I did think of what it might be. When I reassembled the knuckles I greased them so I could make sure to get a lot in there and the kingpin bushings were tight since they were brand new. When I checked for end play the tight bushings and packed in grease could have made it seem like there was...

The vent is fine and driving causes it to leak because the differential moving trows oil on the axle shaft and it migrates down to the seal and runs out. It's leaking from the inner front axle seals. I have a few ideas on things to check. I'm becoming an expert at these axles just trying to stop...

So after all the stuff I did to that front axle, I just noticed today BOTH sides are leaking AGAIN! aua At this point I'm about to just say **** it and let it leak or ditch this POS axle.

Followed this thread and got it all from Pegasus Racing. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/42401-remote-brake-fluid-reservoir.html

I read through those threads and decided to go with the Monroe 66903s. Haven't measured them but they're pretty much the same size as the original shocks, except I think the studs are a little thinner.

I always have it on me unless I'm crawling under the truck. The creek behind me in the picture attracts lots of predators and I have a bunch of animals so its necessary. A mountain lion ate a deer about 20 yards from where I was in the picture too. There's also been skunks that walk by...

Updated. Finished yesterday. Drove it 20 miles today with no problems. I didn't get pics yet but I put in new shocks and it rides WAY better now. I drove it down a really bumpy road near by and it was like night and day compared to the old shocks. They took out the really bad jolting it would...

PM sent.

Erik's had most of the stuff I needed in stock and is in CA so I went with him. I also got a few things off eBay.

Thanks! All the deuces out of GL really should be gone through before they hit the road, especially the brakes. I don't want to drive my M109A3 anymore until I do the same to it because of all the stuff they messed up on my A2. It looks okay from the outside but I still can't be sure.

It's not too hard. Took me a few days the first time I did it. Although this time took longer with doing all the bushings and waiting for parts to get here. The hardest and most time consuming part is the clean up if it hasn't been done recently. After you do it a few times you'll be able to do...

FINALLY DONE! Now to finish the other one. My M109A3 needs this too, but that's gonna happen in the summer. I'm about burned out on doing this for a while.

My buddy's front axle done and mine ready for assembly. That spring was a major PITA to get on. I like these new brake pads because they have a long weld bead at each end. I've seen in another thread how the wheel cylinder can break the weld and bend the top of the pad which causes the brakes to...

Pile of axles and spindles after getting the new bushings reamed. Improvised a press for the kingpin bushings:D New brake pads. All new nuts and lock washers for the studs on the knuckles. All the wheel cylinders had the plain ended springs which caused them all to leak a little and the master...

Been working the past few months on this project and took pictures along the way so I thought I'd post some up. My buddy and I decided it's time to completely overhaul our brake systems. His turned out to be really bad. The soft lines all had cracking and the brake fluid that came out was...
