done the new bearing thing a few times in these idlers, say a few times then gave up for could not get the thing to sit in perfectly square and idler wobbled once in place. Went for a good used and never looked back If you have access to a lathe it pays to give it a quick skim. I took off about 0.2...

New bearing and press it in. I think mine was about 16.00 from cbc. I had to clean the pully up on the lathe a bit though the heat from seizing it distorted it a little and it had a bit of runout in it. The hardest part is getting the circlip out so 15 minute job tops.

Nah I'm not a hoon, Just unlucky. Got pulled into a rbt and defect station and they were going to town on everyone. They even defected a new hilux for led tail lights :/ I found the lever figured awd hi is fine for a brumby, there's no weight in it.

I did buy it with the intention of keeping it as is, spent just over a 1800$ on it getting all the wheel bearings cvs and engine and gearbox mounts fixed and got defected to regency a week later. The end result is they wanted all the rust repaired, seats fixed, seat belts replaced and a full enginee...

There is a thread on here but I couldn't find it... I fitted the 5 speed to my brumby and its not to hard.

Stay away from ebay cv's... if you can, go to a cv specialist or auto parts store. They can get all the parts you need or buy complete units, it will cost more but you will get what you pay for. I got auto force cv's for about 160 each and they come with a 60000km warranty. Also depends on the car a...

All sorted! Had a huge amount of air in the rear left drum and a split vacuum hose. Now I can drive it again without fear of death.. �� thanks for the help. Will be throwing the disks on as soon as my ej22 is ready to put in

I have 2 new drum cylinders in the shed. Tried removing the brake lines but they are pretty tight and feel like im going to round them off. I have a full rear disk set up sitting here too but i was waiting to do the rear bearings before I totally pull it apart to put them on. I'm going to have anoth...

I have no visible leaks but I'm going to have a another good look tomorrow. 8 have a spare booster and master but it american so all the bleeds are on the lhs.

Trip to upullit scored some sunrays with center caps and 90% tried ☺ still trying to sort out brake issue with a few things to try tomorrow.

Has anyone come across this issue? I have brakes when the brumby is off but when I start it the pedal goes to the floor. Is it a split line or vacuum leak in the booster?

And yes I plan on using the ej box and Diff so I get FT4WD in the brumby.

We're pretty lucky, I have a cv specialist about 15mins from my house and he'll build whatever you like. He did a few heavy duty cv/axel shafts for my skyline using thick 4wd shafts. Lasted for ages and they are priced very fairly. Ill be making a trip there when the time comes.

Not to sure yet. I have 4 wheel disk brakes already in 4 stud so I haven't completely decided yet. if I keep the 4 stud I'll get custom cv's. Its a bit of a headache going 5 stud and finding a c r o s s b r e d kit is getting hard as they're rare as hens teeth..

So here's a few photos on the quality workmanship... and a nice piece of wire through the cv... and thats just the start...

That would be awesome. The one in the l series is very dodgy to say the least and I want to do this properly

Hey peoples, I'm just chasing some info on the gear box crossmember for an awd conversion to a brumby. I would like a few photos if possible as most the threads have dead links. I'm planing on taking out the ej22, awd single range gear box diff ect out of the l series and putting it all in my brumby...

Thanks for the input, think ill have to make a trip to upullit and take a few measurements. Luckily there are a few wagons down this way. I was hoping to get a replacement kit and just do it all in one go.

I want to remove my lift kit from my 1992 sportswagon. Can you buy all new original bolts or am I going to need to do a run to the wreckers and remove all the bolts from a wreck? Even if i can get a list so I can go purchase all new bolts would be better than recycling old stuff. I had a quick look ...

Tried this today, turns out the rotay table on the mill is stuffed, bored the pcd according to the disk and the table lost 1.5 mm per revolution D: first hub binned going to give it another crack at some point next week or so..
