Well every thing back together brakes all adjusted greased up fluids full.... my assistant didn't clean my frig out to bad. And with all complete and a nice sunny day we said " we should take her out...
That statement " jeeps are never done" I think is the quote of the year, should be on a T-shirt.
I had similar experiences with dead spot or hesitation at accelerating. Was a carburetor adjustment...
There it is! I new I saw that somewhere, looked at so many pages through the course of this I lost track. And that the numbers i had in my head just wanted to reread to verify. Thanks for...
Ok thanks. For some reason I thought I read or saw or heard a number for these bolts. And now I cant find or remember where I placed that or found that. And then again I may not have read it. Lol....
Lol. Yes you are correct. Gotta wash that taste out.
Hey another question. Back to axle stuff. Is there a final torque spec for the bolts that hold the backing plate on to flange?
Was curious... saw various parts suppliers sold them, around $80. Thought that was a little pricey. And at that the thing should be simple and work like a charm. My assistant only cost a couple of...
Question about brake line bleeding.
Has anybody out there used the power bleeder ? Was curious if it works? worth the investment? More trouble than worth?
I've bleed a lot of brake lines,...
Yes a big thank you to our veterans.
And thanks to everyone who recognizes and thanks them.
As I'm continuing to put this axle back together when time permits... I just wanted to add a reminder that when installing the axle shafts use the same shim pack as when disassembled but make sure to...
There is a photo album in the family somewhere. I'm gonna try to track it down to get better pics. Pics from the late 70s, you remember those Kodak cameras with the flash bulb you stuck on top?...
Wow! Gave me goosebumps there. Thank you for the compliment.
Yes I would! But you get plenty of practice getting it right when working on these.
Final gear markings.... the paint matches the existing wear marks real close.
A good tip Bob showed me... thin down your paint before applying. Also use a nylon wedge between ring gear and case to...
The +1 was the original. The +4 is the one now installed. Just a note the gear ratio is the same, the reason for switching is due to damage of pinion caused by a hot bearing. Otherwise would have...
Met up with Bob to discuss my axle rebuild in person and have him check my work. Was a pleasure and very informative day. Got a couple birds with one stone. Well I got a thumbs up maybe even an A+ ...
Yes it was a pleasure meeting you Bob! Enjoyed the conversation. Yeah sorry I did not get back with a follow up, sometimes life gets busy. But yes I did not find the problem until I tore it apart. ...
Sure will do that... very interested
I meant fix and feast.... auto correct
Uh! I may start breaking more things to fixed and fast. Lol
I'm ready to schedule an appointment....
Actually a trip up there would be Great. I would love for you to look at it for me. Would definitely make me feel better. Would appreciate it so much. Oh! Did someone say smoker? Sounding...
Thought I would share this info and pics and see what the thoughts are.
This axle redo is uncharted water for me, I will say this. I was pretty unsure if I could or should. Talked with a few shade tree mechanics, did a lot of homework printed out some service manuals....
That is the manual I have on my bench.... others got pushed to floor. Lol
The manual says 200 ft lbs torque for pinion nut. Read and heard conflicting info on slinger. Using it makes sense to me. Then add or remove shims to get that rotational torque around 20 in lbs....
So when setting pinion preload do you use the slinger or not? And the nut should be torqued to what lbs?
