    Starter motor loosens recurrently - M1009 / Chevrolet Blazer K5 6,2 Diesel

    I have had to shim a few CUCV starters. But not many. Early on the first CUCV's I bought many were missing the support brackets and a few had broken starter bolts. I used to remove the solenoid and measure the engagement of the gear into the ring gear/flexplate. Then I learned a lot about...

    6.2 Lift Pump Pushrod Seized

    The 2 bolts holding the pump thru the cover plate to the block are 7/16" hex head bolts. An 11mm socket works also. I prefer a 6-point socket. Good Luck.

    6.2 Lift Pump Pushrod Seized

    Did you remove the cover plate that is attached to the block by 2 M6 hex head bolts. The bolts have 10mm heads and once the cover plate is removed you just apply some wheel bearing grease onto the push rod and stuff it back up in there. that will hold it up in place till you are able to get the...

    The old yoke was wound with grass and needed a new seal anyway. Taking the axle out makes it easier to do and install the new leaf springs. Have a Great Week and Be Safe.

    I removed the rear axle and the yoke flange. It was easy. The hardest part was getting the old rubber bushings from the shackles. I done it with my bell joint press and a cone socket. Used to burn them out and hate the mess and smell. Second hardest was the brake line to the frame connection...

    After giving it, some thought I think I am just going to remove the rear axle and do all the work out from under the vehicle. I will just cut the hydraulic brake line and remove the E brake cables and backing plates. It seems a lot more comfortable and safer than working completely under there...

    I removed the axle u bolts and leaf springs from the rear axle. I used the brass brush on the drill and cleaned and lubed the threads Good news was the gears were good in the rear. I pulled the axles and called it a day. I will post more progress as it happens. I started work at 0500...

    Well I knew something was messed up when I seen the gap in the u joint straps to the yoke. I will change the yoke and the yoke seal. This why you clean the threads and run a thread chaser thru the yoke. 1 bolt is broken off and it was way too tight.

    M1009 Fuel lift pump to fuel filter hard line replacement

    It is a flared line. Are you in a big hurry for this line? I maybe have one. Maybe. I do if I can find it. I have had them rattle to pieces before from not being secure in the clamps to the block up front.

    All good things must come to an end, just like the CUCV repairs that never end they just keep going and going. You know where I”m going. I hope you had a successful day. I feel like I did.

    I raced with the daylight and won. It was a close match. Left fender apron is in. Questionable battery trays. We will see approach and use extreme caution. The holes were placed in the aprons with 000 buck shot. Not by me.
