Thats what I needed. Thanks for the help. Gump

I assume you are referencing the knuckle centering SST. If the knuckles are properly aligned now, ie its not leaking fluid from the transfer case, you wont need the SST. The SST has nothing to do with aligning the trunion bearings, just makes sure the inner and outer axles are aligned. Just...

Can someone tell me the precise OD of the largest bushing (centering gauge adapter) on the knuckle centering SST? Need the portion that slips into the axle housing, part G from the FSM. Thanks. Gump

Ill be looking for this rig around town. Curious to hear how it turns out. Thats on my list of things to do following sheet metal work and painting. Blake

Which disc brake conversion did the PO do or was it an axle swap? Doesnt look like a minitruck. If that were the case, the rotor mounts to the back of the hub as previously described. Not sure what you have. In any case, Id have the rotors machined to minimize balance issues.

Like Tandy said, you need to replace both the master and slave cylinders at the same time. Once one gives out, the other generally follows shortly. Spend the extra bucks and get the OEM. Do it yourself and learn something new about your rig. The Haynes manual is good and there is always help...

Sounds like the clutch master just gave up. Oh, and welcome to Mud:flipoff2:

Cut a sheet of plexiglass to fit under the grill and seal it with silicone if you want to retain the stock look. Im not so much into the sparkly.

Exactly, Im going with Flaming Riverjoint but not sure what configuration. The end of the chevy slip shaft is round for the first 1.5" then the remainder is DD, so I have an option for the joint end. Which connection, smooth or DD, is better if I dont want to weld this side of the joint, DD I...

Im pretty sure there are no tech questions that have not already been answered here but I read the tech links, FAQ and used the search function extensively and still couldnt find the answer, so here goes... Back to working on my Scout PS install on my 71' 40 and am down to figuring out the...

Im midstream in my never ending Scout PS install and Im embarrased to say how long ago I started this project. Im mounting a GM pump on the 2F block using the PS pump bracket off a straight 6 Chevy as described by Jim Van de Ven in the Tech Links. How thick a piece of steel can I use to take...

Because youre not supposed to lube the pads and rotors. Pads get no bite.

Thanks Dave. Thats the measurement I got. Looks like Im going to take a little off the back of the F alt bracket this afternoon to move the alt forward... after the big one up at Dega of course. Bbalbano, if you know any local farmers, you might be able to borrow the socket from them...

Just finished installing a 2 groove pulley so I could finish a scout PS install. I used the socket and a bfh to drive it on as well. Worked pretty well. Do have a follow up though. Anyone know what the distance between the block and back of the crank pulley should be? I think I have the...

Thought there was just the early to ~ 76 spacer. Didnt realize there were others. Ive got a 78 2F in a 71 FJ40. Looks to have the short pump (68-74) with the four blade fan, probably the original 71 pump. Pump is 5 5/16" tall and the pulley bolt holes measure 2 1/16" center to center...
