My military International Harvester book says to fill it till it runs out after install. That seems like a lot but it does say after install. I can't remember what our TM's say but it was not like that. Also says every six months but I bet that is when heavy use. Guess we could discuss the...
I would just use regular air tool. As for the square plug in the canister I might go with a couple of ounce's and rotate it around up and down round and round then drain out when ever comes out. Then just service it on a regular bases using the amount the TM calls for. I have found two different...
Just make sure you use some air tool oil on the incomming air line and the square canister plug before you use it. Can be done on the work bench. I might stand the air pack up when you do the square plug and twist the whole air pack around to get the oil all over the walls of the cylinder and to...
Maybe we should move on and as said just let the OP decide to use or not. I did contact Meritor and they advise not to. I like they say advise or recommend and cover there donkey.
No worries I don't do that thing myself most of the time it's the Mods. I just wanted to see how far you were from me and now I know.
A hop, skip and a jump.:driver:
Just one opinion but fun to watch. What else is there to do when it's raining.https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+anti+seize+and+torque&view=detail&mid=34F03C9BE9419E13164734F03C9BE9419E131647&FORM=VIRE
Sorry but as per rules your location needs correcting. I have a military 5 ton expandable truck with a lift gate if it is correct we might make a deal. Believe it can be removed one way or another. The trucks are 60 miles from my home and next time I go there I could take some pics.
You know me I like to push right or wrong but this is a discussion forum. I am will to bet the Merritor engineer first said with all new studs, thimbles and nuts we recommend a dry torque with a couple drops of oil. I bet they put nothing in writing to the use of anything but a couple of drops...
Because of this thread I bought the broken thimble tool plus a very pricy torque wrench to do my wheel nuts. This is because now with the 915 freightliner and my trailer with the new S cam axle I hope to be on the road more. A friend is trying to talk me into the cross country military convoy...
Found this. How would we teach a person that has limited experience with what the lash should feel like. No we would use a dial indicator to double check what we have done. We seem to think the old TM's are the bible and just because I did it that way does not make it correct. In one of your...
I don't know Timken says use a dial indicator so we take the time to do it right these days. Thought you even said it awhile back dial indicator was the only correct way. What if it is a customer then he has to pay the price. I will do my own old military stuff as said the TM's way but as I said...
