My fun getting the t-bar bolt off... what a [censored]... it moved 1/2"... then snapped.. meh no biggie.


here is everything in a manual hub

It's really easy to rebuild, all you need it a set of needlenose pliers and a snap ring plier... new parts needed are the two gaskets and o-ring seal.. make sure not to loose the ball bearing and spring when you are cleaning everything! Will take pics of assembly when i get to it...

Just waiting for a few more parts, going to buffalo next weekend to pick up my rockauto order... wow is stuff alot cheaper in the states... i'm replacing everything basically, lol.... except for pitman arm and idler (which i will when i can afford the TotalChaos one..) I'm buying all my parts from rockauto and autopartsway.ca... except of course for dealer only items. Don't even bother asking the dealer for prices on most parts, they are insane. These two companies carry a vast amount of OEM parts anyways, but for 1/2 to 1/5 the cost... i'm not going to worry....

Got all my front end parts in... still moving slowly...

Cutting the UCA to fit the BJ spacer

All i did was make two slits in the arm about 1/2" deep, then used vice grips like a "can opener" until it all fit. Easy.

Pressed the new UCA bushing in, since it's longer than the sleeve, i had to use the trusty 54mm socket for proper clearance, see it's not just for axle nuts!


lastly, burning the sleeves out of the old bushings... wd40 and a propane torch does the trick...
