Im still procrastinating on the loctite and peening. I guess the thing that makes my head hurt it how can there be .006" of end play if the race is a drive in fit? That means that when you pryed up on the input gear you wouldn't be able to get the end play you needed and the shims wouldn't do...

Well I got everything put back together but just said screw it about the race and left it spining... dumb.dumb.dumb. So itook her for a spin. About six miles or so. When I got back I felt the hub and didn't notice anything but then I felt the half shaft head next to the hub and it was **** hot...

Hey every thanks for the replies. I double checked everything again and I tried multiple races and the all had the same outcome. I tried less shims. Still no change. I made sure the bearings were seated correctly and they are. On this race hole there aren't any swirls or ripples in the metal...

Any one have any input on this? Still looking for info

I'm replacing the bearings and races in my HMMWV and as I'm putting it together I notice that the input gear outer race just drops in. It doesn't seat tightly to anything. I figured once I got the cover on and tight it would keep the race from spinning with the bearing. It doesnt. Torqued to...

Looks like HPG has some http://www.hummerpartsguy.com/search.asp?keyword=Spindle+washer&search=

Thanks dilvoy!! I didnt even think about that

Back when I first brought the beast home I was changing the hub oil and notice one of the hubs had water contamination. I didnt think too much of it and just changed the oil and called it good. After driving around for a while i noticed that the same hub sounded just a touch too loud. So now...

Bravojmc, I actually do like the rock in the hmmwv I think it's pretty cool. Im just getting ready to redo all the bearing and with that I was also considering changing it over to 12k spur and output gear to run the 12k half shafts.. I figured while I was there I'd just replace the spur and...

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking too.. and maybe a new spindle with it? Would the axial load produced by the helical gears cause problems later on like reducing bearing life or other issues?

I'm getting ready to start changing out all the wheel bearings in my hmmwv and was considering changing the hub gears to the helical cut gears. Would this even be possible? Or would I have to get a completely new H1 alpha hub due to them redisigning the hub specifically for a helical gear and...

So far I can't seem to find anything about any door binding issues on the hmmwv.. so here's my problem. I had a two man soft top setup and put hard doors on. The driver side felt really springy like it was binding on something when I tried to close it. I had to slam it pretty good to get it...

Does anyone have any experience with getting the montana off-road title? How long it takes to get it and such? (HMMWV already in my possession) I purchased a title back mid-ish Sept. Gov planet latest updated said the paperwork was sent to Montana Oct 20th. Is this normal ops on length of time...

Does anyone have any tips on removing and replacing the seals on the hard doors? I cant seem to get them removed successfully because they keep pulling apart and am left with a small strip stuck inside the channel. I would also assume putting the new ones in is going to be a blast as well. Any...

Yeah that had me stumped for a good while. It did take me about half a dozen times taking it apart and looking it over to finally figure it out lol. Never thought about electrical grease. Gonna have to pick some of that stuff up. It seems like I'm gonna need to be keeping a few extra "just...
