Update: So that previous post was a complete lie. This summer I was a complete bum and every time I got a good opportunity to work on the Jeep, I decided it would be more fun to take it for a spin. With summer coming to a close, school back in session, and the cold weather coming soon I knew I...

I have heard not to use moly grease in the GAA applications because GAA is lithium based. I just planned on using my Lucas Red and Tacky. It is good grease and has served me well in the past. The new wheel bearing is packed in light cosmolene so I will clean it with gas as you suggested. When I...

Clinto, it is an awesome thing and it gets better every year. When I was a kid it really did not start until the weekend but now it is packed every night. People just line up in chairs for about 5 miles and the cars just keep circling around. The folks out there really seemed to like my jeep...

I made significant progress tonight. My universal hub puller arrived in the mail from Ebay so I got to work. I spent most of the night just soaking up paper towels with old axle grease. The old outer seal had definitely been bad for some time so years of grease had accumulated in the drums...

At least that would make one vehicle slower than my Jeep! You could bring that nice looking M715 out tomorrow night. I will be out (hopefully), sporting a fresh new wheel bearing.

It was a great night out on Woodward. The ol A1 got lots of attentions. I also had my wife and puppy riding shotgun and they both had a great time. I saw a bobbed M813 and a heavily modded M37 but that was it. We need to get some more OD pride out there!

It's that time of year again and all of the old cars out out on M1. I plan on having my M38A1 out most nights this week to do some cruising and I was wondering if anybody wants to meet up and arrange a nice OD convoy going up and down woodward. I saw a couple old Jeeps out last night but nothing...

I have the drum off now. I am just trying to locate the suitable puller for the hub. I will probably just buy one off ebay.

That is pure ****ography. Our members in the UK will not be able to view this with their country's filters. That is a great looking Mutt. Edit: Apparently the filters on this website do not allow one to spell out the name for adult rated content. That just helps to make my post a little ironic.

I am going to clean everything up and check for leaks but I think it is just axel grease that had pushed past bad seals. That's probably why the bearing failed too. Does anybody have a good line on a place to rent suitable puller for the hub? I planned on getting one from oriellys but it did not...

Success! In a last ditch effort before drilling out the old screw I went out and got a bigger and stronger flat head to put on my impact. When I used the impact that you hit with a hammer it did nothing but when I broke out the pneumatic driver and turned up the pressure it broke them free. Upon...

Well I broke the flathead on the impact so I guess it is time to get some new bolts and drill out the old ones. What size bit should I use and is it ok to use generic sized bolts or do have have to order specific ones for the jeep? Thanks

I have heard the stories about the hub but right now I am still fighting the screws. I got home from work and tried heat and the chisel for about a half hour with no results. I am going to try to get my hands on an impact driver and see how that goes.

I am having the same problem with the rear drum on my A1. I am trying to get to the rear hub to replace it but I can not get these bolts out to save my life. I have been hitting them with PB Blaster for a week and a half. I have tried tapping, scraping paint and rust off, and heating with a blow...

Oh how I envy people that have their Jeeps so nice that they worry about the historic accuracy of their nuts and bolts. One day, one day that will be me. That is if the MV hobby does not drive me into bankruptcy first.

It sounds like you have a really good find there. It is great that you got to it before bubba did. I have a few of his "repairs" on mine which I will have to sort out over the next few years. $$

http://www.surplusjeep.com/M38A1/M38A1_Lead_Page.htm They have everything listed on the site but they may not have it in stock. I have worked with these guys before and they are really nice and good to work with, fair on price too. The only problem is that they work on California time. If it is...

Wow it still has the right carb, intake, and oil filter. That is a good sign that the engine has not been messed around with too much. If it is still 24V that is about $1000 in wiring alone that you just saved yourself. It looks like a great find!

Thanks, that's awesome. I will probably crack into it in the next couple of weeks. I have a rough week ahead of me so I really have to turn up my "give a crap" and stay of steel soldiers. Luckily, I do not have to take it all the way down. I just want to replace the seals. Is there anything else...

Clinto - I am going to use the three-legged hub puller from oriellys (after bathing in pb blaster once a day for a week or so) and pray that it does not break. Matt - Would you happen to have a link to the specific video you used? Thanks
