Thanks all. Yes, Yes, a breaker bar and ...... Now imagine a log cabin garage in the middle of nowhere with nothing more than what it has in it and the tools at hand. Hence, getting that one lugnut loose actually took 60 minutes if you include the 30 minutes of brainstorming and searching for...

Ha! It took me 30 minutes to loosen one (1) lugnut last night! :Wow1: Needless to say, none of the others would move. With lugnuts that tight I'm really starting to think there was an install error with the seals. What about if it got a flat? There would be no way to change the tire on the...

Maybe I can double check by pressurizing the locker and looking for oil being sprayed out!!:snorkel:

This is my concern with having the same guy make the fix. I spoke with him yesterday and he seemed unsurprized and just commented on how much my dad liked to "do all sorts of crazy stuff" with that jeep and "find the biggest mud hole and play in it". All a bit of exageration in my opinion, he...

Ok Here is a picture of the numbers on the axle for futher ID. I must admit I am getting a bit confused as some state the seal and bearings are pressed on to the shaft and others state that they are in the axle housing. I guess I won't know till I open it up since there are different designs...

Thanks, I'm pretty sure the axle arrived with the ARB already installed. I can't remember where he ordered it from. The local mechanic installed the new gears into the axle and then installed the axle onto the jeep. I hope you're right on the D44 not having c-clips on the shafts, that would...

Thanks JakeMate Do you guys think it will be necessary to replace the bearings as well? If the seal is the only bad part then I'd like to just replace that however I'm not convinced the bearings can be preserved properly if they are used to help get the seal out.

Well so far me and the guy at NAPA determined that although the axle was a new crate that via the stamp on the diff cover the axle was made in August of 1992. The guy at NAPA needed to know this in order to give me the correct wheel seals. Per the NAPA guy: 1. Remove wheel 2. Remove diff...

Also, At first I was thinking that the local mechanic would have never touched the seals since the axle arrived assebled but now I am realizing that if he installed the new gears he would have had to back the axle shafts out and could have fouled the seals. Is this possible? The work was done...

Hi, Any experts on a short Dana 44 axle? Vehicle is a 1997 Jeep Wrangler with a Dana 44 conversion. My stepfather put this axle on when he added an ARB rear locker. He bought the entire axle with HD shafts assembled and ready to bolt on as an upgrade from the stock axle. It arrived on a palete...

Good question, As in I needed a different gauge wire fromt he fridge to the battery. I had been using the stock Engel 12 cig plug wire and plugging it into the cig plug on the dash. The 12v plug and socket would get hot and upon inspection I discovered that the wires running to the cig plug are...

Mine is about six or seven years old and has had similar issues for the past two years. I called Engel and they said that there is no way to service the closed system and that it should not need it. They suggested trying a 110v cord to test its cooling capabilities. ( Note, if you can not find...

I'm running an OLD Engel 45. Last year it got so bad I was convinced it was broken or out of coolant but according to Engel the closed system has to be really physically damaged to leak, so that wasn't it, they suggested plugging into 110v and sure enough it froze solid on high. They said this...

What I really like about the Recaro seats is the amount of side impact protection. My 3 and 4 yr old are both using the Recaro Young Sport They also have an infant seat called the Picco. http://www.recaro.com/index.php?id=849&region=3&L=2 We also used the Peg-Perego system that allowed for...

Ortlieb Dry Panniers FeDex came by today and the box said AEROSTICH!!!:wings: I have installed a new set of Ortlieb Dry Panniers on the NX. Each bag is just over 1400 cubic inches or 24L. They are independent of one another allowing for each bag to be removed without the other. There are no...

Fuel container update Here are a few pictues of the fuel container after sitting in 100+ degree AZ heat for a few days. There is some visible deformation or bulging of the container but no leaking and no smell of fumes. Brian

"Word"?????? Sorry, but you Britax Dads are WHACK!! CA-RJ Buy a Recaro and you'll never have to think twice about it again! www.recaro.com The way I look at it Recaro builds race car seats and puts the same attention towards their infant and child seats.:rally_guys: Brian

If it's just you, or two, I would think that Willys could be brought back into shape, lightly modified and with a bin of essential spare parts in the back take you just about anywhere you would want to go at less cost.
