I'm thinking that would bind the shaft up. There is less than half an inch in/out movement on the plunger end of the half shaft

Update: I had some local mechanics look it over and they are of the opinion there is a problem within the halfshaft assembly, as some of you had referenced earlier. I havent remove the boots to diagnose, but with all the past issues I have had with this truck, my best bet is to just purchase a...

Halfshafts werent removed from the wheel side

I tried that earlier, still not enough clearance. Frustrating

actually I had to slide it in an inch to get it to where it is, and that's all she would give me actually I had to slide it in an inch to get it to where it is, and that's all she would give me

I'm having what I presume to be rookie issues with re-assembly. I couldn't get enough clearance between the driver side brake rotor and the CV shaft to mount the shaft in place. At the suggestion of fellow member IGM, I went ahead and worked the passenger side and it all went together easily as...

Went ahead and replaced both brake rotors since the old ones were scored and pitted The brake line flare fitting adaptor on the driver side caliper was 80% blocked with whatever whitesh looking thread sealant Uncle Sam used. I pulled it off to clean it up and noticed globs of that same...

no, the output seal is in this photo

Both output seals installed. I wasn't fortunate enough to own the HMMWV special seal driver, but a 2" PVC coupling worked great, and I had one handy. Assembly temporarily halted when the wife hollered chow time.

Got it, thanks

Back on the project- I decided to go ahead and do both sides while I was at it. The driver side that leaked had no O ring or seal, passenger side had a crushed O ring and 2 smaller versions of the replacement seal Please confirm only one of the new blue seals replaces what I removed. I'd...

As a note of interest, there were neither O Rings nor blue star washer on my unit once disassembled. I can only speculate the overdose of silicone was a quick fix field maintenance, and was never followed up by any proper maintenance procedure

Thanks Greg, washer and seal on order

No wiggle, everything is tight. I drained the differential as well, oil looked good and no metal flakes or fibers stuck on the magnet. That's always a good sign

The other day I noticed oil on my left front brake rotor, and got under the truck to inspect ( thinking I had a brake caliper leaking) but it turned the leak was coming from the differential side of the brake rotor. I unbolted the half shaft from the differential flange and oil poured out. Okay...

I repainted this SEE with Behr a few years back. It's been worked hard and the paint has held up well, except on the buckets (as can be expected)

Replaced the wheels and exhaust a while back

Hard top install looks great Will

I replaced my lines with the overkill stuff, just because I was having so much trouble with the system. Hoses should be good for many years to come

Wow, I hate to say it, but this sure sounds similar to the ordeal I had not long ago. I will say this, the final time I bled the system with front end jacked up with tires off the ground-I bled the system per TM, let it sit for 4 hours, then followed the procedure again, then let it rest...
