Well now I'm really glad I posted this because I was planning on using two short keys. The newer TM (2320-361-20)I was looking at seems to show one longer key though and I was just thinking that's probably for a reason. You think I should get one longer one?
Want to contribute some info I came across during my tandem rebuild. I had to replace my rear trunnion (part # 7700126) and I discovered that the NOS trunnion I got from easternsurplus had the keyway all the way down and not just to the outer bearing. So it looks like the flaw that allowed the...
Have it all apart now. So far looks like a much more refined design than the long airpack. No trouble at all opening it up with such detailed pics. Mine probably didn't need to be rebuilt. All the seals are in great condition. Going to save all the parts I'm replacing just in case.
I'm going to be putting my brake system back together with basically all new parts. I'm seriously considering going with DOT3/4 fluid just because it's easy to get anywhere and I don't mind flushing it every couple of years. Is there any reason to stick with DOT5 if you're basically starting...

Yeah Im pretty sure that a machine shop is going to charge at least as much or more to try and fix this thing as it would cost to get a new one. Plus Id have to haul it all over to have them look at it. Will try to find a new used one. Plenty of trucks getting cut up so cant be that hard.
