I used the grease method. I actually used vaseline, I put it in the freezer to harden it up. Seemed to work ok.

Skinny has a point about a block. I kinda forgot about that when I made my post.

The Warn 8274 is a great winch. I don't think it's enough for a M1009 though. According to Warn you want at LEAST 1.5x the GVWR. If I recall correctly the GVWR for a M1009 is 6400 lbs. Multiply that by 1.5 and we get 9600 lbs. So a 9500 lb winch would be the minimum you would want. If it...

I'm with dependable on this. A real bad idea. Repair the wheel well and battery trays and put them back under the hood.

Thanks 11Echo. I didn't even know there was such a tool. I'm gonna try to avoid taking apart the fuse box but I'm gonna try to get a set of this picks.

This what I have: http://m.advanceautoparts.com/mt/shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_qd&174;-electronic-cleaner-crc_7070074-p?searchTerm=qd+electric+contact+cleaner It doesn't seem to get the contacts bright and shiney like I thought it would. It blasted out all the...

Terminal pick? I've never heard of one. I have a pick set and a few dental picks, one of those should work. Is there anywhere that shows how this is done maybe with some pictures? What are your thoughts on using a product like CLR?

So I really hate to dig up an old thread but posting this question here seemed appropriate. So I got a fuse box and harness off of a friends part truck he was scrapping. Its in really nice shape and I'm trying to clean all the connectors and the fuse box. Is there any way to remove the brass...

Yeah, that was a cool video. I remember hearing about his original truck getting stolen, good to see he got a new one.

I like the all green doors. Nice job!

Yeah it seems like it did. I still have to do the hoses. It was a long weekend I didn't want to open a can of worms.

I installed new calipers and checked up on my freshly rebuilt hub. Still gotta do brake hoses on the front and maybe a piece of hard line or two.

Put everything back together today. New brakes, hubs, u-joints, spindle bearings, seals, one spindle and bearings. Drove it home 25 miles and the hubs felt really hot so I think my calipers are stuck somehow. They were really hard to expand when I put new pads on. So I'm gonna do them in the...

Alright, most of your questions have been answered many times over. I suggest searching the site or using Google. READ THE TM'S!!!!! Everything a Cucv owner ever needs is in the TM'S. I suggest getting a grasp on how the glow plug system operates by reading this...

You have to have a way to bleed the air from the system. Add a valve of some sort.

Got my new spindle, bearing and seal kit for the other side and spindle nuts and washers.

Changed a u joint while waiting on my spindle to show up.

Cool. Thanks. No rust on mine just really nasty grease. I'm gonna add some pictures to this thread detailing the bearing removal and install. To make it a little more useful for everyone else.

Correct. But I'm referring to the bearing inside the spindle. Just to the outside of the u-joint, its a needle bearing that rolls on the stub shaft. Appears that it presses into the backside (inboard side) of the spindle. I know you need a pliot bearing puller to get it out.

Alright, I've searched high and low looking for the answer to my question. I have to replace the passenger side spindle on my Blazer, the threads are significantly damaged. So I'm going to replace the drivers side spindle bearing for good measure. Ive never done this before and have read that...
