I am not trying to start a fight so do not shoot me BUT no matter where you go there is most likley gonna be this little thing called a plain view exception. Yes folks that is right, crazy as it may sound, if the cops can see it they can investigate it. It has been used forever, air plane =...
I may be crazy but I believe that both of the spindle nuts have slots for the prongs of the spindle nut socket. As far as I remember the nuts are the same with the exception of the inner nut having a tit on it that fits in a hole on the retaining washer. Check out the link to a pic I posted at...
Mine leaks a little, A simple oil level check every other engine oil change and we are good. I have added approximately 1/2 quart per year for several years now. I believe mine leaks around the output shaft where it bolts to the front drive shaft. For me this option is a lot cheaper that the...
I can not really tell what color they are, one looks orange and the other looks yellow. Here are two pics of the same area on my truck. I have a manual glow plug activation switch, it is the black wire with the new yellow insulated terminal on the upper small stud. I use this to ground the...
Here is a pic of what I am talking about. I am also going to suggest to search google for the Pirate 4x4 axle tech manuals. There is a bunch of info along with part numbers and pics. Should help you out a bunch.
Ok, correct me if I am wrong but you have a M1008 with the Dana 60 front end. If so there should be two nuts and a washer that are threaded onto the spindle. Both of the nuts should be removed with a 4 prong axle nut socket. They can be really tight. To disassemble you would need to remove...
I found a link to spicers web site with part numbers.

They may help with your search. I have ordered spicer joints from Offroad distributors and received good service. I have bought them from many parts places such as Florida powertrain...
Recovery I completly agree and I also own mostly Snap on wih some Mac, Cornwell and Matco mixed in in very small numbers. I have no problem dropping 400.00 on their new impact guns and love the new 80 tooth ratchets. They have a new 80 teeth 1/2 inch drive ratchet that is almost 25 inches long...
I bought the GM bracket, here is a link to what I bought.
14 Bolt Full Floating Disc conversion Kit
The only other thing I can think of is that since I can not torque the bearings at this point, I do not have the correct socket, that the brackets will fit better once the bearings are fully...
The socket I have and tried to use was the Snap on S6146, it has 4 tits. The nut has 6 small holes so I am thinking I would need the S6109A or one like it. The Snap on price is shocking.
The calipers and rotors are from NAPA and they are
Caliper - CAL N4760 & CAL N4759
Rotors - NB 4885677...
I do have some pics, I will post a parts list and try and get some pics up a little later today. I actually have this socket that I have been using, S6146, Socket, Axle Nut, 4-Lug, 1/2" square drive (DANA 60 Series Axles)
It worked ok on the front end, I just repacked the bearings and...
After reading many threads on SS I decided to change from drum to disc in the rear of my 84 M1008. I bought the brackets from DIY4X.com and picked up the rotors and calipers from NAPA. The NAPA stuff was bought for a 1984 K20 front axle. I thought I was good until today when I was installing...
I just took my carrier out and put it back in, inner axle seals were bad and needed to be replaced. I used a prybar and blocks of wood to remove, the rag trick did not work for me. The install was a major pain in the butt. You kind of have to get one side in just a bit and then get the other...
