If you can find a copy of your original 1961 Jeep Service manual, you might find them there. There are some torque specs in the back pages (Section U p275) of the -R6 reprinted Universal Manual. You...
I have to agree. Once you get going, you cant beat taking the tub off. Everything becomes very accessible. Of course once you pull that trigger, its hard to stop. The next thing you know you have it...
If its high enough in the air to get it out with the bell housing on, it should be a piece of cake. Just unbolt the cross member from the frame and drop it down a few inches. Take the shifters off...
We have discussed this in a few posts, most of us feel it is best and easiest to remove the transmission from the bell housing with the transfer case and cross member as a unit. The only trick is to...
All over it 56' those are the facts! Indeed test1238, it sounds like an open differential behaving as it was designed. I attached 3 links below that are surely more information than anyone wants! The...
My drums did not have the holes for the feeler gauges. Some do and some don't have those slots. With those its the old "adjust them till they just start to drag and back them off just a touch" method...
Here are some links that might help on the brakes.

It is moving along! Its a regular Genesis Project putting these things back together. You are going to love wheeling around in something you brought back.
The supply situation is hit and miss for sure. We have been waiting months for parts for a performance engine build on a Bronco. Everything seems to be on a build it when they order it system. So...
You have to go at it a little differently. Seal manufacturers use and change materials and designs from time to time. It is possible the seal dimensions are not the same due to different press...
If you have 100# on it and there is no rotational torque, you are correct that you should have some at this point. I would remove some shims and try again. Go slowly on the nut torque, use the old...
By poly bushings do you mean they are not the original black rubber? If not someone has put in some aftermarket bushings. In any case I think gm has you going in the right direction. Something isn't...
Usually in the long run, you will be better off with new springs. By the time you replace the bushings, straps and insulators and pay for the re-arch, you could have bought a new set with new steel....
Always put some gear oil on the bearings first. For lube any good brand GL5 hypoid axle lube will get the job done. A 75w-90 will do fine.
That will work. It is important to apply sufficient torque to compress the shim pack. The nut can take a lot of torque. Get it up over 200# and it is fine on the 25 and the 44.
I use a yoke...
Dont try to drive the seal in from the axle tube.
Driving the seal in through the axle tube without damaging the seal guide pressed into the tube is nearly impossible. That is why the tool is...
Definitely use the new technology. There really isn't any comparison. The modern seals are way better. As Larry is eluding to, always try to stick to new sealed up inventory if you can.
Great news...
Nice catch test1328! I just went back and clarified that in the Tech Section.
The cap bolts go through the housing on the model 25, they need sealant. Make sure it is a non hardening.
The "trick" is in the tool. I have made one in a pinch with two large sockets the diameter of the seals, and a piece of all thread, washers and nuts.

It sounds perfect, as long as it is smooth. If you are able to assemble it with no trouble, in particular getting the snap rings on, it should be fine. The joint should move smoothly and may or may...
Jeff, I hate to hear anyone having trouble. As you are eluding to however we have come a long way. I have had my "Old School Eye's" opened more than once by what our modern advancements in...
OK gm, your a process guy... what you are really saying is, an occasional maintenance inspection is very important!
Nowadays you cant beat the HIGH Quality sealed U-Joints. Properly installed they will go a long time. The nature of the seals in a greasable u-joint, have to allow grease to "purge" past the seals...
Yes the 5-260X is what you need for the model 25/27. Sorry about that, the 5-760X is for the model 30/44.
