@@Texasknowhow you got it buddy!

Just did this fix on my 94. I had exactly the same screw problem in the same location. Fortunately the bit came out and I was able to drill it and undo the stud without going through hours of headache. Thanks for the video! It helped out tremendously. I've been frustrated with the dripping oil for years. Now its clean and I can park on my driveway again. I think between my son & I we spent 8 hours doing the work. We didn't do anything with the distributor since it was done last year. Nor did we change the main seal behind the harmonic balancer. All our time was spent on that pesky oil pump seal. I'm so glad I found this video. You are great at explaining and showing the details needed to do a job. Thanks again.

I would love to get my '95 that clean. You do a great job.

This helped my dad alot, he thought he had to change the crank sharp front seal, but after seeing the video he knew it was the oil pump gasket. Thanks for the video, you saved my dad a couple chromosomes.

About to do my '95 and this is by far the best video I found. Extremely thankful that you took the time to post this. I hope you keep posting videos of your Land Cruiser fixes as I'm never getting rid of mine and want to learn from you. Thanks again

Thanks Clay. I've been in the process of base lining my 93 for the past year. Oil pump cover O ring and new screws have been sitting in a drawer for months. Once I found out the local guy wants to charge me $950 to do this job, I decided it's time to tackle it myself. I'll keep you posted. Keep up the great work!

Just finished replacing the o-ring on the shaft of the distributor on my 94'. It went very smooth and I'm going to tackle the the other oil leaks next week. Thanks for the posts Clay and couldn't have done it without you!

Your video was very helpful, thank you for taking your time to do that. Anyone reading this, my only mistake in doing the job was not taking the battery box out in the beginning. I thought I could do it with it in, but ended up wasting more time trying to work around it then the 5-10 minutes to remove it. Also, I was lucky, no broken bits or fasteners, used a new impact grade #3 drive, and new replacement screws. My fan blade nuts were pretty shot so hindsight it would have been nice to put 4 new ones on, will have to do that soon. Thanks again.

Great Video- Thanks for taking the time to record this!

From Frank in Outback (Broken Hill), Australia: G'day mate.., thanks for your videos, they've been very helpful, and informative. I would like to apologise in advance for the length of this post, but please bear with me. I own a 1995, 80 series Cruiser, with over 400,000kms on the clock. The engine had never been touched from the time it was built (Sept 1995), until Sept 2020. Effectively, I was pretty well forced to conduct a complete top-end rebuild late in 2020 (head-gasket, head-shave, valve-grind, timing chain, etc.), basically everything short of the pistons and big-end bearings, all of which (surprisingly), were in really good condition. It's just as well that I did give the old girl an overhaul, because with the amount of oil leaks, and built-up, burnt oil everywhere and on every surface, I'm astounded that it still fired up. Several gallons of degreaser, thinners, and much scraping with chisels later, I managed to get it all cleaned out. Regarding the distributor, I have been getting oil inside the unit, and it wasn't until I saw this video, that my suspicions about an internal shaft seal, were confirmed. The main problem with oil inside the distributor is that, as the shaft and rotor button spin, they literally atomise the oil, and spread it all over the magnets, cables, and spark-plug terminals. This causes no end of shorting out, and then mis-firing and back-firing, to the extent that the car won't run. I haven't been able to find anywhere here (in Oz), that I can obtain a new seal for the shaft, so I'm installing a new, complete distributor assembly (at least I'll have some spare bits if the new one plays up.!). Regarding the Harmonic Balancer bolt, and its removal and reinstallation. I appreciate the demonstration with the 3/4" breaker bar, however, it can be a bit dodgy if it slips, with the potential to hurt yourself. I had a mate manufacture a tool that would bolt onto the pulley, and would jam hard against either side of the engine bay. Without wishing to promote another mechanic's site, I found the design for the tool on the 'OTRAMM' site, on the video explaining how to replace the Oil Pump Cover Seal, and the Front Crank Shaft Seal. Basically, the tool is a circular piece of 1/4inch steel, with a hole in the centre, large enough to fit the 30mm socket that's needed to access the HB bolt. It's made to fit inside the outer rim of the HB pulley, and has 2 holes drilled in it, which match up with the bolt holes on the HB pulley. There is a length of 1/4inch steel bar, welded to the circle, slightly bent, so that it can rest against the wheel arch on either side of the engine bay, depending whether or not, you are removing or installing the bolt. It looks like a long, heavy steel lollipop with a hole in the middle. I have to say that it's brilliant.! I also found out that the reason that the HB bolt must be torqued down to 312ft/lbs, is that the drive gear at the rear of the HB pulley, drives the oil pump, and in turn, the power-steering pump. If the HB bolt in not torqued to 312 ft/lbs, the friction ('crush' pressure), required between the back of the HB pulley, and the crank/timing gear drive gear (inside the timing chain cover), will not be enough, and the oil pump will slip and not engage, nor will the power-steering pump. Just as an aside, when I was re-assembling the engine, I used a high temperature sealer on every surface, even when there new gaskets installed. It was the same sealer that is used on the sump pans (recommended by Toyota). The end result is that there are no leaks anywhere.., so far. Thank you again for your videos.., I'll keep watching with interest.

I have found the square head with 4 sides are the strongest and the hex with 6 sides is next in line . The torx heads are 6 sided but are more rounded and really made for robotic use because they make it easier to lineup so your getting a greater chance of slippage with the torx . That's why they make the ranches head 4 sides .The more parallel you have the slots the more grip you get ,any rounding or flaring you have the less grip you have so I would stick to hex and not torx head . . Do you have a link or any info on the size of the screws needed to replace the phillips head ?

One trick I learned when removing covers/parts with multiple fasteners is to break each bolt loose then replace them until you break them all free. Then go back and take them all out. This ensures the load isn't increased on the last bolt to come out.

Those Milwaukee lithium tools are the cats meow, I tried the 3/8 drive 12v ratchet wrench and loved it, so I went out and got the 18v 1/2inch impact wrench, my air tools don't see any use now. On those stubborn screws, I think I would pull the radiator for something like that, being able to get at it straight on really helps, then use an impact driver...the type that you hit with a hammer ( $25 at Sears). Or resort to the blue wrench, propane heat solves many problems. :)

Okay, at this point, just drill them out. Preferably use a reverse spin bit (turns lefty loosey). As the drill bit cuts the head off the screw it may grip and turn it out if it's turning that way. If you can't find a left twist bit, no worries, just drill them out. When the head pops off (use a bit the size of the threaded part of the screw) stop drilling. Take the cover off and use vise grips to remove the rest of the screw. Best of luck, thanks for commenting and for the complement. Clay

I hear you Jake, I will be releasing more vids in the near future, I've done the diff oil change & transfer case - just need to wrap up the post processing and get it up here. The coolant drain and replace is really easy one, I did that to base-line my 80S when I got it a little over a year ago. I also flushed it with a simple kit from the auto parts store. highly recommend this BTW. Thanks for the comments, take care, Clay
