Topic: destroyed 3rd member

[boggerunner]

so today i was gonna start gettin my 3member ready for some 4.88 gears and the pin in the middle was shattered in the lockrite so much, that the carier swelled up and i cant get my 4.88's off, the locker survived without a scratch, so i cut the carrier in half, any suggestions about getting the ring gear off the carrier?

Put it in the oven.  Try to get the ring gear to heat up and expand a bit.  That is also a good trick for getting the gear on if it is a little tight.  Put it in a pan first...and clean very well with something non flamable or your house will have the lovely aroma of cooked gear oil.

i dont think its gonna work, the case where the main carrier pis went through is all stretched out about a 1/8 or an inch on each side, im gonna have to run the plasma cutter like a surgeon tomorrow at work, and hopefully i wont cut the gears at all

A big hammer.  You might want to replace all the stuff anyways after what it went through for reliability.

brand new gears on an old 3rd member, gears have one wheeling trip on them, and the center pin popped and swelled the housing, i definantly wanna keep my brand new 4.88's and lockrite

i just replaced the clutch and master cylender, and a used workin slave cylender, but i think the slave is not pushing out far enough, so imma replace that with a new one tomorrow, and to think i replaced a brand new clutch for nothing tonight, im gettin tired of this crap, im about ready to sell the 4runner

Does the clutch pedal have an adjuster behind it and before it goes into the cylinder?  That's how I adjust the one on my pissan.

[boggerunner [OP]]

well i fixed it, i made a new piece for tha slave cylender that was about 1/2 inch longer, and it works just fine, now i need to warrenty my new trashed 4.88's for some new ones and im set

[jimbo74]

the clutch pedal on my toyota has a little adjsuter behind the pedal.... i moved this a little bit when i did my clutch and its worked awesome since

[boggerunner [OP]]

the adjuster is maxxed out, and i just used a longer rod on the slave, dont know why it needed it, but the problem is solved now
