M35A2 tire valve stem

[MATT]

I am removing the Central Tire Inflation system on our M35A3's because they constantly leak down while sitting. The axle seals seem to be mostly o-rings, is this going to be reliable?

I would like to remove the current valve stem assembly and replace it with a normal style valve stem- to make it simple. Anyone done any of this yet?


Thanks-

Just take off the A3 rims and put on M34 (super single split ring) or stock dual deuce rims. If you want to convert the A3 rim all you need is a couple brass fittings. Its not a hard change over, just look at the rim and see what you need. GIJoezcar did that to one of his A3's while he was fixing the CTIS.

Matt I know someone that needs the CTIS stuff, if you decide to sell it please contact me.

I want to use the A3 wheels. What about the inner axle seals? It is just an o-ring, it seems like they will leak....

they dont leak if you install the with a little Grease or if you really want them to seal use BLUE RTV, but if you have to get them apart its a BI&CH! The grease works well. I have one tire that I have not had to add air in 3 years. The others I check before I take it out and have to add some from time to time, but its not bad.

Great! I will get some new inner hub o-rings, outer wheel seals, the spindle corks and re-pack the bearings. Thanks
