    m105 recovery questions.

    The brakes do not need air to be moved. I hope you have read the the countless threads about trailer recovery with civi trucks. Pintle height can be a big issue. Don't forget your tow lights. Why not use the deuce to recover it?

    M1009 Wheel bearing servicing and hub replacement

    You should not have to replace the hub unless it had something wrong like a damaged bore. Press or knock the studs out to remove the rotor. When you install a new rotor make sure the mating surfaces are spotless! Just a little bit of rust or dirt will lead to rotor runout and pulsing brakes. The...

    Has anyone ever used a "6.2 Rear main seal installation tool"?

    I did but did not see the misaligned holes! I never thought to look for symmetry. The one auto zone carries is cheap wire with a cork screw end. Yup, that is what broke off when I had that cork screw part all the way at the top of the crank! I lay on the ground for about a half hour thinking...

    My Green fever meets my Red fever

    How do you blow though a carb? It would blow all the fuel out of the bowl vent! All I've seen have been drawn though or the carb was mounted in a sealed box. Just curious.

    RPM increase when applying brakes?

    Mine does it too. I suspect something in the governor system moves.

    Has anyone ever used a "6.2 Rear main seal installation tool"?

    Nope the last four! I started at the back! A couple in the front to hold it up but not those four!

    Weight carrying capacity of a bobbed deuce!?!

    I think this thread has lost it's way. The op did not ask about insurance. If you look at the pics I posted of my bobber with stock front deuce springs in the rear, You'll see what happens when too much weight is behind the rear axle. Keep with a longer wheelbase and let the front springs help...

    Has anyone ever used a "6.2 Rear main seal installation tool"?

    If yours is like mine, getting the old rope seal out was the big task. Putting the new one in did not require a tool just lube and patience. Debur the edge of the groove or you can cut the new seal sliding it in! My old seal did not come out in one piece. Getting to the top portion required...

    Weight carrying capacity of a bobbed deuce!?!

    This is how flat my springs got after I put a multifuel in a can on the bed. I would not have thought they would have flattened out that much seeing has the front springs have the same engine plus a transmission sitting on them. The engine in the can may have been setting farther back or over...

    Could an NHC-250 be made to run on nat gas/diesel combo?

    The Cat engines that run on CNG, compressed natural gas, are that only. They may be built from the same engine as the diesel but they have lower compression ratios and a spark ignition. Designed for stationary use and hooked up to a CNG line. As to your question, propane has been used a lot on...
