    Any ideas on getting the 1 3/16th nuts off body bushing bolt

    Most auto part stores do not carry it but high end big rig mechanics use it. The last time I stocked up was when I saw it on AMA - - - so I ordered several cans. If you have trouble finding it PM me.

    Any ideas on getting the 1 3/16th nuts off body bushing bolt

    Use FreeAll. Spray the threaded area, wait a couple of minutes, then take the nut off. Mechanic told me about this stuff a few years back. Unbelievable..... Once you use FreeAll you will throw your PB Blaster away.

    Thanks to everyone for your expertise. My son picked up an IR Thermometer but before taking any readings he changed out the outer seal with an OEM seal (took off the made-in-China seal), and took the truck for a spin. The hub in question "was much cooler infact seems cooler than the other 3...

    Deuce Rear Hub Runs Hot

    Interesting you say that simp5702.....The Rockwell guys in Canada told my sons yesterday that we don't need to use the cork to prevent the oil from reaching grease. They said in fact, in the off=road world, they don't use the outer seal either. They DO let the oil lubricate the bearings.

    Greetings All...I have a perplexing issue I sure could use your help with. One of the rear hubs on the Deuce has a very warm hub after even short runs. We torn the hub down, repacked the bearings (with high-temp grease, no noticeable wear markings on the bearing or race), reinstalled the hub...
