I did not replace the gasket under the nut as it wasn't and isn't leaking there. It actually looked new. The filter went in the way it came out which is the was it is shown in the TM. I have done it 3 times with 3 different seals and can't get it to stop. How would it get tweaked? Isn't it...
UPDATE: Filter is still seeping. Even with the new gasket. I pulled it off again and used a gasket from the WIX filter that I got from the parts store. It is flat and wide and made of gasket material instead of the square rubber ring that Deuceman sent me, and it is still seeping. Does anyone...

Yea, it wasn't your fault. Or even a faulty gasket. It was just mechanics error. I do know that the housing did not spin when I tightened it. It must have just not sealed up when I set the housing on there or I pinched it. No harm no foul. I don't know yet even the new seal even worked. I...
I was going to do that aswell but I am going to flip the hubs here in July so I decided I would do it all then. This was just to stop the leaks and repack the bearings.

No. I do know it was working this morning. Sometimes it is rather loud. So I think I will just buy that pump that ODIron has for 100$ and be done. It is just a toy anyways so being original is not important to me.
That is what i want to do. But at almost 500$ to do all the filters I think If...
Ok so I figured I would inform ya'll of my little mishap. I ordered all the filters for the Deuce from Deuceman and got them in yesterday. I proceded to change all the filters last night. I got the 2 secondary filters changed without a hitch. They were filthy and had about 2 inches of sediment...
Thats why I used 6 ton jack stands. Thats 24,000# capacity. And I only jacked one axle at a time. I think that is more than sufficient. And then I used a 10 ton low boy jack to jack it up. Whatever works, that works safely.

I didn't replace the seals. I just replaced the cork keyway deal with RTV. And the hubs were only warm to the touch after driving 10 miles at almost 60 mph. That was with the bearing torqued to 50 ft. lbs. while someone was spinning the hub and then backing off 90 degrees.

You will need a 1 1/2" socket for lug nuts, then a 1" square socket for the bud stud/lugnut thing. You will need a 3" 8 sided socket (Napa or Oreilly P/N KD2445- KD TOOLs brand) for the spindle nuts. 3/4" socket for the axle flange nuts. And a chisel or punch to bend the teeth on the lock washer...
Make sure you have a big impact. And some PB blaster. I had a few lug nuts not wanna come off. I actually had to get a torch and heat 4 of them up to get them off. Other than that it went real smooth. Oh and a big torque wrench to crank out 325 ft. lbs. for the lug nut torque, 90 ft. lbs. for...
:) Just wanted to say I pulled all the hubs off of the rear. I cleaned the shoes, bearings, hubs, and drums. Repacked the bearings and gooped up the keyways to hopefully prevent them from leaking again. It really wasn't that bad of a job with the proper tools. Took me and one other guy 4 hours...
Well like someone previously said, try State Farm. I don't live there any more, nor did we have any out of the ordinary vehicles but we had them when we lived there. Insurance on the Deuce through them is only 3.67$ a month. And that has no stipulations. They have pictures of the truck...
I do give ya'll mad props for going the extra mile to make models to demonstrate how it works. I think I understand now. I still believe if I was that stuck to need to do that I would just find something to pull me out. That seems like alot of work. But thanks for the explanations none the less.

You know thats what I thought when I looked at the diagram. I suck at geometry and physics, but my "mathologically" smarter friend assured me it would work. I don't see it.

Edit* After staring at the picture I think I see it now. :)
I kinda know what your going through minus the amputation. I have a plate and several screws in my shoulder front riding dirtbikes. Something happened that I couldn't avoid. Good luck in a speedy recovery.

That video was kinda hard to see. Did you have a snatch block on the back bumper? And does it not hurt the cable and/or axles with them all rubbing against each other under that much tension?
