    Hub/Brake Drum puller/installer

    I saw those a while back. They’re pretty slick! Expensive though! I do wonder if they would work with the rear hub/drum assembly? It seems that this dolly is design for the outboard style brake drum only.

    Hub/Brake Drum puller/installer

    I took one of my old 20" rims and made a hub/brake drum puller/installer jig that adapts to my floor jack. I cut the rim in half and removed some of the rim lip as to not interfere with the jack. I drilled a 7/8" hole at the bottom center of the rim half. I removed the jack's lifting plate and...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    There is an airline plumbed with a shutoff valve to the firewall left of the steering column above the clutch pedal. It is plumbed via the air manifold behind the instrument cluster that also supplies the air gauge, windshield wiper valve and trailer handbrake, if so equipped. I removed mine. My...

    Lexus vs M931 bobtailed, got rear ended

    Here's what mine looks like now plus some of the NATO reflective delineator decals, similar to the panels in the right photo, on the very bottom outer corners of the mudguards. It all lights up pretty bright at night.

    New clutch install help.M813

    Did you remove the three shipping bolts and washers on the new pressure plate? My pressure plate is different than that of the one in the TM. It came with instructions to remove those bolts. Here's my flywheel after machining over five years ago for reference. Sorry, but I can't give you...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    Wow! Sorry to hear about your stud misfortune! Glad no one was hurt! Here's my recent tire adventure... Back in February, I converted my M818 to Firestone T831 12R22.5's from Goodyear G177 11.00R20's. The two are comparable in size and the 12R22.5's are a hair less than an inch in diameter...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Hey, let me get six inches closer to that red light! MAYBE, I'll get there quicker! :roll::roll: You should have charged him a drayage fee! He was darn near coupled up to you!

    What are these two items

    The electrodes look like they may be fueler grounding stakes.

    need 150 mile tow Los Angeles to Ridgecrest, Ca. M932A2

    I've got a CDL B with no restrictions. I live nearby and am familiar with your start point. Upon my inspection of the truck, I can probably help you out. Those HAZMAT and radiation placards should be removed or covered. Insurance and registration would be paramount. Let me know.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    Good work! Hey, Brother, not trying to pick a nit here. However, I think we'd all feel a little better if you did not use a bottle jack for primary support while working under the beast. Please, use wood cribbing or a nice, hefty jack stand. We don't want to see any more statistics :shock...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    My 5 in. top stack came powder coated, but the coating started to let go. So, I had it sandblasted in addition to the heat shield (had a lot of old paint built up on it). I blacked out the whole system using a high temperature paint. That required removing everything all the way to the header...

    "Rescued" M816 Wrecker

    I tucked mine up against the crossmember directly above the trunnion. I fabricated a special bracket out of some 1/4" steel angle then drilled and mounted the bracket to the crossmember. Both the R-12 service relay and the SR-7 spring brake modulating valve were bolted to the bracket just low...

    DOT air line fittings?

    Yes, I have them all over my truck. I have only used the all brass types. All my brake system lines are DOT nylon and these fittings are much easier to work with. You will thank yourself for the transition. I would say say buy what you need with maybe a few extras. I get them from...
