I removed my master not too long ago. The mount does not need to be removed. There are 4 bolts. I had 3 out and it would not move. I could not see the 4th bolt. After scraping off the dirt and grease found a 4th bolt. Turned it sideways and it came right out with no problems.
Well all 12 are 5 sided. It just came from the military. There was also a different air system. No valve core on the rim and the original system connected to a ? 3/8 air line.
When did the nuts change from 6 sided to 5 sided./ I went to dismount a wheel today and spent 10 minutes trying to find a socket until I realized that the nuts were 5 sided. When did thy change or did I just get an odd ball rim?
Again I can't find the right TM.
I removed the steering linkage from the steering box to the axel, ? drag link, to be able to remove the axel from the truck in order to add a locker. What is the adjustment. All the way down and line up the cotter pin or is there a specific adjustment or torque?

I know they are military just don’t know off of what of if I would even have a use for them. I did not have a chance to measure them yet. I am going tomorrow to pick up some deuce rims and 5 ton rims. All have street tires except for a 14.00 on 2 piece rim.
I found these rims's. They look like a deuce bolt pattern but are tubless and the rims center is about 1/2" thick. The tires are 15 X 19.5. Any idea what they fit?
I flushed my system and went back with DOT 5. Lot of cost. From all I have read and talked to people is that DOT 5 has good water properties and will help with water / rust in the system. A lot of military vehicles had been running DOT 3 and were converted to DOT 5 to keep the lines from...
