The rear axle replacement wheel bearings arrived and i have them packed and ready to go. I also got two new inner shim lock rings that were all beat to crap. The spindle nuts were repaired the other day. These will be getting installed tonight. Brake lines have been done but not bled but i...
With all the parts hunted down nothing brings this unit into a specific model make and components put into it - take that for a challenge although we know Manufactured it.
I understand and there might be times temporarially to perform a repair like that.....but i am sure you would not leave it like that and correct it.
The drill chuck thingy was only a broad fyi....but i bet you have seen many folks that did not know that being a machinest....i see you nodding...
March - angle mini grinder that take many 1/4 shaft tool arrangements - one of them is to use 3M scotchbrite 2in and 3in pads. I use the medium and course in most applications. That is what I used. The collet end spindle nut also is the shaft the end seal engages with.

I know one thing - those giving advise of what to do and what to spend your money on and what you want - tell them advisers YOUR taking DONATIONS in cash and you will only consider doing it that way - BUT their donation is non returnable and in no way their name becomes part of the title. See...

Won.t wash down. I have it chained to Debs van.
YUPPER....next couple weeks ya better not blink because some great stuff is going to be coming at you.
There is "detail" work that will need to be done along the way so keep looking close.
Saturday is going to be a busy day - should have the rear all tore down and chase parts and hopefully get a good deal of it from the Master Cylinder to center differential extension rubber line in along with the line to both wheel cylinders - IF I can get the rebuild kits from Napa locally if...
I highly doubt it sits till done hot or cold without a day i do not work on something for it......just ask the mass's here if they think i would let it just sit. Loosing bet.
Dog gone straight it is - gotta be at lease 20 visits in that there heap o stuff. Be sure to order each one and make sure each one fits as I get it also.
Playing with the wire harness in the back room with the AC on till I hear Debs van pull up and then it will disappear. Does that look a...
