Well one windshield is cracked and the other needs paint guess I will pull them.

Decided I am going to start working on the deuce when I have spare time. Between work and family have not gotten much done. So today new wiper upgrade.

Whats the clearance between the pump and the bottom of the tank supposed to be?

Well, I am going to pull mine. Waiting on the hose and gasket. I can already tell removing those screws is going to suck

I vote vent clogged gear oil went through seals and took the grease out of the bearings. Good link: http://www.xm381.com/xm381/How_To/Pages/Hub_Flip.html

Not really of the zipper boot. In that last one you can see the inner and outer grove that need to be cleaned. Here is a picture of the front axle on jacks. You can see the guards that need to be removed. If this is your first time I would pull the hub. Picture of that to

Did it last week again after my silicon boot failed. Cleaner the groves easier it is. When I put the boot on I have the clamp a little tight, then work the rubber under the clamp with a flat head screw driver. That's my one man axle boot secret.

If your doing zippered, take the wheel off, guard plate off, cut the old boot, put the boot on, clamp, guard plate on, tire on, and your done.

pretty straight foward fix. Pull the hubs replaces the seals, new cork, pack the bearing, and put it all back together. Hardest part is taking off the wheels and putting them back on. No stupid boot like the front, I hate that boot design.

It's was a nice build, truck aside nice fabrication skills.2cents

I am thinking of cuting my stack flat horizontally and adding a rain flap. I saw one at the tractor supply store in canton. This would make it "simple stupid".

May be a stupid question, how do you which wire goes where? There three high, low, bright? Can some one educate me?

Pop out of gear no good sign of wearing I believe I can't shift into low with one finger but it goes in pretty easy

I would jack up the front axle, then break the lock nut on the steering box, and adjust the set screw. It's tight if you a winch. I push the wheels back and forth till it feels smooth. Not a very good pic of the steering box but it's on the side below the injector pump.

I got so pissed off with my yellow silicon boot yesterday I took the box cutter to it. I'm done with solid boots. What a pita these boots are.

Did you try adjusting it?

There a lot of important stuff in the hub then just the boot. I say pull the pack the bearings, replace the seals, inspect the brake, clean the kingpins.....etc PCMS Just saying

Wash and apply tire shine. Then wipe down the tire shine with a wet sponge.

I have had great success with my Solargizer.

Got the 1/8" tube in and ran the truck. A couple small leaks fixed and she is solid. Now coming the fun part line from the injector pump to the flame heater pump. It's 3/8" and I got it off with out removing anything. Love my gear wrenches. I hope the reinstall goes smooth. Also, truck start...
