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.
Augi...or anyone, has there been an upgrade to accept a phone such as the Apple IPhone that does not have a 3.5mm audio plug? The Apple has the usb style plug.
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.
Kurt...any idea where, short of tearing apart an old
box, to get the 3 prong connector that is on the
military style flasher box?
thanks in advance....Bill
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...
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...
Any ideas for getting the tubular frame, with the new canvas cover attached, back into the seat back frame? My son and I have been trying to use screwdrivers and 4 hands to get the back reinstalled but no luck. Can get 3 corners in but the 4th does not want to go. Thought....??????
Speaking of Deuce seat covers, what is the easiest way to replace the cushion on the back of the Deuce passenger seat? I have replace the canvas cover but can not get the cushion/rod frame back into the seat frame.
Thanks to each of you for the info. Is there a problem then
pulling a trailer with a vehicle tagged as an Antique? And, if not,
what would the weight limit be on what could be towed?
i'm trying to find any advantage/disadvantage to retitling as an
Antique, other than the obvious cheaper...
