This place needs cleaned up

Post #47 and # 48 of the trunnion bearing thread

This is apparently a hub of IH8mush, even your wacky professor at the University of Toyota, states that the Birfield can run in gear oil and be just fine

I would like to see the correct information of this subject, if this thread is closed or dealeted than I know we have problems here.

Then why bother putting a seal between the wheel bearings and the knuckle (hint: it's not "all one assembly")? Why does the factory put wheel bearing grease in the wheel bearings? Why does my factory service manual say to use moly-fortified grease in the wheel bearings and packed into the birfield?

Do what works for you - I'm going to trust the dudes that designed the parts.

The professor

Here is a quote from the professor at the Toyota university that NW Wheelers will not let me post in its entire format his name is Idaho Doug, this was copied from edmunds car chat forum, He from what I have researched on the internet a corporate Toyota employee,

Get your leader on here and discuss the finer details on this design,

"the birfield is still running in oil and that's completely OK."

That is post giberish. Learn how to quote if you are going to post.

Still waiting for proof.

I am here in your happy little factory attempting to shut down the pumps, I have identified one, shined the spot light on him, close the valve

You think the engineers are always right when they design stuff?? You obviously don't work in the automotive field. :haha:

lol... no ****.
yesterday i was in design review meeting, and found MANY things wrong that the engineers did, form manufacturing process to maint.

I started as a shade tree mechanic, and these are licenced profesional engineers....

ya, engineers are ALWAYS right.

and oil does not have the same lubication properties a greese. Grease in low spead is far superior to oil. and sometimes even at high speed if you use the right stuff (such as EP2)
