mjotrainbrain Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Why monthly? My manual says nothing about that. I don't know why, just what the manual says. Mine's a Rough Country. Can't remember exactly what it says without looking, but it's something like disengage clutch and pull out 5ft, then engage clutch and spool out 15ft, then spool in 20ft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrelcocko Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Changed the front pads. Looked like there was still a fair bit left on them, but when compared to the new ones they were waaaaaay down. Only had to fight one stuck slide pin. However, I did notice that one of the camber bolts was sheared off, which is 'interesting' considering I just got an alignment a couple weeks ago and haven't inspected super thoroughly since...hmm...Gonna do the same this coming weekend.

Charlie_Brown Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Why monthly? My manual says nothing about that. Monthly to keep fears properly lubed and ready to go. Too much sitting around is bad for the motor and gears 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citron Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Noticed that both the Titan and wd21 are leaking gear oil from the front diff. The pathy looks like it is coming from the drain plug, but it is as tight as possible, so I am going to spray it off with brake kleen and see if the drip comes back. Ordered a pinion seal for the Titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Brown Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Primed and painted the spindle so it can be nice and pretty hidden behind the tire lol. Pointless but whatever, looks good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuong Nguyen Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Got the crank in and got some measurements for the bearings. Times like this I wished I had a bore gauge. Rods look good but I'm concerned about the mains. 1 and 4 are within range loose specifically 0.051 but 2 and 3 are out at 0.078 limit is 0.090 so I'm good in that aspect. I'm wondering if it's because I'm not getting a good torque reading with me doing it upside down. Also number 4 bearings were stuck (snug fit) to the crank when I removed it.

RCWD21 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Got some drop down brackets for my e-brake fabbed up and installed, they're not pretty but they'll do the job just fine. Now I have a functioning e-brake again, next up is trimming the exhaust, rebuilding the front calipers, and leveling off the front end Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_Brown Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Replaced upper balljoint on passenger side and clearcoated spindle. Seperated tie rod and began disassembly of the hub so I can torque the balljoint down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slartibartfast Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 New swaybar links on the front. Old bushings didn't look too bad but had probably lost most of their flexibility over the years, and both bolts had worn maybe 1/3 of the way through on the LCAs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie_Brown Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Installed idler arm brace, took off brake pad assembly after messing with frozed bolts and snapped my only Alan wrench socket I had of correct size turning out the seized bolts to the &^%*ing hub. Got all but two free. Last of clear coating on spindle done so control arm should be going on soon. Or in short I fought bolts till they broke my tools leaving me dead for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
