Nuts Thanks, I guess I am going to have to do just that. I did find a section in the repair manual dealing with those 12 bolts and it only says to tighten evenly. I can't believe they don't have a torque spec, as tight means many different things to different people. Thanks for the...

I can not find the torque specifications for the hub where the bearings ride on the front axle (12 3/8s studs). My experience with the manual on CD is less than productive. Does anyone know what its called and where in the manual I can find it Thanks

One picture didn't work so I'll post it again One picture in the original post didn't work so here it is again.

Kirkersville fuel/and meeting stop Had a chance to meet a few Steel Soldiers on their way to Aberdeen. All were doing well and looking forward to the trip. Here are a few pictures of their vehicles for those poor soles, like me, who are unable to go. Have fun everyone.

Thanks again Thanks again guys, back is flaring up again so I will have to take it easy but I can still work on the things that don't require any lifting.

Brake lines Sorry to throw you a curve with the brake line number. Those did fit mine. When I was looking for replacement lines I took the old ones with me. The NAPA counter guy was able to find one pretty quickly. They had a specifications book that the guy looked through to find the...

Thank you Dear Freighttrain and gringeltaub (and everyone else who has given me such good advice over the years): Thank you for giving me back my will to live. I was really dreading having to pull the front axle to reinstall that seal. I sprained my back badly (unable to admit I am getting...

king pin The current bushings are worn and the knuckle is loose. The existing bushings appear to be made with the grooves cut in them. On another note I got the axle seal loose. and it appears that it is to big to come out from the outside. Does this mean that I have to install it from...

I am replacing the king pin bushings on my 35 and I noticed the replacements I got from Memphis do not have a champher in the bushing (grease path) like the original bushings have. I would assume they are the right bushings and with the number of trucks they recondition. Anyone have...

NAPA Part number I put NAPA 4751 brake hoses on the front axle of mine. Right length and look identical to what came off.

Thank you Thank you Mangus for that URL, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

I 70 at Columbus Earlier posts had mentioned stopping in the Columbus area for a meeting place. Just curious as to the date and time. Is there a schedule posted somewhere? Thanks

Very similar to Hella with 80/100W-24V H4 lamps What type/manufacturer are they? Where can you purchase them? I am tired of replacing the old ones on a regular basis. Thanks

Headlights Are those the original style of headlights or the upgrade (Hella?) mentioned in another thread?

Brake hose I put two NAPA 4751 brake hoses on the front of mine. They looked exactly the same and fit just like the ones I took off. So far no problems

I know the grease question might be a bit out out of how full is full but I was initially asking because of this problem. Thanks again for all the help.

Thin Grease For a while I have been plagued with brakes that grab on the right side. I finally got up the nerve (especially after those very detailed explanations of how to do on the site) to tear down the right side and put a new Axel seal, king pin bushings and brake 4 shoes and turn drums...

How Full Thanks to the both of you, I'll print off the lube order

If the outer wheel bearings are lubricated by grease, how full do you fill the differential? To the plug or within xx percent on an inch of the plug? Sorry if this question has been asked before and I missed it. Thanks
