FJ45 Landcruiser Restoration | How to Rebuild a Landcruiser Manual Steering Box | Episode 8

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The restoration of my 1974 Toyota FJ45 Landcruiser restomod continues. In this episode I document the disassembly process of the manual steering box on my 1974 Toyota FJ45 Landcruiser.
I have never taken one of these units apart before, but it is pretty straightforward having done it now. There are only a couple of tricky bits which I go into detail on how to handle.
Drop your comments and suggestions below as this will be a real learning journey for me having never done it before.

    Yes, the bronze bush in the box is a serviceable item as well. When you have the box disassembled, just insert the shaft and wiggle it back and forth. You will be able to tell quite quickly if the bush is worn out or not. Cheers
