What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[rcamacho]

they don’t just “slide off” unfortunately, a puller is required , just not as bad as the rcsk18330 pump that is pressed on, this one uses a keyed shaft with woodruff….hit it with heat.

Looks like the pulley does not have a nub or threaded holes for a puller to engage. Gather a puller has to be used that engages the back side of the pulley outer diameter?

I guess I got lucky, the one on my GEP just slid off..

It’s a 50/50 thing, same as removing the clutch pulley on generators, 50% of the time they slide right off, the Other 50% requires some sort of intervention

NOTE to self: If the truck won't start after replacing the doghouse....

...put the shift lever back in Park.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.....

Yup, you're not the only one...

Installed new glass. Windshields we’re removed during demil.
ECV/Rev windshield retainers are dear $/hard to find. Used 998 style retainers and re-drilled using ECV retainers as a template. Came out very close with very little rework of a few holes.
Thanks to @Mainsail for letting me use his ECV retainer as a template.

Also put the new PS pump aside for a while having resigned myself to replacing it in one big maintenance cycle with the water pump. Took a chance and bled the system. Surprisingly found it worked and I have power steering operable now !

Found RF spindle loose. Geared hub maintenance and adjustment on the list…
Check those spindles folks!

I had a seep from the fuel filter drain at the spigot - wasn't sure if the valve was leaky or the line was bad. Got in there today and the line was cracked at the clamp. I was going to just snip off the broken bit and reconnect, but the other end was cracked as well. So off to the parts store for some 3/8" fuel line.

Stopped for lunch in Kingston for easily the best pizza in Kitsap.

Pulled off the doghouse and looked at the other two lines coming off the filter and the 3/8" was weepy as well. Changed that one and the 1/4" line as well.

Well @Mainsail , that time was well spent for sure. It isn't cool or sexy, but drippy fuel hoses these days could cost you dollars on every trip with $10.00 fuel. Not to mention the possibility of a fire...

Keyed fuel shutoff from Black Dog and drink holders.

Added rear view mirror. Bought off Amazon for a golf cart. This thing makes it so much better seeing what is behind and around you. It helps with the dreaded passenger mirror issue. Also added o-shit handles and an interior light. All off of Amazon on the cheap.

Adjusted and filled RF hub.
Maintenance by Military had not been completed. Steering arm bolts were hand tight. Bearing adjustment was loose. Hub was nearly empty. Gears, bearings and races looked great fortunately. Took the opportunity to also replace the spindle seal. Used a new lock washer.

Steering stop was all the way in. Used a digital compass to approximate 35 degrees swept per the TM. Close enough for now.

YIKES!!
Shows why a COMPLETE inspection/service is SO critical before showing off to the neighborhood!!!

NTD (New Tire Day)

Installed new rims and tires.. Painted the center caps to more suitable color for the humvee.

Went with the following:
Anthem Off-Road Viper 20x10 -18mm
Gladiator XComp XT 37x13.50 R20

Painted my NOS Ibis Tek bumper. First, cleaned bare metal then primed with RUST-OLEUM flat gray primer. Next, painted with BEHR ULTRA Exterior (flat) BASE 4854 tinted per recipe in photo below. Paint applied with 4” roller. Small brush used for limited access areas.
When dry, color matched perfectly with CARC on Humvee part not exposed to sunlight.

That looks really good

Upgraded to a lock that I actually have a key for
American Locks put up a good fight to the cut off wheel though.

The key switch I ordered arrived today- fast shipping too.

I got this switch and this mounting plate. I'll interrupt the neutral cutout line to prevent the vehicle from starting.

They makes two key switches like this, one where the key remains in the lock when switched on, and one that allows the key to removed in either position. I chose the latter.
