants, and have lateral play in your front end, you should consider replacing the lateral control arm bushings while you're working on the front end. These parts are listed here: lower bushings (2 required), upper bushing (1 required)
The DT-SH5 Kit does not include gaskets or seals for use with Electric Locking Hubs (order separately - see part numbers with links below) as found on JDM 70 series >1990 (HZJ73, HZJ77, LJ78, KZJ78 etc). These parts are specific to these models - where they were supplied on Japanese Domestic Market vehicles - such as the LJ78, KZJ78, HZJ73, and HZJ77 among others.
• If you are using Electric Locking Hubs, you may need to order the following additional parts:
Important: Tips for re-instsalling Electric Locking Hubs if so equipped: The electric locking hubs have two small electrical contact brushes per hub.
These brushes must be retracted when you re-install the hub of you will break them off, rendering your hubs useless. **Spare parts are not available from Toyota**
There is a small sticker written in Japanese (if it's still there) that tells you to push the brushes back, and insert a paperclip into the tiny hole to hold the brushes back during installation. Once the hub is in place, pull the paperclip out and the brushes will spring into position.
Slip Rings are an important part of the hub bearing adjustment nut system as models that use the slip ring to hold the hub nut in place to prevent it from coming off by way of keying into the bearing spindle and use 3 torx (T20) screws that lock the slip ring into place with the underlying nut.
• Spare slip rings are available if you have a broken one (the brass can crack and prevent then from passing electrical current). Toyota part: 43532-60020
Note: The Torx screws can be very tricky to remove if they have been in place for a long time and they will often strip the torx head out or break the tip off the T20 tool. These screws are easy to damage when you try to remove them, so order spares (3 per side required): 90149-50055
Removing the T20 Torx Screws Retaining the Slip Ring: There are a few ways to get these to loosen off when they are being difficult: one method is to use a flat-ended punch with a relatively wide end (so as to not damage the slip ring surface or break the brass slip rings) and to strike the punch with a small hammer to impact the slip ring near the screw while another person is applying torque to the screw with a T20 torx socket on a 1/4" drive ratchet or a 1/4" drive mini breaker bar. 3/8" tools work as well, but 1/4” offer better control. **The objective is to have the impact from the punch displace the ring momentarily, permitting the screw to turn.
Another way to get the screws to back off is to use a hand-operated impact driver - and hammer the driver !!gently!! - as you apply loosening pressure to the screw - this has a similar but somewhat different effect to the above method. Using a hand impact driver does have the tendency to break the T20 driver bits, however, so have a few spare T20 tips on hand (and buy lifetime warranty tools!).
Be careful not to apply too much force as these screws can strip the torx drive in the screw or break the end of the torx socket/screwdriver rather easily.
