Hi Guys, I am no mechanic and this video is for entertainment. i just enjoy trying to maintain and fix my car. All the work we do here is done in the driveway out the front 😂. Hope you enjoy it and back to camping soon 🤠. cheers shad. Merch Available www.shaddonaghue.com
Ah, the old cone washer, forgotten all about them as we bailed from our 76 many years ago, thanks for the memory, not. Hopefully our Patrol rear end lives up to the Patrol reputation, lovely and strong. Bet you're glad this happened close to home and not recently in the high country - camper in tow, that would have created some issues for you. You now need to get back out there and keep the videos coming in to keep us entertained, you gave me a good reason to sit here and enjoy a bourbon or two tonight watching this one. 🧋🧋🤒🤒
Thanks mate , yeah those cone washers 😬. The patrol driveline seems to be a bit more stronger although i have put mine through a bit and yes glad that didn’t happen in the high country, i would have fixed it down there i say. Yeah we have another video on the edit and also heading out again soon so plenty on the way , actually better buy another bottle of bourbon 👍👍👍. Thanks for tuning in again i really appreciate it.
Great home fix and repair skill. Looks like Toyota's rear axel width correction should have been done in manufacture, people are paying to correct it and again when the longer axels fail not good but few other issues over 8 years pretty good overall. The patrols are stronger but also do CVs when pushed excessively such are the costs of having fun on hard bush tracks.
Great video Shad and informative, finally got a chance to watch it mate. Glad you got it sorted mate and replaced 2 instead of the one that was broken. Peace of mind 👍 My wife and I get our trutracker installed in 2 weeks for a 3780kg GVM upgrade for our new 79. Done a lot of research on this and I reckon it’s a good bit of kit. Thanks for sharing Shad 🤙🏻
Great work Shad. The saving you made on the labour along is worth doing at home. I recently had to get my power-steering pump replaced. The labour and part cost me over $1K.
Despite the extra expense, it doe's make sense to replace the other side as well, who knows if next time out you do the other side as well. Good video, thanks Shad..
4.43 Air hammer works wonders with the cone washers. I've got 3 bottles of that Penrite stuff mate. Been waiting a while now. When you coming to change my oil bro?
Great video. About to install the TTracker myself. Any thoughts or comments about axle strength? Your rear extended shackles maybe pointing your diff yoke up. Had a similar thing on my Troopy and corrected it with wedges to get rid of the vibration. Great work 👍
Im happy with the axle’s strength, they make them to oem spec , so any stronger and you risk breaking something else first maybe diff centre. Ive had that in for probably 7 years and my car is mainly towing and offroad so i can’t complain. Was thinking of changing that rear spring set up actually. Thanks for watching
Good one mate, nothing like doing repairs yourself. 👍👍 at least you know it’s done properly then. Good work legend P.S - we’ve got those oil drain pans at work, $12.95 ! Money well spent !!!
@@shaddonaghuenah it was great. Even for people who don’t necessarily own a 76, it’s still some good basic mechanical knowledge sharing who may just help them too. Same with my EGR replacement video. If it helps someone else, then it makes it all worth while eh. Good stuff 🤜🤛
Yeah Grant they're great. I got one for engine oils. Was a gift. Can screw the cover back on then pour the old oil back into a container to take to someone who can recycle it. Must get one for diff oil and another for Auto tranny oils. And Shad use an air hammer with a soft anvil or get a hammer/chisel thingy for your battery makita platform that might work as well. Really talks to them pesky cone washers
Pleased to see you got it fixed. I'm planning to service the bearings in my 2018 76 soon. First time I'll be doing the work myself on a 70. Do you activate the rear locker before removing the axles? Also do you remove the abs sensors - assuming your 2016 model will be similar? Cheers mate
