i got to checking torque values now that i can get under my rig with new coils.
one of the "inner" nuts is spinning and word seems to be that it is either a stripped thread in the knuckle housing or a broken stud?
what is the proper plan of attack for this? options?
i had not intended on doing a full break down of the axles for six months to a year as i have other things i need to sort. at the same time it may be important for me to road trip.
is there a down and dirty way of taking care of this prior to a full disassembly?
can i buy a time sert kit and walk into my local land cruiser shop and see if they are willing to get me in?
as it stands i just stopped turning it since it did not seem like it was going to take anything.
second image is my trying to figure out how to get a torque wrench on the outer bolts. but i guess i should just snug them up with some heavy force (71 ft lb) on a crescent wrench?
THANKS
someone gave me this link but i think it is going to be down the road a bit before i can get to doing anything beyond a repair? or is there something i may as well spend the money on now if i am this far into it?!
