    5-ton air pack rebuild instructions?

    Funny you should ask... The one I started on may just be too far gone to rebuild - I'm thinking the air cyl might not matter as much (there are some seriously deep pits in the blind end) - but the slave cyl's pits probably would require honing beyond the specified max of 1.126". I took this...

    5-ton air pack rebuild instructions?

    - Thanks again - I found this online at Direct support and general support ... - Google Books (or look for google books with that TM number) What I hadn't realized is that there would be such a vast difference in the quality of the two writeups. (I guess I changed somewhat between 1964 and...

    5-ton air pack rebuild instructions?

    The rebuilding process is...slow. I wouldn't rebuild an air-pack again, I don't think, though the $400+ new replacement cost does give me pause. Anyone got better sources? Turns out that the rebuilding TM (at least the one I am using) is not only half-useless because the images are so...

    5-ton air pack rebuild instructions?

    Thanks again, hndrsonj. I strongly suspect that nothing we'd normally find in our brake systems will mix with DOT5, and have in the past recycled/filtered reclaimed fluid - I tend to believe it's good until it's spilled. My purple fluid has always ended up amber, I suspect as a dye fades -...

    5-ton air pack rebuild instructions?

    hndrsonj - Preparing for this, I naively got just a couple of quarts off ebay for the best price I could find (twice the $20-$35/gal you have seen), thinking that was going to be more than enough to deal with one or two leaking wheel-cylinders. One quart of that fluid is now in my air-pack...

    5-ton air pack rebuild instructions?

    EXCELLENT! I was just poking around in the confusing disarray of TM files when your reply came in, crasheej, but I'd never have had the patience to find it. Turns out I've got the 1964 file - attempting to upload now in case others need it. (Yikes - A.D.D. will strike during the 12-page...

    5-ton air pack rebuild instructions?

    Can't find 'em by searching, at least with obvious terms (i.e. "air pack rebuild"). Are there such details in a TM somewhere? If need be, I'm not terribly daunted by blazing my own trail on this...but that could also lead to days of frustration if it doesn't work right... Also curious as to...
