Thanks! I have the M1123 and was looking for another one or two and they aren't selling nearly as many as they used to so I was wondering what other model is compatible. I noticed they are the same year models so that makes sense.
I took apart my calipers to service and paint them and found some of the internal parts damaged. I haven’t found the parts listed on any of the normal supply locations. Does anyone know where I can get the lever retainer boot, thrust screw spring shield, and thrust bearing? I’d hate to...
So I tried heating with a torch upside down knocking it off and it didn't work. I ended up making two diagonal cuts opposite each other and it worked well . You just can't go too deep and then you hit with a chisel. I went too deep on one and put a groove in it so I'll probably buy a new one...
I think I could use my puller if I knew how to get the spindle extension out. That extra inch keeps the puller arms from reaching. I can't grip it and when you take the plug out of the flange end you can't knock it out. I have presses to put everything back together and a lathe to make the...
I'm not saying everyone gets that miliage out of them but one guy on here did and the forums and Youtube are littered with examples of them lasting a few months or a few thousand miles.
From what I've seen the Chinese axles are more trouble than they're worth. People are getting 80 miles out of them and then you have to tear it all down again and put new ones in.
I don’t have to keep them. They seem ok but all the axles were gone so they had been open to water and I don’t know how many miles were on them. I already have all new bearing so if I have to beat them off so be it but I’m not putting it all back together with the old stuff. Can you...
There are plenty of videos on YouTube of assembling the portal axles hubs but none that I found of disassembly. I’ve got the gears out and all the plates off but I don’t know how to get the spindle bearing off and the small gear bearings off without hurting them. Any help would be...
So this is what the engine and transmission mounts look like. For times sake I chose to add onto the existing mounts instead of taking them off and starting from scratch. I’ll probably add some more gussets in there. Also, pro tip: if you’ve removed the body and you need to jack up your a...
I got the engine mounts fab’d up and installed using Hooker Blackheart Poly mounts and plates I made, worked really well. The motor and diff have the same 3 degree pinion angle. I set the body back down on it and everything cleared well. The drain plug is recessed above the frame and I’ll...
