Aisin Hubs Mounting Supplies

[_ExpeditionMan]

Hey everyone,

Tried searching for this, but please let me know if I missed it..

I just bought a set of used Aisin hubs and they came without the mounting hardware. Any one know where I can get the hardware or know what's required and I can just head on down to the hardware store?

Thanks in advance for the help.

You can get hardware from the store. They come with studs that hold them on but I went with all stainless bolts when I rebuilt mine. Sorry I can't remember the sizes though, I took my studs to the store to match them up. There are cone washers you will need as well but not sure where you'd get them. I coulda swore I saw a hardware kit on eBay at one point.

I would use hardened studs not regular run of the mill hardware store type.

Marlin has them too, and I bet you could get them from the dealer if you were desperate. https://www.marlincrawler.com/axle/...ardware/hardware-front-hilux/8mm-hub-stud-kit

You really want to get some real hardware in there. Those cone washers are there for a reason.

These look good, but when looking at the item I saw at the top they fit 1979-1995 4runners, but then at the bottom in the items description they list the fit as only for solid axles 4runners.. Will these work for IFS 1994?

Nope, that says '79-'85, which are the solid axle years. '86 to '95 are the early IFS setup like yours. Hub lockouts don't swap straight over between IFS and solid axle hubs, there's some differences.

But I bet that's a typo. If you look at Low Range's listing for a single hub stud and hardware, it says it'll fit 79-85 and 86-95 4Runners.

Awesome thanks for the explanation and help everyone!

Thank you, was just going to post the same thing. Please don't just buy whatever you find at the hardware store. It's not the same.

I upgraded all my hub studs to ARP. Those cone washers are crucial to keeping the hub tight.

aisin hardware

spank me if I'm wrong, winging it from memory back when I installed my manuals

but I thought the cone washers ( uncommon & critical for tight fit) , the flat washers and nuts (good grade stuff ought to do...) fitting the Aisin hubs were the same as on the wildly common fixed hubs.

I'd use my trucks or go to the junk yard, the only part the ought to wear in normal situ are the nuts from people who over torque the fairly modest stud nut.

I'd hit the junk yard for all, maybe refresh the nuts from retail. High grade of course.

Bring a brass drift or a thick piece of aluminum plus a hammer, a couple good whacks on the (protected) STUD should pop the cone washers out. At least dont beat on your own trucks studs w/o a drift,

Well if I can reuse the hardware I already have on my truck which has the autohubs I could save myself some real cash! Can anyone else confirm this?

You can reuse the hardware.

x2 if those studs snap under pressure they make the hub a weapon as it flies off. Upgraded studs are cheap in comparison.

Well I just caved and spent some money on some upgraded studs from lowrangeoffroad. Peace of mind is worth the money. Thanks for the information everyone

 

[Bad_Vision]

Glad to hear! You made the right choice!

since yer the ambitious type, studs sounded like a good project.

am looking into a set. Any one know the dimensions in case ARP needs those numbers ?
