    Front hub spindle nut tool

    I would assume so and yes it needs to be the seven inch to reach in over the long spindle. Yea seen where OP's just added more length to a standard 1913.

    M-817 4WD Operation

    When the transmission is shifted from reverse to neutral the reverse sprag switches to forward sprag and any forward gear you pick. That is why you can not use neutral to back / coast down a hill because it is in forward sprag. Air leaking can also be the transfer case air cylinder preformed...

    replacing steering axle boot with zipper

    Have the hubs been serviced / bearings repacked buy you or anytime in the near past? If not then I like to do a hub service and replace the boot non zipper then.

    3D Printed Tool for Hub Shimming/Setup

    I did all six of my hubs over a year ago and what I did just for smitts and giggles was rotated one hub around and checked every gear at the six o'clock position. Seemed to be the close to specs on every gear so I did it just on that one. With a cut metal hub or your printed one at least the...

    3D Printed Tool for Hub Shimming/Setup

    Yes four point clamping would seem to be the best in this case. The O rings seem to be the only thing that really holds the cross from the metal to metal contact when it is seated into the hub. When we use the cut off metal cap it for sure crushes them down and we get the metal to metal that we...

    3D Printed Tool for Hub Shimming/Setup

    No gaskets just the cross O rings. If we were to remove the O rings we might be able to get away with just a top cap and bottom cap to hold the cross in if the plastic is hard enough. As per Steve's advice we place the cross with one set of gears horizontal and the other vertical then we are...

    3D Printed Tool for Hub Shimming/Setup

    Looks like a good plan. Don't know if you plan to design it with all the mounting holes but if it is strong enough then it would seem like we would only need the eight to hold in the cross and gears. Believe when setting up the hub we could remove the cross O rings for the set up and replace...

    Injector nozzles, 1 vs 2-hole which do i want?

    I said five hole but they were four hole and have not seen a post about it. Seems like it would be great atomization. Did anyone see the video of the guy the ran his Deuce injector pressure on the tester up to 5k? Talk about atomization it made a fog that hung in the air.

    Essential Tools to have for an FMTV? Add your .02

    I take care of my Precision Instruments split beam and it shows 4% no where close to +/- 35%. This is not a cheap beam torque wrench and I trust it. I do ad couple of drops of oil to the threads as the manufacture recommends. Your truck as always do what you think is best. Myself when using my...

    Essential Tools to have for an FMTV? Add your .02

    Problem looks like the lug nut has to be torqued the first time to the right specs with a torque wrench. What if the lug nut was never torqued right the first time. Tried and true is the correct torque wrench in my .02

    Essential Tools to have for an FMTV? Add your .02

    The cost of the tool is high and with the Milwaukee M18 fuel you can use the One-Key and have it set real close to the torque specs of the lug nuts. I use my Milwaukee M18 and then double check with my one inch drive Precision beam torque wrench and it is real close to the numbers.

    For doing the lug nuts or using the U joint / drive shaft removal tool and everything else get the 3/4 inch drive Milwaukee M18 fuel.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I pushed back 300 feet of old rotten wood and lots of shavings to the edge of my property line with a track skid steer. Then used the 1088 as a roller and smashed the stuff to flatten it out. Did a great job by the way.

    Brake Not Bleeding off Pressure

    Well as for the axles yes I do pull them to do the hub bearings. I don't know if Dr. Stephen Vincent Strange could pull off that magic but will to let him try. As for the major brake adjustment I don't pull the axles just spin the tire. What I do also is back off the jam nut all the way off the...
