Trying to get a hold of my half brother whos over that way, he did have a nice size garage but with him I am sure he turned it into a tea sipping area or something :roll:

Hes on Duffield in Kent. Oh can you tell he golfs and thats about it except for sipping various teas :lol:

nothing like me at all but....just trying to find something closer to ya Jon

jerbacher · **Posted:** Thu Nov 29, 2007 6:49 pm

closer would be nice... but its really not that big of a deal. people tow cars around all the time, so it shouldnt be a problem. plus, you have the floor jack and jack stands and all the tools and schtuff there already.

I wont be able to help on the 8th. But any other day saturday/sunday would be feasible.

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Nov 30, 2007 1:30 am

not sure how long Jon wants to wait to get his baby back on the road. I can do either Saturday or Sunday next week I think ...well right now till the wife comes home this weekend for a month :wink:

Can also do the following weekend one day I am pretty sure if Mitch and rayman975 wants to come up/over. with enough of us working on it we should be able to do it in pretty good time,

What all special tools will we need? trying to think here after being up 17 hours ...brain dead :roll:

35mm socket

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Nov 30, 2007 9:27 am

Yep you are right , have to find one of those, maybe L.O.S.T Ohio should set up a tool fund as well! I think I should have everything almost everything else we need if we do it here.

OH and I got a call from a junk yard whoops salvage yard 2 miles from the house this morning, they have a 4.10 front diff for 500 complete with 38000 miles, wonder if its worth it to change everything over? Wonder if the wife would like that under the tree for Christmas? :wink:

You should buy that!!! Even if you dont have the money to do the rear right now, you could stash it in the garage for a rainy day!

tommudd · **Posted:** Fri Nov 30, 2007 9:43 am

Thats what I need to do and also I really need something else stashed in my garage! :lol:

Well I have my 40 in for this week so I am out of here catch you in a day or two I am out on the road again! LOOK OUT :wink:

Everyone have a great weekend!

I had to rent a 3 prong hub puller to get the hub off the axle after I took off the axle nut. And a ball joint puller for the tie rod and the lower ball joint. also, reconnect the drive shaft before you tighten the housing bolts down.

A 1 7/16 socket will also work on the axle nut. I had to borrow that from someone, as my sockets only go to 1 1/8.

It's been over 2 yrs. already so I'm a little vauge in remembering.

I'm going to a concert in Cleveland Saturday night. I need to be there around 7pm. So, if everyone thinks we can get it done for me to make the drive home (2-2.5hrs), clean up and get back up to cleveland (1.5hrs) (total 3.5-4hrs) then we can do it saturday. I think if we get started, we could swing it. Otherwise, I'm up for Sunday too!

tommudd · **Posted:** Sat Dec 01, 2007 11:33 am

I would rather not try and rush it, everytime you do that something goes wrong, but.........if you want to try

sunday is cool with me if it is for everyone else. i think you said sunday was fine earlier, so thats probably the best choice! i totally agree, rushing is baaaaaddddd...

jerbacher · **Posted:** Sat Dec 01, 2007 2:37 pm

i'm sorry for all the confusion on this.... i've been informed by "the boss" that my soon-to-be sister in-law's college graduation is sunday. there's no way i can miss that. so, i found someone that will take my concert ticket so we can do the wrenching on saturday. so, back to original plan of saturday!

once again, sorry for confusion... :roll:

oh, and does anyone know some more info about that 35mm socket that i need? drive size? deep well or normal?

on a side note, i picked up all the parts today. the carrier looks pretty good. i didnt take of the cover, but i peaked inside and it seems fine. i turned it and it turns pretty easy. i stuck my nose in there and it smells like normal old gear oil, not burnt crappy oil. so, all in all, without really knowing what to look for. it looks good. below are some pics. check out the one of me holding the chunk of the old housing up in front of the new one. you can clearly see that the crack starts right on the seam where the two halves are put together. bad joint?

tommudd · **Posted:** Sat Dec 01, 2007 11:55 pm

interesting so its back to Saturday then what time and who can come.......? Help us ....please :wink:

meh_kick · **Posted:** Sun Dec 02, 2007 3:24 am

Hmm. I picked up a 35mm socket at the flea market today. But will not be able to help Saturday...

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Dec 02, 2007 1:56 pm

Jon, ya know how my garage is.....and what I have...... guess what I found a 35 and a 36 mm socket! Forgot I had them :lol:

yeah, i guess i should have expected that to happen... :wink:

I think we are on for Saturday. Too bad that takes Mitch and Ray out of the picture, but, what can ya do... You can just sit in the easy chair with the doors open and yell instructions to me. Until theres a bolt I cant break of course, which will happen in, ya know, the first 5 minutes... :lol:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Dec 02, 2007 2:54 pm

So how are ya getting it over and back, dolly it both ways? Just curious, I will get a hold of Sean to see if he can pitch in as well.
