i dont think anyone noticed this, i sure didnt til now, i never saw how many bolts i was missing in the back of that t-case. i need to get some!! 

[lilbuddy]

I Noticed.... Just didnt say anything. I figured it was for your crossmember and tahts why you left them undone

[kiyul4130]

oh. well nope.  i need to get new bolts. this is rippen around town right now http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=607390 (sillyfab FJ)

hey does anyone know an easy way to pull out those marlin seals in the axle. i have limited tools and im trying to throw my whole front end back over on the new axle so i can start on the rear of my truck.

[Ramrod]

probably a seal puller or cut the axle and push the out from the backside

[Ramrod]

oh and if you get this ready for that trip to reno ill get mine ready adn we can hit moon rocks!

[kiyul4130]

ya i really dont want to have to cut the ends of the housing off. i have a really long piece of wood, perfectly round and it is THE EXACT same size as a toy shaft. i slid it through from one side to the other but it looks as if i try to pound on it, its going to trip the seal. i tried once and it poked through. im by myself so its really hard. i think im going to vegas, im still not sure whats going on but ill keep you updated. im done with school friday so i can really work on my truck a lot.

[kiyul4130]

oh and when i slid the wood all the way through it was easy going in from one seal to the other. im going to be so pissed if the housing isnt bent and its a trashed rim or something......

That would be funny

[kiyul4130]

That would be funny

hell ya it would be. my lucks sucks. actually i dont think it could be a bent rim because it would lean in then out whenever re-parked. hey do you think you could go out and check how many of those little shims are in your axle. the ones below the steering arm to the knuckle and on the bottom of the knuckle? i want to put the right amount in.

[kiyul4130]

ill be back in in a bit. colbys here now and were going to go try. i got pictures ill throw up a bit later. if someone could let me know how many shims they have in there knuckles top and bottom that would be sweet. thanks.  be back in a bit.

[Doof]

why not just order new axle seals for $8 a piece? buy tomorrow get the day after... save time and worry about bending them/ ripping them

i think for the shims it depends on how many you want to run. mine is different then lil buddys, and my buddy matts is different from our and so on...

[Ramrod]

I always just put on 1 thin one and 1 thick one but in reality your supposed to stack them to get the correct bearing preload which if setup right will help fight the death wobble

because i bought these threw them in the night before the round up, broke my truck and its sat ever since so there brand new. and im over trying to get them out because they WILL NOT. one already got ripped.

[kiyul4130]

so here's the most ghetto thing ive ever done to my truck. no where sells just the felts for the knuckles and mine are toast an paying $75 for a whole new kit is out of the question, heres what i did. i walked around the fabric store being the only guy in there trying to find felt. they were all so thin that i had to triple them up. i didnt get jack done today on my truck. callen shot my trunion bearing across the garage at 22mph so its done.  heres some pictures of what i did that sucked. i probably shouldnt even post this cause its so lame. 

[Duffil]

use the fisheye for wheeling/skating/moto/bmx pics.  not making me my whisky on the keyboard trying to look at knuckles.  scared me for a minute.

[Geno]

hahaha, thats awesome.

thats shitty.... good idea on the felt

[kiyul4130]

thats :pokinit:ty.... good idea on the felt

ya it is. those seals are the . no oil dripped out the ball at all. i drove all the way to the con, wheeled all the way through it, drove the truck home and no leaks. one got ripped trying to pull it out. it sucks!!!!

[kiyul4130]

alright, trucks up for sale. $1000. it sucks i hate it. buy now so i can get a scooter to wheel. it would do better.

[Geno]

lol, what did you do?  Give me your dual adapter 

[kiyul4130]

its seriously taken 4 days to put a damn toyota axle back together. i had to make those felts which took to long. then callen trashed my bearing so i got 10 minutes of work into it last night before i stopped and went home, i also had to write a paper. today i got a new bearing and now they dont fit in the races. so i called up marlin and asked about the sizes. sure enough they are all the same but i guess i have to change out the races cause i got nsk bearings which are nicer. so i did all that and the knuckle still sits all weird. im so pissed. i dont want to deal with this truck anymore. it should be all back together in an hr or less with power tools.

Good thing it's NOT a daily driver!!!!

[kiyul4130]

[skipnrocks]
