I cant quite tell from the pic. It should be a 25 in a 65' CJ5, it could be a 27 in a late one and ya never know what someone might have slipped in. Look for the casting numbers on the center...

On a roll now! A nice looking pile of parts. Let her watch a Mecum or a Barrett Jackson, show her what yours might bring finished. Well restored old vehicles get top dollar original, not original,...

It is way over-speced for the application. If the bearings are good it will last a long time. You must have had a tough one Jeff. Usually they come apart fairly easy.

If you have a ball joint fork that is close, you could always "open" it up a little.

The "wedge" is the way to get it done. I have an assortment of ball joint separators. I don't remember which one I use but, here is a link to the type of tool we are talking about. I don't know if...

Just an awesome parade this year! The Jeep Fest just keeps getting bigger. 70,000+ people, its been going on for two days and it is still going on today.

peeJ rolls by at the very end of the news...

It is good practice to make sure, that's for sure! I have seen well intended lubricants and sealers cause a lot of problems due to incompatibility. Vaseline is a great assembly lube. It is however...

I have always used the lube I am going to run in the transmission in a squirt can. For lube to "stick" things like the counter shaft bearings and thrust washers in place, Vaseline.

I agree gm! Very cool experience here.

You have a few options. I would first call Silv-o-Lite. They made the pistons originally long ago. They are the only current manufacturer of Willys / Continental L134 pistons. They are now owned by...

But Larry...... you did set her up with a dyno-mite sewing machine!

Don't let him fool you, Larry is surrounded. He lives in harms way. Trouble wont scare him off.

Work from the bottom up. You can remove the u-bolts, remove the centering bolt/pin from the spring pack and remove leafs on the vehicle. Remove the leafs from the shortest first, not from the middle....

Oh man... Two red beauties parked in Larry's barn! There should be room left for a little Red CJ. "And baby makes three!"

Yup talking to you CJ3eb! Keep us posted on the project.

I think its a great transaction. The power train in there was built to handle a lot more than the engine ever dreamed it could deliver. Consequently It will last a long time if maintained. Parts are...

I dare you.... I double dog dare you......

Wow! That's a beauty! Man some detail work there.

Love those 3's. Gear lube comes up once a week. Looking forward to your project!

Its always been the same driver training in a Jeep... In case of emergency, keep driving as long as you can, then hope you are thrown free!

Pics TJ!!! Gotta see this baby.

Speedi sleeves work great. The seals aren't that bad unless someone glued them in.

The leaf package varied a lot depending on what the end use was. Originally the military wanted some capacity....

The real thing the belts provide, is "helping" you stay somewhere near the pedals and the wheel. When you are off roading or maneuvering fast, that can be very challenging. As you pointed out, any...

It looks like the caps were tight. Just in case though, spin it one more time after you torque them.

I would run that. The drive side is good to go. The coast side is a little quirky but not too...

That looks sooo good on the quarter pane! Just like it came down the assembly line with the wheel well all the way back.

Bottom line.... If LarrBeard likes it, its good!
