I was wondering if you could help with with the front drums on my m916. I have the front drum/hub assembly removed to take to the machine shop to machine off the required material to fit my HEMTT wHeels with 16.00r20 tires. Is there a process for separating the hub from the drum to make it more manageable for the the machine shop or does the hub/drum assembly stay together the whole time. The TM did not go past this point?
Thanks
Thanks

When I did my m916, I did NOT separate them.
Machine shop had no problems turning them as an assembly.
I did take them a wheel to measure for clearance.
To answer your question, I believe the wheel studs are pressed in & hold them together. It's been awhile since I did them.
The 16.00's are nice they look like they belong on the truck stock.

My original post was on 1/6/2011. Exactly 8 years later I was on my way to pickup an M920 in NC. Dreams do come true.
How hard is the steering on a M916? I have a 1980 M916 with 16's that seems like I have to put a lot of effort into turning the wheel. For example making a right or left turn at an intersection requires some muscle. The only other vehicle I have to compare it to is my M1078 which you can turn with one finger on the wheel, but the M916 is a whole body effort! The power steering fluid level seems ok, there is fluid in the reservoir (maybe a couple oz. low), I need to check again when hot.

It shouldn't be very hard. I had a 917 and 920 with 16.00. I had to replace power steering pump on both and steered great
Did you rebuild the pumps or find replacements? Does anyone have a good power steering pump for sale?

I kept quite a few nos wear parts. Power steering pumps, alternator upgrades, shifters, trans, brake assemblies
How do I check freeplay in the cylinder? The grease fittings around it seem to be well lubed. The steering box is solid, no slop there.
Undo the tie rod and check movement sliding it in and out with the lines at the cylinder cracked open. old hoses connecting to the cylinder could be deteriorating inside causing a restriction or your steering pump is just getting weak
You can also cap those cylinder lines off and drive it and see how it does. I have mine capped off in my 920 and I run 445 65 22.5 steers and have a 16in steering wheel and mine turns fine
