Front hub is disassembled. light rust removed, gave it a couple coats of grease and bees wax, the one you buy at the hardware store (toilet seal ring) I don't want to take it to far apart, but I don't want it to rust much more, so I use a coating of wax and grease PO was in here before me, screwed up the bearing races slightly |

Not sure if you can see it, but the PO was in here grinding on the bearing seat. some people shouldn't have tools |

This maybe my most useful tool yet, worked great for seeing inside hub to align locking rings and plate |

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...9f7cf0df_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/2ipaLL8]20200204_104442 when you first take the hub apart, check to see if the threads are in good shape. Nothing worst then cross threading these retaining nuts As you can see, the PO didn't have the proper tool, so he just used a punch, damaging the outer locking nut Not shone, a plate that sits on the bearing, supports the spring for the locking hub |

If the slot is at 12 o'clock, then my pin is at 11:50 put a lttle grease on it so it won't fall off as you're trying to assemble |

caliper mounted, looked every where for new mounting bolts and used bolts, but all I could find were chinese knockoffs, any ideas would be helpful? https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...4bfa87c2_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/2ipvbiH]20200205_130217 not sure on these brake pad retaining clips, are they just for assembly or do they stay on? so, after talking to Wes, he has used the after market ones with success, just ordered from Rock Auto we'll see friday |

stub axle? wanted to move in about 3/8" making it difficult to get the snap ring seated, found a bolt with fine threads that would grab it, allowing me to pull out finished lock out, may send chrome cover out to get replated, only fugley piece of the whole system Deadhead Minn. seems to have a good source https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...98118239_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/2iqmcid]20200207_130214 |
Re: PO has me PO'd
after thought, I think I read somewhere maybe Special K, that you should only use a light oil on this step of the reassembly, as grease is to heavy and sticky to allow proper function of the lock out

As Wes said, these caliper bolts are a direct replacement, except bolt head size Thanks Richard for confirming that, still have that piece for the heater shroud, just been to busy to ship |
Re: PO has me PO'd
Attempting to bench bleed my M/C, bought some metal pre flared tubing from NAPA (7/16 and !/2") just bent by hand to circle back into m/c chambers
never tried this method before, so we'll see how it goes. Videos on line show it just leaking out of the ports. as long as the tubes are below the fluid level in the chambers I think this will work still have to build a bracket to keep the plunger from moving https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...69c9a654_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/2ixAC1R]20200225_112606 |

Seems like this method worked, just loosened up the three bolts, 1 for the M/C bolt and 2 for the prop valve, so I could start the fittings by hand, nothing worse than cross threading fittings at this point!! Now onto the bleeders Thinking of supporting the safety pin on the prop valve, so it doesn't slide open, but can't think of a way yet Forgot to mention that I pushed on the pedal when the recirculating pipes were in place, seemed to get the air out This old coating from eastwood seems to be impervious from brake fluid |

I've got brakes.... Not overly impressed with my chinese knockoff of a mighty vac. Zero setting was off by 4 inches of vacuum, fitting were a bit large to seal on the bleeder. I worked around them Pumped it up to 25 inches, opened up the bleeder, and sucked fluid into the container. CAREFUL, the back chamber on the M/C is very small. On first pull, you can empty it quickly, after that you can fill up the cannister 1/2 way, before the chamber needs fluid I bleed it down till I have about 10 inches then shut off bleeder Great method for a one man bleeder |

Trying to hook up my vacuum gauge, needed to find a coupling that would fit the adapter on the gauge. Home depot had this kit available |
Re: PO has me PO'd
my vacuum gauge on the pump is about 5 inches off

Re: PO has me PO'd
exhaust on the cheap
went on NAPA's catalog, came up with an assortment of hangers and clamps, had to modify some of the hangers. Then had to drill a rivet, as it was in the exact place where I wanted to mount the hanger, my least favorite thing to do, after about 2 hours of stepping the drill size up and 2 batteries, worked out. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...cf98f08b_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/2iYuS8X]20200507_085353https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b25cf0c3_c.jpg[url=https://flic.kr/p/2iYuRpn]20200507_085308 took my old 1 1/2" pipes to a shop and used them as a template, nothing fancy, no mandrel bend turn downs had to be adapted for now, later will have the exhaust bent over axle |

moved the truck to the back yard so i could test some systems out, problems with the temp. gauge, fixed by part from NAPA G1852, sent off to a1971 blazer, and he turned it down to 3/8" ,quickly. now the gauge reads as it should(thanks to the guys on the electrical forum) also bought a repair kit from AA #34620 next was the hydro boost, pedal was pulsing, air in the system, just kept bleeding system, by turning lock to lock, and drilled a small vent hole in cap. takes a while to get all the micro bubbles out now trans doesn't want to shift into gear, maybe an adjustment, also my pan gasket leaks, waiting on a gasket from lube locker |
