ARB Locker Bolt

[CruisinGA]

I picked up my freshly installed ARB locker today, and the manager of the place comes out to hand it to me, and points to an empty bolt hole and says "There wasn't a botl in the box for this hole, but I can tell you taht if you run this third without that bolt it will fawk up big time, so don't do it".

heres a pic, is this an ARB bolt that I lost in teh 12 months this locker was sitting in my garage, or what?

Thanks!

That bolt holds the center pin retainer in... It could really mess some stuff up without it. You may be able to use a standard bolt (assuming the actual retaining ping is in there)....

I have the bolt (and possilbly) the retainer pin in stock, let me know...

Either way, make SURE you run the retainer pin and a bolt...

ARB Part Numbers:

Cross shaft retaining pin: 120303 or 120201 (different design, old versus new)
Bolt/Washer: 201001 & 200503 or 200504

Bailey-


Where is your little bag of c-clips that comes with the ARB RD08?


Should have the cross pin instillation tool ( Little 'L' shaped piece with threads on the long end, the cross pin, and the bolt and lockwasher...


WHEN YOU INSTALL THE CROSS PIN RETAINING PIN, MAKE DAMN SURE THAT IT IS FULLY SEATED, SO THAT THE CROSS SHAFT DOES NOT WALK OUT!! You can install the little allen head bolt into that hole the keeper pin goes into, and not have the keeper pin fully seated.


You still have my #?

Give me a call if you want more info...

I do not have your number, Steve, would be nice to talk, the phone is easier than typing.

So the center pin is the large solid cylinder sticking out about 1/4" in my pic? I can just see the top of a hole in it when looked at from the other side.

I've attached a pic of the contents of my c-clip bag. the allen head bolt and associated lockwasher looks promising. Seems like there should be something else that goes down in the hole then to retain the center pin. I guess that would be the cross shaft retaining pin.

I may give you a call tomorrow Kurt. You can overnight stuff, right.

I have a feeling peesalot may need some ARB parts so I call first dibs on cross shaft retaining pins.

Guess I should post the pic if I say I will...
Numbered for your convenience.

from the 1 st. pic it looks like there is no shaft retaining pin in there cause the end should be flush with case. Cruiseroutfitter , I need 2 L tools , 1 shaft retaing pin , 1 cover screw , 1 bulkhead fitting kit , got em ?

 

[CruisinGA]

I called dibs. See earlier post. I read your mind.

Left you a message Kurt.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

Got your message Bailey, I should have plenty of this stuff in stock... I will get it pulled and call you guys back in the morning... I bailed early today (Scuba lessons )

 

[cruiseroutfit]

I just looked at my box o'parts... I don't have any of the cross-shaft retaining pins...

But...

Bailey: You will be able to easily tell if your retaining pin is in their by playing with the cross shaft itself. If you can push on the crossshaft, it will push thru the opposite side of the ARB carrier if the retaining pin isn't in there. To be sure, use your removal tool (#7 on your pic.) and insert the threaded end in the hole. It should thread right into the retaining pin and allow you to pull it out. If it is there, use part #4 & #5 to secure it in place (use a bit of Loctite on the thread)

Peesalot: I have one removal tool and the entire fitting kit... The rest of the stuff I need to replenish my supply on. Lemme know.

PS for the future... you can use a long drywall (Grabber) screw to remove the retaining pin if your in dire need (middle of the trail, etc)

Best option... get a full-floater and skip the C-clips

Curt-

You can see in the pic that the cross shaft is not flush with the ARB housing....

So, since you've failed me Kurt, where in your ARB wisdom would be the next best place to get one from? I reaaallly want to get this sucker in before friday.

Would you mind checkin your box-o'parts at the shop, Steve? You mentioned you weren't sure you had one, but that checking was a possibility in the morning...

For anyone who may be interested, or have a lead on cross shaft retaining nuts

My ARB was missing the same bolt. I called ARB in Seattle and they sent me one. If yer really nice, maybe you could talk them into next day or second day air?

 

[CruisinGA]

Bob @ TPI got me one, as I bought the locker from him.

Thanks for your help Steve and Kurt, I think I kind of understand what's goin on here now.

can't wait to wheel at tellico with a locker finally.

CruiserGA you did , you called it bastid . I say if you only got 1 L tool left you better glove box it as a trail backup for some poor sucka like me who can't find it.
I have had good luck by calling Tim and getting part #'s then buying from 4wheelparts , they don't show the #'s for all the little bs parts they stock for some reason but if you have the part# they seem to always have the s*** , wierd , huh ?
