Make sure you put some lube on the back side (steel) of the pads or they'll squeal on you when you step on the brakes. I personally have always used Lubriplate white lithium grease but there are plenty of brands to chose from.
BTW, the allen head in the caliper slide screws is a 7mm. Not a...
Welcome to the forum! Hopefully all your going to need is a new Bendix gear. Still a PITA to change but infinitely less than a complete starter or a flywheel. $25 vs a couple hundred.
There is a rebuild kit but I don't think it consists of much more than a new fiction insert. When I did mine I found that the roller bearing that allows the shaft to move forward and backward was starting to pit and that was the cause of the problems I had. When I put everything back together...
If your alternator goes full bore it'll boil the electrolyte out of the batteries. Keep a close eye on the voltmeter and if it goes outside the green zone do not run the truck any longer than necessary. Regulators are usually available on Evay and relatively easy to replace. Make sure to blow...

The ambulance resusitator pack lives on the left front of the body and the cables route around inside the body itself. At least that's the way thet are in my M996A1. The wires in the picture are the feed to the ambulance body power distribution panel.
Something I discovered working on a friends M151 was that all turn signal switched aren't wired the same way. When we put a new switch in it the indicator lamp wouldn't flash but everything else worked. After some experimentation we found the lamp socket was wired backwards which won't affect...
This parts truck just showed up in a listing about: Introduction & warning in this forum. Isn't that the strap rack your looking for? You might PM the owner since he says he's going to scrap some of it.
