Massive box of OEM goodness landed today from the parts guy formerly known as Beno. He searched out all the non US components so I can take these axles apart and reassemble them with all OEM parts

Smart man as well. I’m envious. A dip in the springs sounds good.
I want to do that too sometime
More coming soon!

Only one update on Lil Stinky. Added a Dingo4x4 frosty beverage holder and put it on that rack. Tomorrow I tear.

‘‘Twas a fine day at Tilda Bogue …….
Things started off a little rough when the very first full float axle stud snapped off.
I hosed it all down yesterday with Kroil and had high hopes.
I broke out the heat and smoked the rest of them good and they came off clean. Hammer drill made pretty easy work of the cone washers. The one with the broken stud was a bear but I got it
Third came out easy enough after I put the tranny jack on the pinion. The pinion had fluid leaking so it was good we went deep
Red bought me some Popeyes and I took a break in the shop

Jason @Ozark cruiser set us up a beautiful ARB.
I spent a bunch of time getting the mating surface perfect because I’m trusting this paper gasket Mr T uses. Lately I’ve been using FIGP but Beno sent the gasket and I am trusting the science.
I’m old and 3rd are heavy but a lift and a tranny jack made it nice.
After that got in I dove into the hubs and drums.
This hammer screwdriver is the bomb for hard to pull jIS screws. The ones in the hubs were not moving but this licked em
This 70 was well maintained. The insides looked good on the pass side. One retainer pin was gone but no corrosion or mud.

The hubs came clean. Drums came off without too much hassle.
The drivers side backing plate is a bit crusty which is common. I’ll clean it up best I can and fluid film it to stop the rust.
There was a little bigger pile of springs in the driver drum.
I’m calling it a Saturday. A good Saturday…...new studs installed, races in the freezer and hubs painted for repack tomorrow.

Wow. That’s a day, my friend. Kaizen happening all over the place. 
That’s real work. No “Zoom Calls”…
Glad we stayed with the plan and renewed everything.
Unknown MX history necessitates renewal and baseline.
Enjoy… I’ll be on the Con.

Happy Fathers Day fellas.
Got in early and repacked the rear hubs. Putting your races in the freezer overnight makes them easy to tap in
After both hubs got repacked with grease I dissected the passenger side and exposed the backing plate and wire brushed all the rust away
This is my go-to rust converter. I will let this soak and set up and then treat the edges with Fluid Film. FF will creep in all the places the converter and paint would not reach.
I separated all of the parts by side. Some are marked on the part L or R but you can also look on the bag. If the first 5 numbers on the bag end in an odd number that is the right side of the vehicle. Toyota does not make Bell Cranks for 60s and since I don’t see any here then they must not make them for 70s either so I just polished these up
The converter has started to cure. Off to the drivers side.

It’s actually the first 5 numbers that designate RH and LH but I’ll let you keep on, keeping on.

That’s what I said I think …. At least that’s what I meant.
Done with the rear…once the brake shoes arrive I’ll finish it up. Hard part is done.

Did you run spacers with those steelies?

They fit without them but they are likely going to rub the tub without them. They are 4” BS and the tires have a little girth. Once I get the lift on it I’ll know. I have a set of 1” ready in case.

I ate most of it. Red won’t eat it so it goes on camping trips
