80 series Landcruiser rear axle removal - need advice.
MugMechanic
I've noticed a slight oil leak from the right rear axle when I pulled off
the brake disk to check the handbrake and adjust. So I suspect an axle oil
seal needs replacing.
I have one of those rather useless Gregory's repair manuals and all it says
about removing the rear axle is :-
1. Remove the axle shaft to rear hub nuts and spring washers.
[OK done, removed six 12mm nuts and spring washers, bit tight with rust
but they came off OK with WD40.]
2. Using a hammer and brass punch on the studs remove the cone washers from
the axle shaft flange.
{Here I'm stuck. I've tried tapping the studs with a brass drift, but
nothing happens. I can see the "cone washers" but how hard do I have to belt
the studs to get them out? I'm afraid to bash the studs too hard for fear of
damaging them. I've applied some WD40 and let it stand overnight.}
3. Install 2 x M8x25mm bolts to the threaded holes in the axle shaft flange
and tighten evenly until the flange is dislodged from the rear hub.
[OK no problem, I can do that, but it seems you have to get the cone
washers out first as per step 2]
There are no comprehensive illustrations in the Gregory's manual to help.
Can anyone please advise on how to go about step 2 to get the cone washers
out, just tapping the studs even fairly hard with the brass drift dies not
seem to do the trick.
Cheers,
MugMechanic.

Hiya,
I recently adjusted the front wheel bearing on my wifes 91 Hulux surf
SSR-X. I've never come across the cone washers before but if you look
closely they are split to allow a change of diameter. They were in really
tight. You could try heat & wd40 but I just 'kept beating' on them behind
the split and between the gasket of the flange. The gasket itself wasn't
for moving either. Also thread the wheel nuts back on to protect the thread
and tap the bolt helps to loosen the cones.

real penetrating fluid. A product named PB BLaster is decent, Liquid
Wrench is decent and I am sure there are a few more brands.
Liquid wrench will do in an hour what a water displacer like WD40 will
loosen in a week of daily soakings. (well, maybe a few days) There is a
radical difference. Even brake fluid is a better penetrant than WD40,
but it is real hard on paint.

And for anyone too cheap to buy you can make your own. Take two parts
diesel fuel to ATF... Works well, and will soak in generally.
Aero-Kroil is another good product.

The same river which runs there is idem numero as that which runs at the
same time in China.
513. Why God has established prayer.
1. To communicate to His creatures the dignity of causality.
2. To teach us from whom our virtue comes.
3. To make us deserve other virtues by work.
(But to keep His own pre-eminence, He grants prayer to whom He pleases.)
Objection: But we believe that we hold prayer of ourselves.
This is absurd; for since, though having faith, we cannot have virtues, how
should we have faith? Is there a greater distance between infidelity and
faith than between faith and virtue?
Merit. This word is ambiguous.

Meruit tam sacra membra tangere.79

God is only bound according to His promises. He has promised to grant
justice to prayers; He has never promised prayer only to the children of
promise.

the righteous. But it is by
