How to install Aisin Free-wheel Hubs on Isuzu D-max

- EDIT: Should have added: With the factory shim and circlip back in place, measure freeplay with feeler gauges. There should be 0-0.2mm. Reshim as required.
Quick video to discuss why I'm fitting frree-wheeling hubs on my Isuzu Dmax, and a step by step tutorial on how to do it.

Where abouts are you measuring the freeplay mate?
Wild Touring yeah i also tried ARB with the AVM brand. Don’t think they make them for the bt yet or at all. Cheers mate, safe driving👍
But you dont need these for insalling the hubs or do you need
Install seems wicked simple keen to do this to the colly now,
Might do the wheel bearings while I'm at it,
Awesome vid cheers bloke!
I love the Aisin Hubs - wish I could fit them to my Navara D'oh!
Ever hear a snap ring go flying outside… lovely sound.
Thanks mate, very useful. Someone stole one of my hubs, I got one sent to me from an auto wrecker, was wondering where the circlip.went 😆 cheers.
I solved the problem of the 4x4 functioning by mounting the tyrex manual hubs instead of the automatic hubs that always gave problems in my 2001 Suzuki Jimny 4x4 with m13a motor and to replace the automatic hubs and overhaul the vacuum system for inserting the 4x4 I would have spent many euros between spare parts and labor! (greetings from Florence Italy!)
Did not look too hard at all, cheers and thanks Wild Touring
Hi mate good clip again
You should carry one of the old hub fittings in case any issue with free wheel hub
I use mine in 4wd low in freewheel for reversing caravan helps save the clutch
So you can have low range 2wd also
I just put an Auto Lokka in my RC Colorado front axle. I've realised my front driveshaft is rotating in 2wd (which means my transfer box chain is rotating too) and my fuel economy has got worse. I've bought an Aisin freewheel hub and will put it on the RH wheel to stop the front driveshaft etc rotating. I hope my fuel economy improves. If it works OK I might buy one for the LH side so I can put the car in 2wd low range for eg pulling heavy loads up my steep driveway. It'd be good if a wheel nut cover would still fit.
My 2009 disengage by itself the electric actuator want to fit fwh but not sure about the actuator
Thanks for posting this. Was a bit stressed out on tackling this job over the weekend by crystal clear now.
What size tyres and lift are you running there? Have you had any fuel economy issues or anything else?
Cheers
I noticed you didnt put a gasket on the hub to wheel body. confused if its something i need to do?
Sir can you tell us how many splines on the axle end? Will this fit on the older Isuzu TFR /rodeo series?
How did you find the Toyo AT2s? Would you buy them again?
Do you have a link to this part ?
I have a 2012 LSM and love this mod. How are these travelling after nearly a year of use is the quality there or would you look at other options ?Do you have a link to where u got them. Backing my boat or camp trailer up drive way using normal low 4 is painful at best.
Brett they're performing perfectly. AISIN are probably the best you'll get. I bought mine off Ebay. Heres a link to a set;

Many thanks for reply I forgot to ask. You mention having to check the shimming and others have agreed. Do you get spare shims with new hubs or do I need to go to Isuzu dealers.
@@bretthughes34 i just used what was on my ute when i fitted the Asin hubs. There was two on drivers side and one on the passengers side. Tried with and without, with them was bettet
Hey mate what’s the part number ?
What is the torque spec for the bearing hub?
G’day Cam, is there any issues running in 2wd with manual hubs locked in after this mod? I do a fair bit of stuff where I jump on and off tarmac is all. Assume it’s fine?
Drew Nugent no problems at all. With the hubs locked in its the same as driving in 2wd before the mod.
Thanks mate.
Ahh, sorry, being picky here but the factory are not "auto locking hubs". They are "permanently locked" hubs with no ability to free wheel.
Yes I know it's just terminology, but geez I've seen that many people get confused but this same thing here.
Nice video though mate
Hey mate, where did you get the hubs from? Tried contacting AISIN direct to no avail. Wanting to see if they make them for a BT50.
I bought them through an eBay vendor, had a quick look for bt50 and didn't see any listings. They may not make them for bt50/rangers?
I went to excedy around the corner from me in vic they said super cheap and bursons can order them in.
@@WildTouring I think Isuzu is one of the many few, if not, the only truck who still uses old style full floating hubs wih tapered roller bearings. Most vehicles today use Unit Hub style bearings. This is the main reason why we can fit manual hubs on Isuzu.
So dumb question. If you just leave them in the locked position for daily use would that be the same as the factory auto hubs?
Yeap, exactly right.
@@WildTouring cheers. And perfectly safe to leave in locked then?
Thanks for the video. Just a quick one. I'm a little confused. When the new manual hubs are locked and I'm in 2wd it is basically still 2wd? When the hubs are locked and in high4 or low4 it's basically in 4WD? When hubs are unlocked and in high or low 4 what happens then? I must have missed the point please shed some light. Much appreciated. Also are these suited for the Colorado RG ?
You can get AISIN manual locking hubs to fit the RG, unsure of what the part number for your vehicle is though. With the hubs unlocked you will always be in 2wd regardless of whether the transfer case is 2H/4H/4L, because you are manually disconnecting the front hubs from the axle. I would still recommend that you leave the transfer in 2H though, as in 4H/4L the front driveline will still be rotating. With the hubs unlocked and the transfer case in 4L you will effectively have low range 2wd, which is great for low speed maneuvering on hard surfaces (think boat ramps etc). With the hubs locked in and the transfer case in 4L or 4H you will be in 4x4. Hope that clears it up for you? Cam.
Wild Touring couldn't have explained it any better. Cheers.

wish they made free wheeling hubs for hilux, really can't understand why they don't
What do you mean? I had them on my Hilux, and added them to my 4Runner which had Toyota ADD 4wd activation for the same reason as this video.
It's been a couple of months, did you end up noticing any better fuel economy?
TookErrrJerbs Nah I didn't. But I've also added some weight and more bar work. My best guess is that it probably has improved economy, but so little that it's negligible.
Thanks. I am looking at buying a Dmax pretty much the same as yours, you had any problems with yours?
TookErrrJerbs no problems whatsoever. They're fantastic cars, wish I'd bought one first before spending so much on the last landcruiser!
Hey thanks for the reply. Reliability is what I am after and the Dmax seems to be highly rated in reliability.
Hi mate what year is your Dmax?
It's a 2016 LSM
Has your fuel economy improved Cam? Waiting for van to arrive is like waiting for Santa. Cheers
Nah nothing noticeable. Still a worthwhile mod though. As the CVs are really weak in these cars. Nice to be able to unlock the hub so that you can drive home without a torn boot or broken axle/cv flopping around everywhere!
@@WildTouring thanks Cam.
