Blown seal might as well replace the bearing ....
backing plate bolts you have to remove these
the axle pulled after a few taps with the hammer on the backing plate
fresh bearings with new retainer and plate slid on . with this mod you no longer have to remove the backing plate...
in the interest from another page i decided to post this mod for the samurai owners how to pull the rear drums / axles and how to do the 410 axle mod
Any way while i still had some energy and was feeling in an Axle-like fixy mode I attacked my spare rear axle that I picked up for when I do my...
BACKGOUND
mine really wont be a Samurai by the time i am done except in name only.:chef: as I am doing the mini cab conversion to it . my original body has had many replacement patches welded in but its not ideal. so i found a rust free tintop and am taking it from there . I...
http://bbs.zuwharrie.com/content/board,15.0.html try this place if you dont get any solid info thats the all suzuki page all suzuki all the time . my build is there under the diesel page (Diesel Weasel) as I plan on dumping a 1.9 AAZ VW motor in my samurai
Nice ride/ I agree do all your maintenance . redo Universal joints and keep 2 spares .get a spare "RAG Joint" the part that connects the steering to the steering box . U Joints ... That has been the week point for mine. You might want to upgrade the the suspension or at least the seats . . I...
as usual the bumpers will be replaced as the stock ones are as effective as tinfoil for a real mounting point so while doing this I have to figure out how to mount my tail lights and I am going Old school and frenching them into the body
The motor will require further mods to allow its use but thats as far as I have gotten on that . it seems I have ADHD and WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT SQUIRREL!!! I have also started in on the mods to the body I will be dropping on . i started with this . although you cant see it had been rolled and...
then it was onto the nose bump mod . the original AAZ only has a small notch on the crank pulley and its been known to wallow out and then allow the belt to jump. what I did was drill through the pulley and pin it with 3 hardened steel pins although its hard to see on the second pic you can see...

Now to attack the rust jeez there was a stop sign for the pass floorboard and three types of pop cans for the rear wheel wells . Spray foam was used in other areas
well from there it was new shackles to replace the stock ones

Hey Spokerider funny meeting you here
I have a 88 suzuki samurai with a 1.3 l gas motor , i am in the middle of a massive rebody /reworking / customization of it. while doing this I am swapping out the gas motor for a 1.9 td from VW, this will give me more range torque and power. along with being a mechanical diesel it will also be...
