Our 00 hilux LN167 5L had a very sloppy front wheel, removed free wheel hub etc and found lock nuts and washers were loose and could be removed from axle shaft by hand!
I've got a bearing kit but not sure on sequence of washers nuts etc as some of the stuff I read mentioned having to remove the flat circlip which wasnt necessary and I cant see any reference in the manuals and online to the notched brass nut? On the "bad" side there is a flat washer between the circlip and the brass nut but this is missing on the "good side"??
"hopefully pics will explain better than this!
Passenger side sloppy wheel play
I reattached one nut to make sure the thread was OK, it originally had the 2 nuts and lock washer as required
Drivers side no problems
note there is no washer after the circlip its just part of the axle stub
