Hey guys,so I dont quite have my CDL just yet and just to be on the safe side, with the weigh stations around I need someone who wants to take a little trip with me from bend to hillsboro to grab my m925, its all insured and ill have a heavy vehicle trip permit ready but we may have to do a bearing seal swap out on the middle right axle, but its possible it might just be ok for the trip. Its only gotta make it 170 miles so if it can be done without the swap out that would be the way to go. I have all the necessary tools to make the swap out a breeze including:
100-600 ft lb torque wrench
torque multiplier (for stuck lug nuts)
all torque specs for flange, axle and lug nuts
4-3/8 OTC socket (axle nut - front)
4-7/8 OTC socket (axle nut - back)
5 gallon bucket gear oil pump (for pumping fluid back into the differential)
2 20 ton bottle jacks
roller carts,
silicone
gaskets and seals
high temp wheel bearing grease
80w90 differential fluid
I am guessing the whole deal will take 3.5 hrs to get down there, 3 hours to get fixed, and 4 hrs to drive it back home so 11 hours total. I will probably leave early in the morning to get down there at a descent time. If we just gotta fill up the pumpkin it should only take about 30 minutes and then we are on the road back to bend.
Anyways if anyone local to the area is interested in helping out? Please let me know. Im planning on making a trip down there the weekend of June 1st and 2nd. other then the bearing seal the rig is mechanically sound so it should be a neat trip.
