I saw these along with some Chevrolet trucks and suburbans at Ft Knox during the Armor Conference in the summer of 2000. They said they were prototypes however some units would receive them for field testing. I remember them being just stripped down work truck models. I never even asked if they...

Well guys after all this time it looks like I finally have a working CUCV again! Thanks for all the help. I just hope my repairs were done right and I won't have to mess with the hubs or anything again.

Well the crappy thing is that I installed the seals on the bottom of the hub so now I have to pull those put. I hope I can get them out without damaging them. Last time I just used a flat head screw driver and pried them out. Any tips on that would be welcomed.

Looking at some videos online I'm thinking I didnt grease the wheel bearing enough. I'll probably pop those out and put some more in there just to be safe.

15 mph slower or faster?

I do have a Chilton manual but it's schematic and instructions on this section are very vague. I'll try to find a Haynes manual today and see if it's any better. Tonight I clean the old spindle that was good and will be putting it back on. I'll let everyone know how it's goes. Hopefully I'll...

I think you're talking about some lines left from a greased bearing being put in?

How thick is the steel? Edit to add: Just did a search on ebay for " cucv winch" and "cucv bumper" and didn't see one.

Videos say a million words....

On my new hubs it wouldn't have races in it would it? Also do the inner bearing use races?

Here it is. The bearing fits inside of it. I understand what a race is but I'm not seeing one in the parts that I took out of the bad hub or the good one. Seeing as how bearing fit more than one vehicle I just want to make sure it's not something that is used for one vehicle but not another.

I did just a tad bit of welding and was able to get the axle in no problem. I had to buy new rotors as the older ones had been turned once and were near their minimum width. I wound up having to get a new hub too! Anyhow I'm getting everything together and just have quick question on the...

Well what's interesting is that the other side fits just fine. It's just the drivers side that doesn't want to go in. I'm going to hit the knuckle with a dremel tool very lightly just to knock off the slight surface rust and grime and then maybe put a little grease on there and see if that helps.

They are fully seated with the snap rings seated. I will try and dig some of the old bearing cups out of the trash but if I remember correcty they were a little shorter. Edit to add: It will be next week before I get back to it. I am out of town for training starting tomorrow. The wife...

Nobody?

A new video and a new question:

You'll have to get a bracket for the compresor. You may be able to buy just the bracket and belts from OD Iron.

Please do. I'm sure all of us would love to see them.

Ok this time I'm really going to make it. It will be cold though so I plan on sleeping in the truck with a heater! Are they cool with campfires?

I'd stay away from the solid composite abrasives as well and go with a flap wheel disc and then polish smooth by hand with paper or pad.
