While I wait for the dog teeth to be delivered, I thought I would change the seals (front and rear) I built a tool for my wheel puller - have turned it to about 80 ft/lbs, kinda worried to crank it another turn,,,,,, I am using penetrating oil on the shaft,,,,,,,,,what next? Heat? Incantations? Ideas? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) with the mapp torch. Two things...
1) when the hub does pop off, make sure you have a spotter in case the woodruff key launches with it. It's a super tiny crescent shaped piece of metal that goes into a notch in the crankshaft and the hub to "key" it. You can also spread a white sheet under the work area so it will be easier to find when it (inevitably) hits the floor. 2) I've had a lot of luck with the washer method of removing the hub... get 3 x very thick washers (like the ones used in the rear trans mounts) or small pieces of 10 ga. steel and put them under the ears, between the bottom of the bolt and the case. Screw the bolts in so that they're sandwiching the metal between the bolts and the case. Alternately tighten the bolts, leveraging against the metal until the hub pops off. Make sure the bolts are hitting just the metal, not the case. And that they're not bending the washers. Thicker the better. PS. Be prepared...When it does pop, it WILL scare you! |
