Subject: TOY: Hub question


| Forgive me if this has been gone over before, but I'm looking for some
| wisdom from the list.

Hi Alan,
==> You're *forgiven*  : ^)

| My left front hub on my 85 4Runner won't completely unlock and has been a
| problem for some time. 

==> Have you removed the hub, checked the bearings, and recently re-packed 
the bearings with bearing grease?

| I was considering putting in a set of Warn hubs when
| someone told me that the stock Toy hubs are stronger.

==> Use the "force" Alan.  ;- )
[ sorry, Star Wars flashback ]   :-o   Wow!

| Advice?  

==> How about servicing your current AISIN Hubs?

Resources?

==> There was a write-up not too long ago....
...and it just so hapens that one of the Toyota List members has "posted"
AISIN Hubs - Identification and Rebuilding Guide. 

This information for all to share has come in handy and I *feel* that he
covered all of the FAQ's as well as some other topics.

==> My "thanks" to Author: Eric Johnson - ej@off-road.com  for His
time and effort to write the May 1999 article above. Kudos Eric!  :o )
HTH. Happy Trails,
