Its good to see your having a go, hope your leanring heaps. It can be pretty frustrating at times. Even i get frustrated when i come accross new things at work :lolcry:

haha look at all the replies cool! i didnt see any when i 1st started typing hope all this info and thses guys/myself can help you dude.

Id say the age of the KE70 you would need to replace the wheel bearings/grease/hubseals and split pins. The freeplay you can feel by removing the brake caliper. With the disc rotor cooled down, grab the disc rotor either side and try to wobble if you feel anything there is freeplay. Remove the cap that keeps the grease from escaping and take the split pin out and renew the pin on reasembly. There will be a little cage that covers the "hub nut". this hub nut is where you adjust the freeplay.The freeplay can be reduced by tightening the nut. Freeplay for bearings means exactly that, they need a little free play so either bearing each side of the hub can still move, so using the natural weight of a 30mm shifter droping from above the nut, should be enough for starters but a minor bit of tension of about 1-3mm after the freedrop should get you the required freeplay. After a few years of doing these on a regulary basis its a feel and drag of the bearings. It may be too tight the 1st few times you try it but its all about getting the sweet spot. Too tight and all you will do is end up with wornout/burntout bearings or even seized. If you want to replace the bearings at the stage where the nut is getting adjusted, just take the nut off and then remove the hub/disc rotor as one peice off the strut spindle. Take note there is a washer that sits between the nut and bearing don't loose this :lolcry:. Pry out the hub seal and proceed to clean all the grease out of the hub and you will need knock out the bearing cups evenly, you'll notice the new ones what they look like. Fit the new cups for the bearings in exaclty the way they came out. when fitting these you will need to hit them on the other side taking great care that the drift you use to hit then out and in with doesnt hit the surface the brearing needs to run against as this will cuase all sorts of issues. Make sure the bearing cups are seated you will notice this by the deeper sound the drift makes and the fact the cup is no longer moveing inwards. Work the new grease into the brearings and fully gearse the inside of the hub. Install the larger of the bearings 1st and then fit the hub seal by taping around the metal edge evenly until seal i level with the high edge of the hub you are tapping it into. Gease the spindle slightly and refit the hub reapeat greaseing the other bearing and fit with washer and proceed to fit nut and tension as mentioned before. The rear brearings are pressed onto the axle which requires reamoval of the brake assembly and sometimes a slide hammer to remove from the axle housing. your need a grinder to cut the retaining collar that goes on after the bearing and a chisle and hammer to separtate or you can keep grinding into the axle NOT! recommended. and youll need a press and some locating tools to remove and fit the bearing to the axle. A new axle seal would be awesome too before you put the axle back. While the axle is out might be a good opurtunity to replace the diff oil and check the brakes and wheel cylinders and brake fluid change. i didnt really have time to spell check this, off to a bucks party, hope if helped to give you an idea of the question you asked if ive missed anything hope others can fill in the gaps it one of those things where is still probably better if you had someone to show you the process.

Hey nice ride love seeing the old panel vans around. is that engine a 3SGE out of a MR2 ?

Hey myles have you bought an manual for your car yet ? alot of the answers to you questions are in there. Id come and help you but I'm on the other side of the city to you. I might have a manual here but its packed away and sealed in boxes. You don't need many tools to work on a K motor, get a basic tool kit for xmas ? only if your keen about messing about with corollas. let me know how stuck you get getting this engine running and well go from there.

Its here and ive been told that the spelling is "bailie" pics

"million dollar rug sale" like cmon man. i support skin haggle boy!

saw a regular drifter on the street a few years ago he had a vl didnt do too bad

yeah they look CSA ish

sounds good i support this option :yes: don't think my car will ever been show worthy but ill be there.

yeah i spotted him as well :jamie:

yeah i know what you mean dude. i totally roasted a L300 van yesterday

cheers dude been thinking about this heaps looking through name lists and stuff and the missus is getting frustrated that i can't decide how about bailey dog will be here in 2 days

rumour top gear aus getting the sack and top gear uk getting the nod ??

if its cold id set the clearances to .25 and .35 once the engine is at operating temperature let run for another 10 minutesa and rip off the rocker cover and adjust as quickly as possibile as to get a correct reading. If there is this clearance when the engine is cold atleast you know the valves will be shut. what have you checked so far myles ? Oh at TDC top dead centre with inlet closing on number 1 cylinder i think the rotor button should be pointing towards no 2 spark plug visually. I had 2 manuals a factory K manual and a ke20/30 manual come in ver handy easy to read. pick the 1200 corolla manual up easy for 30 bucks even at old book shops or swap meets. or order a new one from any car parts stores.

rollaclub only day out sounds great I'm in hope sa members make the effort.

spotted orange ke20 on peacock rd which is the extesion of king william street through the parklands

hey doesnt this type of pannel van come with AE86 struts already ?

I found with the ke30's on any door (rear ones the bes)t all you need to do is lift the rubber seal from along the top of the door and get a long screw driver and just push down on the mechanism. In the car in less than 20 seconds. Id be putting some kinda cover over the mechanism on the inside of the door. Solex good idea, most corolla owners keys can start and open other corollas.

hhahahaha i think i wet myself that cat/shark pic

hey yeah was good to get out and meet a few other drivers been a long time since id seen cat from the old days. left early car wasnt running the best.

wait a sec. you mean to tell me there is another continent other than australia ??

spotted ke20 brown on sturt street again also at 5.05pm a white ke20 with rollaclub sticker on back window turning onto greenhill rd off west tce and a silver AE86 with the same plates coming the other way. then i spotted a orange ke20 going inot the city out the front of monroe's on south rd.
