OK so my auto hubs on my Hzj73 cruiser are poked. Have bought some manual hubs but need help replacing them as I am incredibly hopeless with any car stuff. Anyone in Auckland can help for a box of beers or something? This weekend (Sunday) if possible please. Cheers John
Youtube mate. It really is a simple job. Cars are logical, don't overthink it.
If you do tackle it on your own, do one side at a time that way if you can't remember how to put it back together you can check the opposite side. It really isn't hard google and youtube should see you right. If your really not good on the tools then pay someone to do it, it's not a big job
if you think cars are logical try repairing electronic faults on anything italian :PQuote:

Yeah need to use a spacer kit as well so adds another potential pain. Will see how I get on this weekend
Auto hubs or electric? If electric you can swap them. There is a guy here in Nelson who modifys the electric hubs so they can be manually engaged. Plus is they are stronger than any replacement freewheeling hub available, OEM or aftermarket.
And take fotos as you take it apart...bloody helpful later when you ferget like me!!
AH it simple, Just think Italian cars/electronics usually involve taking the engine out and cutting out most of the wiring loom.Quote:

Off shooting today, so can't help sorry. Try to clean it all as it comes apart, and lay in order on a bit of newspaper or something, one side at a time.
easy, tungsten tipped shredder machine.Quote:
