    Why Blue Hummer Spindle Nuts? Hummer H1’s video answer!

    So did anyone notice the spindle nut is installed incorrectly? The lock washer isn’t failing, the nut is on backwards, in addition, I suspect the spacers were installed incorrectly or not at all…

    Geared hub drain plug removal advice

    the heat melts the sealant that was applied, it’s also about impossible to heat just the case and not the plug, using an EX out is a last resort, most times heat and vice grips, EZ out only if there is not enough exposed threads to grab.

    Geared hub drain plug removal advice

    I doubt anyone is going to drive the EZ out in 2in, the plug is in the sump of the hub, but if that’s the case perhaps they should take it to a qualified shop.

    Geared hub drain plug removal advice

    propane torch and an easy out….probably do 1 or 2 a week, entire process is 5mins from start to finish, the plugs are soft material, looking at the pic, you didn’t drill the hole large enough, get it in there deeper, you have plenty of room, hammer the EZ out into the hole to get a good bite.

    Tie rod end cross reference

    rods and ends are different based on what truck you have…All A2’s and above use shorter rods than A0-A1, the control arm covers are a different angle. The radius of the Rod ends has changed as well, but are interchangeable on any model despite that radius change.
