    Yet another bleeding brake post

    Okay so read the post in the link. So if I figured it right. Of you blow a brake line, and trip the proportion valve. You can then open a bleeder on the working side of the brakes. To simulate a leak I'm guessing and then causing the proportion valve to trip back? Am I correct in thinking that...

    Manual locking hubs disassembly

    Coming from where we come from rust is every where and options and parts are limited cause everything has just been eaten by it. So I imagine that's what I'll end up doing

    Manual locking hubs disassembly

    Okay guys, a little off topic, but if opened a diff and the gears were rusted. How much rust would u call to much rust? I just opened the 14 bolt rear I had laying around that I intended to use and it's quiet rusted but appears to be only surface rust. The gears look to be good shape otherwise...

    Manual locking hubs disassembly

    Okay so I eventually gave up and loved onto the other side just to see if it was different or of there was something I was missing. Anyway, you could almost say this side fell apart. Everything came off with little to no effort. Was packed full of grease. Took the cap off, outer snap ring, inner...

    Manual locking hubs disassembly

    So your saying once I take out the outer larger snap ring it should just pull out? I've tried everything every put a pullers on it and it won't come off. It sounds freely and there's some spring to it when u push it in and out. I feel like there something simple or technique that im im missing

    Manual locking hubs disassembly

    I removed one on the outer part, everything can turn sererate from the rest of it, there's a little play but nothing seemed to wanna move, I've read some have a "keeper screw" but this one dont seem to, stumped at this point. Maybe you have bang the rotor off from behind?

    Manual locking hubs disassembly

    Does anyone have any experience with dismantling this kind of locking hubs? I wanna change rotors and wheel bearing. But now I'm stumped, there's some play in it but it don't want to budge, I don't know if it just needs force and is being stubborn or there is something I'm not seeing.

    Front and Rear Axle Install

    Right now, both hubs spin freely and are pretty sound. Right now that's all I'm really looking for, so perhaps they will be a temporary fit for the time being until I track down something better. I have another on there that I'm gunna haul the cover off and check

    Front and Rear Axle Install

    The u-joints and ball joints also seem very good, it steers freely and the hubs spin freely once I got the old pads and calipers off. I plan on changing wheel bearings and I have a new steering arm and I need a new steering shock. There is a couple chips out of the ring gear though all the same...

    Front and Rear Axle Install

    So I pulled the cover off the front diff I had and this is what I found. It was completely dry of oil, and some rust. It seems to be only surface rust. Is it any cause for concern or could I just give it all a good cleaning and new oil you think?

    Front and Rear Axle Install

    Thanks for all the info guys. I did notice on my 83 3/4 ton donor truck that the vent from the diff was routed up and clipped to the bottom of the bed. It was something that stood out to me that made a sense. So i was sure to remember to do that aswell.
