All of mine were finger tight when I opened it up. I was able to get the 20 on most of them and not have to back off one spline. Sure seems like it should be tighter. I did notice on one of the outer bearings it looked like the bearing was spinning on the spindle because of not being seated...

Just about rapping it up and once again thanks to NDT getting me the last thrust washer that was left out. I have been using the O rings for the cross that came in the two kits. Needed two more sets so I used my Hyd. kit and #913 looked the best fit. I know it was sealed with lots of silicone...

Got one side of the milked axle done with all new bearings and hub gearing. Here on the cross you can see where water made it on both sides of the CTIS seals trashing both side bearings and gears. Even had rust on the hub shim. Problem if you get water on the inner bearing you will not know till...

No need to go off road with my tractor trailer grossing 36k as of yet. Have plenty of other MV's to get stuck with or tear up also getting rid of the inner grease bearing so both bearings are oil floating. Also my CTIS system was not working and I changed out the MTV rims for new combats I had...

Yea if I want to get rid off all CTIS lines then I will remove the rubber lines and plug up the back side line/hole. For right now I can leave the rubber line and not worry about the spindle hole just the wheel hub so I don't loose gear oil.

Thought it was the hub not the spindle we had to do. I left the CTIS hose on the back side of the axle housing. I will remove it and plug up to. Removed the hub line and the little fitting now to find the right size plug for the hub.

OK digging in to the rear that someone milked and it does not look good. Outer bearing and race looks ok but the inner is trashed. So new bearing and race for this side and bought two sets incase the other side is the same way. Had to drive out the CTIS seals to get to the inner race and I am...

Seth I got it off Ebay for 30 bucks and got lucky it was for the inner hub seal. You most likely can do it with out the driver as the seal is easy to get to because the drum is not in the way of hammering. You can see the hub is well open to work that seal. I am just anial and have to have...

OK had the gears a little to loose and they still were a little noisy so back apart. Got the new inner hub seals and had the seal driver so lets do the inner seal right this time. The hub did seat on the seal I left in there like Steve said but in the immortal words of Thumper. ( Do it nice or...

No your not missing anything. Just bothered Steve 6X6x6 again and he said I was ok as the way the seal works. The way he described it the seal rubber does not run around the spindle the way most do. The seal spins inside of its self and the rubber on the spindle stays put. Looks like I might...

I know it does not make sense. On both sides of the axle the inner seal stayed on the spindle with the locking ring. The seal did not even spin. I tried to ease one off but I would have damage it and the seal. The TM does show the hub seal in the hub and says to remove it. Nothing about that...

If you read post 6 again I said the inner seal is held on the spindle with a steel retainer. Here you can see in the pic the steel retainer. So there would be no way to put the steel retainer on after the hub and bearing. I don't know if all FMTV's are this way but that's what I found on mine.

No the way the inner seal is set up it installed on mine it is held in place by a steel ring on the spindle. Yes on 5 ton 809 and 939 series it is. Here I got the groovy cool tool Steve showed use how to make and I had a damage cap. It took four tries to get the correct shims in but believe I...

I cleaned the hub face and cross slots with a scotch bright pad and then repacked bearing. I went with extra grease in the hub area and race.

Well being Knee deep it was silly not to go all the way to my neck. Good thing as the inner bearing had old and very little grease. I am starting to warm up to the FMTV as this sure is going easy with the way the drum and stuff is easy to get apart. The pic show how the inner hub seal is held on...

Yea think this is where my noise was coming from. No CTIS, I will just stay on road and out of the sugar sand. I chose not to go all the way in and just check the outside gearing. That's why I left the tire on to save time and my back. Next time I will repack inner wheel bearings or just remove...

First of all why do the let someone that does not know what there doing work on the axles. Thanks to Steve I started digging into the front end. Right side was looking ok but drivers side had fine metallic tint to the oil. Here I found the so called mechanic left out the thrust bearing washer...
