Hello again folks,
Can someone tell me exactly what I should take off the front of this rig so that I can use the 6 lug wheels? wheels and brakes were mentioned as well as spindles. Are the spindles necessary?
Keep in mind that I will have to swap what ever I take off with what is on my motorhome as we are going to convert this one into a flat deck.

Thanks so much everyone.
I will keep you posted on the progress.

Are there any threads or videos about removing the front spindles and wheels, brakes?

Hello Folks,
First Post.
I picked up a 1985 Toyota Motorhome up here in BC, Canada that has the bad 5 lug rear axle . It has the 22RE engine with 90,000Km.
Luckily I came just across a 1987 Toyota motorhome 58,000 miles that the owners were going to be a rebuild but they gave up on it. It has the 6 lugs axle (see attached pics). It has a different V6 engine.
My questions are:
1) Would the different engine impact the driveshaft or any other connections for the rear axle swap?
2) What measurements should I take to make sure the new axle fits? Is it just the width between the leaf springs?
3) Should I swap out the front axle as well?
1985 5 lugs axle swap to 1987 6 lug full floating axle

Linda, So all I will need to do is change the hub?
No need to change the front brakes or spindle?
