Gents,
Have stripped everything out, tons of sealant and rust. All scraped, sand and painted. The block and tackle (2X) worked well. The new rubber and snubbers in place. Roof is back on. Getting ready to start re-assembly turret plus weather resistant activities based on comments above (wish...
Have removed the bearing (no existing gaskets!!!) but with a great deal of effort as there was sealant everywhere. Took a while to lift the top due to sealant!! Bearing rotates reasonably well with no dragging. Have lifted the top with block & tackle (at each end). Will drive HMMWV out from...
Thanks

I own a M1025 that is outfitted with a turret. I have removed everything above the hatch cover so it can fit in the garage.
I want to lift the hard top high enough to insert a new seal above the windshield. I am not aware of what seal (if any) is at the rear of the...
Would like to know the weight of the M1025 slantback hardtop with all the turret components removed and with the turret kit intact after disconnecting the main members. Thanks
