I am going to be doing the same thing next weekend, is the dog available to help?

Mel - Looking great!!!

Where'd you get the new flanges and how much? I wanted to pick up a spare set, but everywhere I've found them seems to be too pricey...

the 4 speed has larger drive shafts than my 71 equiped 3 speed

in order to make the larger shafts work,

I had to get new flanges for my 3rds

to complete the job I replaced the seals, slingers and stake nuts

 

[cruiserjunktion]

flanges $or, they had all kinds of different ones. I got a set for a 12/74 model same as my tranny

nice work

Mel, Chasing down parts, restoring a cruiser, and 70 hrs a week; That was enough. But you have a dog, too! Nice. Keep up the good work,I'm looking forward to seeing this rig competed. John

Did you replace the bushing on the low and high output gears on the transfer case?

 

[Poser]

Great thread pal!


Glad to see all the progress!

 

[89s rule]

Nice job any particular reason you stuck with the coarse splined birfs?

and what type of grease did you use?

 

[cruiserjunktion]

89s- grease came from tpi4x4.com belray brand

If I could do it again....

I would have upgraded the front to mini truck discs, knuckles birfs and arms, instead of the jto set up. I purchased the jto kit before I joined mud.

It is all a learning curve man...


When I think about all the things that I have 'learned' since 1988 and continue to daily, I just smile, and hope that I can prevent just one person some day from paying for the same college credits that I already have.....


This is just one of the many awsome things about Brian's site.

trollhole-

what number are you refering to

I replaced 8, 6, 41, 14, 18, 29, 3, 76, 75, 26, 23, 34

23 was $70 but worth it

 

[Trollhole]

22.

I think a lot of people leave these out on a rebuild and they are a source for problems down the road. WOrn bushing cause the hi speed gear to woble (since it is the one most used) and it causes the dogs and collar #23 to wear prematurely.

unfortunatly you need a press to replace these. SOmething I didn't have in the shop and didn't do it. WIsh I had. They aren't expensive from toyota and are just as valuable as any of the bearings in a transfer case.

Good job on replacing 23 a lot of people miss this also.

And 19 is another one that ought to be replaced.

15 can be skipped as long as they don't fall apart upon dissasembly (usually a sign to replace) but if 19 (idler gear shaft) is even slightly worn I would also replace these.


Good job in replacing what you did. SOme peole just replace seals and maybe the ouput shaft bearing and call it a rebuild. A long way from a true rebuild.

BUt there is nothing in the world that can compare to a properly rebuilt transfer case.
