    M813 leaking front axle

    One more thing. Is the long portion of the axle easy to guide back into the differential? It looks like you could beat up your new axle seal....especially if the spline is stubborn to get back in place.

    M813 leaking front axle

    That's great info, pic and videos!! I have zippered boots. Do I seal the zipper? I'm just gonna tear it all down, replace the axle seal and pack the steering joint with new grease. I'm tired of it leaking down the tire onto the ground.

    M813 leaking front axle

    It leaks while sitting. Not brake fluid. I'm fairly certain it's the new 80w90 I put in the differential. The rubber boot is shot. That is where it leaks. I had the hub and brake drum off to do the wheel cylinders and pack the bearings last year. How hard is it to get the inner axle seal...

    5 ton cummins thermostat seal

    That's interesting. The seal with the 201737 thermostat is a metal clad lip seal. The parts book shows it going in the housing before the thermostat.

    Threw a Torque Rod today

    Guys these torque arm bushings are hard work ....but far from rocket science. The top four are the hardest to get to break free. I machined a wedge that went from .1875 (3/16") to .4375 (7/16") out of cold rolled plate the slot just cleared the radius in the root of the bushing. I used a...

    Pressing Torque Rod Ends In/Out

    These inserts had been in since the truck was painted last as the paint matched the truck. They were a little tough as expected to get to make the first move. They broke free with the normal "bang" and came right out. I can't imagine a 50 ton press being needed. You could press out the center...

    Pressing Torque Rod Ends In/Out

    Yeah there is absolutely no access to hit the inside of the frame in that area. The torque arm completely covers that area. You also can't hit the end of the insert on the outside because the spring plate Is in the way. My wedge idea and driving rod worked like a champ especially for a first...

    Pressing Torque Rod Ends In/Out

    I just removed and replaced my upper torque rod inserts on my m813. The center two were tough to budge. I ended up milling a wedge out of 3/8" plate. The small end was around .187 . The slot was 2.250 wide and 2.5 deep. I ended up driving the wedge with a piece of 1.25 cold roll round bar. I...
