Re: Project; Divorce Therapy ( 72 SWB 4x4 )
So a little more progress. Got that stubborn pinion nut off but not with out a fight. I made up a yoke wrench and use a 1/2 impact ( 1000 ft lbs of torque )
and it still didn't budge ! In-fact it broke my 1st yoke wrench and I had to make a stronger one, but in the end I ended up drilling and splitting the nut in two and pealed it off ! I also salvaged the pinion bears & shim to use for mock-up. I'll hone out the inner bearing race so it will slip on the pinion shaft to make it much easier to get the shims & gear contact correct. Then press on the new bearings.
