    Alright just checking. I have a leaking rear hub and a wheel cylinder that needs replaced on another so I'll be doin the same soon, just on a deuce.

    Please tell me you tore down and went through all of the hubs. That ain't something you can squeeking by on.

    If Napa doesn't have those sockets you'll have to find an truck parts shop that has them on the shelf. They won't be cheap, around $70 each.

    For now don't worry about it. It is only one out of many. I had one do the same thing and it is still like that. When you have time drill the center out and use an easy out.

    Yeah you can use it. No rent involved. Or you can just... Leave that M1070 with me... I'll keep it. Lol

    No no, it is only going to Houston. No longer going to Jacksonville at all.

    DO NOT use the cork gaskets. You are wasting your time and will have to do the job again. Just fill the keyway with good grey RTV. Use lots.

    Next time you have a front axle shaft out, look carefully at the u-joint. There are no grease seals on the joints. The joints lube themselves by being forced through the grease. If you pack the knuckle really well and then install the shaft and then turn it by hand you can see plainly how the...

    You can fill from the side. I wouldn't remove the top cover if you don't have to. Socket sizes should be a 4 7/8 and a 4 3/8. No need for a deep socket, just regular 8 POINT axle nut sockets.

    Yeah go ahead and do the transmission. It is just too easy to do it to risk having any problems. I've burned up way too many components in jeeps I've had over the years by thinking " It should be ok, I'll check it later." I've learned my lesson.

    Still pending but it is a go. Ten gallons of gear oil is not going to be enough. Also, keep in mind that a regular deuce hub takes over a pound of grease to pack one hub. I buy my grease in four pound tubs. Red grease. You are going to need a lot of grease and oil.

    Stick a water hose in the hole in the bottom and let it run on low for a few minutes, then remove it. Repeat as needed. You will need to go through all of the hubs though. No getting around that, unless the hubs weren't submerged.

    Better get it out and get those bearings re packed soon. You have a truck to tow for me. Lol

    I'm feeling better now. Probably was just a small stone, I get them often. If you need me to come and get you out just let me know. I could bring my wrecker, but I think my deuce would pull that out. I buried my wrecker to the axles behind my shop and pulled it out sideways from the front end...

    I could come and get you out, but I have to wait for this kidney stone to pass first.
