The nuts are 1 3/16". The top is captive, so you don't need to hold that . Easiest way is to use a couple extensions from below and hit with your impact gun. Installing on the Drivers side If you have an A1R with the rear bushing. Removing that might be nessesary. Gives you a little extra...

@IronhorseTX and I got after some cab bushings this weekend. Both our trucks were riding on rubber crumbs... Passenger side.. about 10 minutes. A little more than an hour on the drivers side.. After we figured out the tricks. Definitely helps to have two people, and a 8' pry bar.

Been busy getting a bunch of things in order (brakes, eco hubs, etc.) and finally getting around to troubleshooting CTIS. CTIS has not worked since i got the truck. No lights on the ECU. I followed the ETM (A1R truck) through the troubleshooting steps. Before I go moving wires around... I...

Does anyone have the P/mile setting needed for EcoHubs on the C7? Is it just 62618/2 =31,309? Anything need to change on the tach calibration?

I have some. When I bought new canisters they came pre caged. With an extra cage bolt in the holster. I’ve got extras. Shoot me a PM and I can send out Thursday or Friday. Edit: damn Tapatalk pro. Keeps adding crazy emoji code.

I capped mine in the back. It’s a check valve or something that prevents the air over hydraulic from working when the parking brake is not set. Safety thing. I just traced all the way to the back. Grabbed a plug from Home Depot and decided I’ll mess with the rest. Later. If ever. It’s deleted.

I think i solved the mystery of the front brake wedge. Upon further review... it looks like the fronts use the same wedge assembly as the rears. 24P doesn't mention it. Appendix H hints at it.. Dissaseembly seems to confirm, that it is the same wedge as the rears, just slips into a yoke.

Well....I went 6 for 6 on rusted out wedge springs. The two front wedge assemblies were also rusted and broke while unscrewing the chambers. Unfortunately, The 24P does not list a part number for the front brake wedge assembly. (It is listed as part #5 for the rear, but obviously...

You guys are awesome! Thank you. I really like that setup GeneralDisorder...

Update.. I gathered all the parts and got everything back together.. I'm onto the adjusting the brake shoes part. Reading the ETM and watching and rewatching Endless Adventures youtube video. On the A1R..we have these fancy ABS wheel sensors...On the rear canister, the ABS sensor is in the...

Old thread. I know. But still relevant. Can a torque multiplier be used to install the lugs? Or just remove? My torque only goes up to 325 ft lbs. Wet/dry? I never knew there was a difference. Do I use compound on the lugs or not? If it’s 60%. does that mean i tighten to 270 ft lbs with anti...

The ones that are on that came off my truck, 07 a1r, look like this. The ones I find on eBay are more like this. A different style. I definitely don't want to downgrade. Thanks...

Which ones @GeneralDisorder ? I have an A1R now... I assume they are the ones you are referring to? I haven't got the front yet, looking like the 4 rear ones are all about the same condition... I know i shouldn't take apart the parking brake side (spring goes boom). What about the other side...

I'm guessing new brake chambers, or are these rebuildable?

This is a great resource and what I’m following.

ECO hub install.. Turned into CTIS and bearing seals.. Turned into brakes.... What a surprise I found. Looking like Private Parts skipped the LO chapter!? :oops: Whats the best source for components? Lots of broken springs... Rust everywhere... Whats the best way to determine if the 'guts'...

A good friends recommendation. He used it on his axles for other vehicles and had good success. So I gave it a try. :). It’s expensive though.

Got after it this weekend. Did rear hub service and ECO hub install. Inner bearing service and seal, CTIS seals, and ECO hubs. I used anaerobic RTV instead of the specified grey... Things I learned today. - check the hard air lines on the hub. when i got my truck there were no ctis...

Managed to get a lot done this weekend. - fenders, lights and reflectors removed. Fun little surprise on the tail lights. :rolleyes: - all the HUKs removed for bed removal. side mounted cut off wheel is the right tool for this job. - side project on the dodge. Brakes. - side project oil change...

Hi IronhorseTX Also a new A1R owner in DF/W. M1078 I’m two months in and have learned a ton. The members here have a tremendous amount of knowledge and are extremely patient with the newbies. :) I’m in the process of converting into our new overland rig as well. Going through mechanical...
