Here is a quick reference for fastener torque specs.

Space is always a premium, no matter how much floor space you supposed to have.

The nice thing about a CJ5 is that the access cover for the transmission is big enough to where you don't even have to remove the steering wheel to pull the body. Us flat fender guys have a tiny...

You are correct, one bite at a time.

You could almost use three hands to adjust the brakes. I found that a 3/4" Snap on offset boxed wrench, (for having a deep enough off set to clear the backer plate) a ratcheting 7/16" wrench, a pair...

It's good to see you making forward progress. You made a good call in changing out the perches. When in doubt, change it out is a good practice especially when you plan to work your Jeep.

The rebuilders prefer that they order the parts for a couple of reasons;

1) They know what they are getting, (if a bearing or component fails, it is their reputation that is on the line, and they...

The poly bushing is allowing the sleeve to "float" in the bushing. More than likely, yours has been rubbing for long before the poly bushings were drove in. I like the greaseable M38A1 front...

I agree with Bmorgil. Re-arched springs are a quick, get it down the lot fix. The first off road adventure or a few months of on road travels would put you back to where you were. It is worth the...

I'm a grease purge guy. The more grease zerks the better in my opinion. That's how I found out that the original rear axle pinion bearing was eat up on the Heep. I went to grease the rear U-joint...

The shocks are in fact Monroe shocks. I put a set on my Heep a couple of years back from KW, and that's what they were. As Bmorgil said, if your springs are sagging, then by all means invest in new...

There are a few options on where to purchase the service kit, i.e. Autozone or Amazon etc. If the O-rings in the kit are not square enough, stop by your local farm or industrial equipment dealer...

It is a fender shim, but none are called out for the brake master cylinder or the steering gear. It doesn't look like it had been clamped between anything, as Bmorgil said, it's way too clean. Odd...

The lube looks terrible, but the gears look good. In my mind, if you clean out all the gunk, and then turn the pinion yoke, if you don't hear any bearing noise, run it. That won't 100% guarantee...

A combination of heat and the high lifter farm jack will bring your bumper to straight without removing the rivets.

Time flies by in just a blink of an eye. My eldest will be a senior in high school this coming school year. Hard to believe that it seems like just yesterday she was toddling around and eating...

Depending on your intended use, the dust boots on the tie rod ends can be serviceable as is. Just keep the rod end greased and it will keep most of the dirt out. In short I would not tear apart a...

If you have separation in the plastic on your steering wheel, and wish to fix some,(some wheels hold family history and shouldn't be messed with). I use two part metal repair like JB Weld. Clean...

I may need to invest in one of their pullers as well. Thank you for the review!

Bearing races can be removed by running a bead of weld around the inside of the race, but of course it won't help on a bearing unit like your knuckle. The weld works well with an exposed race. ...

Same here. If we were closer to the coast, then you can find dry ice. I use heat because I can direct the flame more accurately then trying to shrink the center shaft with ice. You do take the...

PB Blaster or Kroil, a plumbers propane torch and many cycles, (lube, heat , lube, heat, repeat). apply heat to the steering wheel sleeve without melting the plastic of the steering wheel itself. A...

I've had some carbs that were pretty crusty. I use PB Blaster on sticky spots, and throttle shaft. No harm would come if some ends up down the carb.

I agree 100% with Bmorgil. Cutting corners causes issues almost every time.

The 8 1/2" clutch is what you need. The measurement comes from the actual clutch disk itself, (the friction material that engages the flywheel). The clutch does look to be original from my vantage...
