Clearance check with depth indicator I made a tool like the military uses out of aluminum. I will remake the pedestals for the stand out of steel, since the aluminum I bought seems to vary with temperature. I will have a machinist mill the steel pedestals to 2.170 for the mean measurement when...

Checking the tools made for the project. This weekend I took the cover of my front axle to verify if my aluminum blocks I made last weekend were going to work prior to disassembling the front hubs. They need to be milled down on the sides to work correctly. The blocks I have are to wide to bolt...

By what I am reading in the TM it appears all the parts are the same.

I was thinking for the seal drivers I could always use 3/4" plywood and cut out the correct size and then use a solid 1"/3" steel dowel center on the top of that to tap the seal in. Most likely I will measure the diameter of the outside of the seals today and pick up some pre-cut metal circles...

Fabricated front axle tools Fabricated up some tools to use on my front axle next weekend. I will try to check the clearance next weekend, and add the correct shims to see if that cures the excess gear noise in the front axle around 30-40 mph when I left off the throttle and the spiders are not...

I was thinking just put it in my chop saw, and cut in half and put the new sleeve between the two pieces and tack weld it back in place. But can also do it the way expeditionnw suggested.

M1078 Front axle hub bearings. Here are the part numbers for the Timken bearings that I received in the kit I bought. I still have not found a cover to modify like Steve, so I may try just using (4) U-joint clamp brackets (modified) to hold the cross T section for the spider gears in place to...

Front Axle hub rebuild parts - 1995 M-1078 Here are the parts I bought for the front axle rebuild. I will post photos of the part numbers for the NAPA bearings later. But the NAPA bearings cost around $160 and the kit on the large auction site was around $65. The socket from Fleet pride was...

Yes, it is 3-7/8"

Thank you for taking the time to draw up the plans for the tool. Since the caps are not readily available, I will have my machinist make the tool for now. Your new method is definitely a more precise way of getting these measurements. I will also try to have something like that made with...

Planetary gear setup tool - clearance check Steve6x6x6 - could you draw up the dimensions for your tool you used for the Planetary gear clearance check? I would like to get one made prior to tearing apart my noisy front axle. A quick sketch would be great if you do not mind.

CTIS parts Do you have a good source to purchase all these items from?

Steve6x6x6 have you ever heard of one of the front axles on the M-1078 being a little noisy around 20-30 mph like a regular differential that has backlash problems or wear? Is this a common issue on the FMTVs? The guy that bought the one I now have drove it from Ft Bragg to Arizona after...
