Also good for mounting the small swing out barbeque grill you find on sailboats. [thumbzup]

Nice to know. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything.

I purchased a DMC AF8 crimper and searched threads to find the best "turret" to used with Packard connectors. Does anyone know the best turret number for the job?

I have been trying to find information in the TM's on servicing my front axle u-joints (see attachment). My hubs had some oil and water and I have serviced or replaced everything else but need to do the u-joints. Any pointers?

My Fastenal always breaks bulk packages for me. I just it is just the local operator.

I am confused. Fastenal is too expensive but they provide quality product, good service and good distribution locations. Maybe they should move overseas. :rolleyes:

Might want to call Lynn at Militarytrucks.com in Liberty Hill.

Bonjour, good to have you with us.

I used Fastenal instead of TSC because I wanted fine thread Grade 8's.

Yea, cleanup is a real bear. I think I now own stock in Bounty paper towels and CRC brake cleaner. In the end I will feel comfortable driving my grandkids knowing the job was done right. :-D

While working on my front axle servicing and boot change, I wanted to pass on a tip I received from an old (and I do mean old) mechanic friend of mine. When it came time to remove the tie rod from the steering knuckles, I removed the cotter pin and castle nut and reversed the castle nut but did...

Clay, why not just buy a 1/2" to 3/4" adapter for your socket wrench. It is cheaper and you will need it eventually.

Another question. Actually, I have many but let's concentrate on one. My axle u-joint is different from the axle photos in Banshee's Step X Step. What's up with this?

Recovry4X4, I am glad you brought up the point about double cleaning and hand washing. I cleaned them so good I scrambled eggs in the steering knuckle this morning. I feel like Felix Unger.

You notice I did say I have downloaded mine......:beer:

Thanks for the replies. Can you adjust the bearing preload with the wheel off or does it have to be on the hub? Also, what is the best sealant to used between the deflector and the spindle?

I have download all the TM's I think I will need to work on my deuce. But, are we going to suspend the "refer to the TM's" comments until the resources section gets back on line?

The second is for the transfer case and allows you to service the breather.

I started my front axle service using Banshee365's PDF and everything went south in a hurry. I drained the differential and oil was the consistency of pancake batter. It was not brown so I am not sure about water. Once I removed the wheel hub I knew I was in trouble. There was oil contaminated...

Me too. I bought a whistle and when I start to feel inadequate, I just blow it.:beer:
