You only put the oil in the input side of the steering actuator. This lubricates the seals in the acturator as well as the main cylinder. It works better if you jack the front end up and work the steering wheel back and forth from lock to lock about 20 times to thoroughly get the oil to the...

Amdro works great. Grits also works, but isn't so quick.

There is another thing that will help with the brass nuts. The nuts are slightly rounded and most sockets are rounded and they don't get a good grip. Use a 6-point socket. If you gring the outer edge of the socket all the way around to the point where you have a sharp edge, the socket will...

WM, I would like one large tan shirt and one large black shirt and I vote for red. I will pick up at the rally.

We need more information. When does the noise occur? While driving? While idling in neutral? When the clutch is depressed and not driving? when the clutch is lightly depressed while not driving? If the noise occurs while driving only, check the short drive shaft between the transmission...

You will need to replace the o-ring to get to the grommet, but I can almost guarantee that it is the grommet leaking. I would recommend replacing the brass nut as well as they tend to get rounded off. Make sure you torque the brass nut to 45-60 Lb-Ft when you replace the grommet. Don't use...

In my opinion, regardless of whether you have the angled adapter that is stock or a straight adapter, anyone breaking down an A3 wheel is making a big mistake not replacing the valve stem grommet. These deteriorate with age and also tend to start leaking when they are disturbed when adding air...

Put a 2/6 through the door window openings and jack the top back into shape with a bottle jack and a piece of wood against the top. If you're careful it will correct the problem almost 100%. If you are not careful - - - - -

I always drain the tanks on my A3 even though nothing ever comes out. It only takes a few minutes.

As you can see from the copy of my tag receipt, my 18,000 Lb commercial plate only cost $25.00 for the tag and $1.11 for the ad valorem tax for a total of $26.11. The commercial tags are not expensive by any means, so there is really no reason not to use the correct tag. Tags for deuces are...

Technically, a deuce should have 26,000 Lb plates because of the highway payload capacity. I have 18,000 Lb weight plates on mine because it is arguable that it is call a 2-1/2 truck. Standard plates are definitely illegal. When I got my first deuce several years ago, the tag office told me...

Going through five and a half feet of water with extended operation has undoubtedly contaminated all of your fluids and possibly your fuel. I would recommend the following. 1. Drain fuel tank to remove potential water. 2. Drain and refill transmission. 3. Drain and refill transfer cases 4...

Don't do it! As AceHigh said, it will screw up your air dryer and CTIS manifold. Not only that, but there will be residual oil in your pneumatic system that will continue to contaminate the dryer and manifold replacements. The only place I would recommend adding MMO or air tool oil is into the...

I would go to the HMVF - Historic Military Vehicles Forum forum in the U.K. and search.

I use Right Stuff as well. I leaned in school that ball bearings last much longer if lubed by oil and that roller bearings will last much longer if lubed by heavy grease.

If I'm understanding your quesdtion correctly, which I may not be, the center of the outer seal is tight because of the washer and nut. The outer seal then seals against the hub. There should be no oil getting to the bearing. As a side note, make sure you have a good outer seal. Some of the...

Everyone with an A3 should clean that check valve, even if the engine is running good. It will let you down. Ask me how I know.

You could try contacting Russell Blackburn's family. They may very well have his computer with a backup of the files. They might consider it a compliment to try to re-launch the site.

It worked fine for me. Good stuff!
