    Stripped Geared Hub Drain Plug...good extraction methods?

    Find a tall nut that will fit the hex in the plug. Think spring hanger nut . Weld this to the plug, let cool for a few minutes, then unscrew.

    My 1952 M135 Build

    I really like the look of the GMC trucks. I also like their interior layout better than M35 series trucks.

    Do you bench bleed the master cylinder?

    I do it exactly like you. I never had a problem from not bench bleeding a master cylinder. Anyway I don't like brake fluid drooling on me on installation.

    Front wheel bearing lock tabs

    Just wanted to know what is used to bend the lock over the outer wheel bearing nut? Did you make a tool or does a tool exist to make that job go better. Big trucks have a locking rings with individual tabs and that is easy.

    New to me M35A3, suggestions needed

    Starters aren't too difficult to work on. I struggle with the brushes as I don't have 3 hands. You can use an old Motors manual for general starter procedures and good pictures. I hope yours just needs a cleaning and lubrication.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    Those fuel filters never fill up completely . A sure thing is to check pump output quantity and pressure. The procedure is probably in the -10 manual. An old Motors manual will do, use CJ5 specs. Be careful and don't set fire to the jeep.

    M49 deuce generator sourcing

    Do some troubleshooting first. Many times the regulator is the problem. The TMs have good information on this subject.

    What have you done to your JEEP today

    There is a disk under stock coils, don't know what it is. Your coil terminal may not reach distributor cap without the thickness of the disk. Just a guess, perhaps worthless.
