grease points?

Does anyone have a diagram for the location of the grease nipples for the 4x4 Hiace?
Or even... How many I should be looking for?

Thanks.

i can only suggest that the running gear will be similar to th hilux you could try looking on this site to see if it helps i have pasted it elsewhere in the forum cos info on these things is scarce.good luck http://www.toyotasurf.asn.au/techsite/index.htm

not much applicable on that site...

Anybody ever lube thier van? Give me the number of nipples and I'll keep looking to find them...

Here's a tip - There are blanking bolts on the top of the front wishbones, remove them and replace with grease nipples - M6 thread I think. Grease them before your MOT - the wish bones cost a fortune so regular lubrication should save money in the long run.

OK, so far I have found 5 grease nipples.

1+1 just in and in front of the front tire.


1+1 behind the front tire (had to take them off to get the grease gun on it.


And one on the front butterfly on the middle axel before the rear differential (muffler in background).

Yours, in the pictures, obviously have the nipples on,mine didn't.
The wishbones from Toyota cost a fortune - on the internet can be 1/3 of the price - make sure you get the right part number if you need to replace them.

Thanks for posting pics.. I am sure that sort of info will help loads.

on the top (second image) but not on the bottom. The boot seems empty but I'm not sure how to get grease in there...?

Anybody else know of other grease points? In a couple weeks the "monsoon" will hit and the nice weather will be gone. I don't have a shop so I'd like to get this done soon.

Cheers.
