I'm dealing with a dodgy South American Mechanic. Clearly demented since he's about 40 and he can't even speak english!
However, I need him to attack the rear diff, to do which he has to remove the rear hubs.
To take off a hub, you need to slacken off the handbrake.
This particular genius is telling me that he can't remember why, but he is sure that the computer will have to be reset afterwards, and so because of that he won't take the hub off. I've told him to do it and sod the consequences, but he just goes all latino on me and it doesn't get done.
It does not have an electonic handbrake. In fact, so far as I can see, it has no electronics to the rear hubs or diff at all.
Does anyone have any clue what he might be talking about? And don't say take it to a main dealer, it just doesn't work that way, certainly not ouside the city.
Any thoughts, even wild random ones, very welcome. Because right now the damn thing is broken down in the middle of nowhere and the only bloke within 50 miles with a spanner and a hammer is not helping matters.
p.s. its not a Landcruiser, its a 4Runner, but its almost the same thing, and I have no idea what the engine size is other than its petrol and big.
