Re: Oil capacity and grades

Presuming drain plugs are magnetic?

Re: Help to restore my LJ80 2 Q

Depending on how long its been sat and the condition when parked up it could be seized bearings or seized diff stopping it rolling. I don’t know of any member who would be prepared to take it on as a restoration but if you add your rough location some members may be prepared to give a couple of hour...

Re: Help to restore my LJ80 2 Q

Hi, sounds like a good little project. Nothing I am remotely interested in doing though sadly. Might be worth adding a rough location to your post so people know where you are or if you a prepared to have it transported somewhere. They are fairly easy to work on yourself.

Also go collect some ramps and axle stands.

Not necessarily as the air can get trapped at the top of the chamber. 99% sure the caliper is designed to be fitted in the 12 o’clock position for the bleed nipple to be the highest point.

Re: HELP!! No brake pedal after rear disc conv.

Are you bleeding the brakes with the caliper in the correct position?
