You are the type of person I want working on my vehicles. You are obviously very knowledgeable and you take pride in what you do! Those skills are difficult to come by.

If you are looking for a shop to work on your LandCruiser, OTRAMM is the place to bring it! Without hesitation he is my first choice when I do not perform the work myself.

Amazing and quality work! Thanks for posting this. You now have a new subscriber 😎🙏

Nice video and well recorded. Keep it up 👍

M5 Aviation, 100% agree with you ! someone whom takes pride in there work nowadays is hard to find, this channels garage is only a few hours from my house and I have plans for him to do some work on my newer LC200 in the near future.

Excellent video brother ...god bless you

Great info👍 Definitely going Harrop now on my GU Cheers

Awesome video🤙

Nice pattern!

Very impressed.

nice video mate

Ryan every video you produce is top quality, complete, inline with the factory FSM and includes your experience. Wish I had the cash to ship you my 80 series and a blank check for you to go crazy to the 9's. For now with you and the FSM I can get "R" Done. Thanks for all the awesome videos an content!

Good job, are fzj80 ring & pinion face milled or hobb milled?

I may find myself in the fj80 market soon and find your videos very helpful. Regeqr and lockers are a must and I prefer to do my own installs, though I have only done Nissan's and salsbury style axles.. Do find you have to adjust pinion depth much with these installs? If so do you use a setup bearing?

With Yukon gears at least the factory master shim seems to be really close most of the time. Often enough that I never bothered to make a setup bearing. Having a big press makes it easy too.

G'day from Australia mate, awesome videos, just wondering what sealer you are using on the splines/seals? Just high temp / oil resistant RTV? Do you do the same thing on axle seals and other things? Cheers!

How do you adjust pinion depth? Are there shims or washers for that?

@OTRAMM

4 жыл бұрын

There are shims either behind the pinion bearing or behind the race depending on year.

I am about to install a harrop locker on my nissan patrol Y61 3rd member. The adjustment of carrier bearings is exactly the same. I am intrigued with the measurement of the measurement of the adjuster cap using the dial indicator. This is to make sure that the bearings are tight enough on both sides so that a notch turn in opposite directions moves the carrier left or right? Also I have not heard to use loctite on the bearing cap bolts, is this necassary, as Harrop does not mention this, only loctite 262 on the crown to carrier bolts.

@OTRAMM

The dial indicator the the adjuster is part of Toyota's instructions for setting the preload. It shows that the bearings are loaded. The instructions don't call out locktite. I use it as added insurance. I tend to locktite anything that moves.

....Is the "crush sleeve" just a Toyota thing? I did a '66 Bronco front axle and no crush sleeve - what is the benefit of the crush sleeve?

@OTRAMM

4 жыл бұрын

I know Dana uses them as well. The old Toyota stuff used shims to set preload. It swapped to crush sleeve in the mid seventies. Crush sleeves are faster for assembly since you just crush them til preload is correct instead if messing with shims. You can dial it in a bit closer to since you don't have shim thickness "steps" sometimes a shim is too thick or thin to be dead on.

I know this is old… but, why don’t you use starting torque when checking pinion preload like the service manual instructs?

Not sure I understand your question. I follow the service manual building this diff. The pinion preload is set toward the end of the video.

Isn't 244 Red Locktight too much? I was thinking 242 Blue Locktight or maybe 243... Red 244 is said to be permanent. That's why I'm asking. If your supposed to later need for an adjustment; is 244 Red Locktight, an obstacle then? Just wondering and curious. Thank you all your efforts and dedication! 👍

For the rear yes.

So you forgot the camera on the pinion bearing install piece. When doing new gears do you reuse the shim under the pressed on bearing or do you install a new shim. If new how do you know how much to shim it. Also when doing the initial pattern on this one you hit it right the first time, what if it's not?

@OTRAMM

2 жыл бұрын

I start with the original pinion shim. Then check the pattern. If the pattern is off I add or subtract shim thickness from there. Gears are a blend of art and science since you have to interpret the contact pattern to know what changes need to be made.

When you do the initial test with the pinion are you pressing on the new bearing or using a test bearing that slips on and off easier? I've seen where guys grind the old bearing out a bit so it slips on and off the pinion to do the test and get the shims right.

Dude, you obviously know what you're doing. Too bad you didn't have someone to help you film. A stationary camera is seriously limiting the quality of your videos. The right camera angles and lighting to see all the action can make all the difference to the viewer. Enlist someone to help you while filming and the quality of your videos will go way up. A friendly suggestion from one Automotive KZreadr to another.

It originally mounted in a vise, the a hitch receiver vertically, then horizontally, finally bolted to the engine stand head. I'm building new shop benches soon and some different tool adapters. The diff holder is on the list to rebuild. I'll try and get a video.

Mate you’re unbelievable. Amazing work. Can I offer some constructive criticism about your video. As your doing an instructional video it’s very important to have a clear view of what’s happening. It seems that either your hand or you body is blocking the camera. May I suggest raise you camera up and place it at about 45 degrees. (From high looking down at 45) Eg you say stake the nut. Your there tapping but can’t see what you’re doing. Just looks like a guy with a hammer. I do realise you need to make a living and your life isn’t about you tube. I’m just saying your so talented, your videos good be even better. Please don’t take this as criticism, I highly appreciate the effort you go to. On a different not. Diffs are quite complicated. Omg. I’m smart enough to know I’m too dumb to do what you just did.
