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.

Hello Terry , Love Your channel , but one thing I have to tell You when You are using Wad / hole punches , use them on the end grain of the timber , will give You a cleaner cut and also keep the edge on the punch .... Cheers Dave ....

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

Hey mate, idea for a video, when you ever around to it would love to see a video of you setting up all the drag link, and steering rod lengths etc.

Thanks for the idea Travis, I’ll definitely put that in my to do list. I have not set any of that up yet as I want to get the full weight of the vehicle on the suspension before I dial any of that in. Keep the shiny side up mate and thanks again.😎👍

Hey Terry, do you think you’ll upgrade to power steering at all? LSA with manual steering could be a handful 😁

Yes definitely Jonty. I will be installing an electric unit where you swap out the entire column. The power steering pump on the LSA will be used to drive a hydraboost hooked up to my brakes for awesome stopping power. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Hi Terry, what do you mean by backslash?

If you grab a tailshaft on any car in your hands and you rotate it back and forth, the movement you get is called backlash. Cheers👍😎
