Lots of different stuff there, lots of mogs, pinzs, etc...even a few haflingers. If all goes well, I'll be there with the 700AP, probably the last run for me.
I'm sure Jim LaGuardia will be there too, hopefully others.

Re: Trail ready! CV joint entertainment....
That's a nice set up, John! Mine was simple enough, just took some threaded rod about 5" long, nut at the bottom to secure the rod into the pin, nut at top, spanner right underneath the top nut, and swing a hammer upwards into the spanner to pull the pin out. Poor mans slide hammer. If I'd both...

Trail ready! CV joint entertainment....
Nice and dry.... Trail ready.jpg I'll probably just clean it out, regrease it, and see how it feels. Have to save the large strap for the boot too, I don't want to use the supplied metal strap. Either way, should have it back together today. Hardest thing was getting the top pin out, had to redneck ...

Re: Well, nothing like a SoCal car show!
LOL @ the lines comment. Yes, it was a good show, around 300 vehicles. Unfortunately I missed an even larger one several days ago, concentrating on British and German cars. Would have been fun to park next to something like an Isetta, and do a microcar comparison. Probably the last shows I'll attend...

Re: Hub gearset have to be broken down to change CV boot?
Feel is the same, but being thicker, the CV boots might well last longer. The shift lever boot immediately rotted on the very thin rubber layer, and I don't think that the CV boots have this. At least I'm hoping not. Time will tell.

Re: Hub gearset have to be broken down to change CV boot?
Well, I'm hoping that the boots aren't the same quality as the shift lever rubber, that's for sure. If they don't last I might just try those expensive split boots that use a bonding agent to seal. Either that or I'll say the heck with it and find a pair of fully enclosed later model CV joints.

Re: Hub gearset have to be broken down to change CV boot?
You're right, manuals....pffffft.
Good catch on the service interval, I never noticed that!
Yah, I'll post pictures when it's over.

Re: Hub gearset have to be broken down to change CV boot?
John - usually the only way that the CV really has problems is when the boot actually rots, and then you get contaminants in. If the boot is in good shape, that grease will last years. Garry - I really like that cling wrap idea! I'm going to have to start carrying something like that, or a trash bag...

Re: Hub gearset have to be broken down to change CV boot?
Nope, this is a Series 1 Swiss truck, so it's basically just the CV cup, and then the rubber boot that gets two metal bands holding it on. No real space for running a grease fitting, other than right into the CV itself, but those are harder than hell to drill and tap. Eventually I'll probably upgrad...

Re: Hub gearset have to be broken down to change CV boot?
Good God this thing is filthy. How's that for an update? Actually it's gone pretty smoothly, had to thread a 1/4-20 bolt in 7x0.75, but that was about the only sticking point. CV is pretty filthy too. Good I'm doing this now, I think I can save it. I might get it back in and assembled today, then ma...

Re: Hub gearset have to be broken down to change CV boot?
Thanks guys, yeah Garry the photobucket pics are gone.
I'm getting the urge to get into the teardown today, just pulled the wheel and brake drum off to take a peek. Threw some penetration oil on various threads and now I'm going to start scrubbing it down to prep for pulling.

Re: Hub gearset have to be broken down to change CV boot?
That's basically what I thought, however some threads mention breaking down the hub to release the shaft. It's basically like most other transmission work, be careful of seals and surfaces, etc. Thanks for the clarification, I still don't think I'll tackle this before the car show in early August th...

Hub gearset have to be broken down to change CV boot?
I'm seeing varied techniques for this job, but in looking at the books, and forum posts I'm not seeing why the hub trans has to be disassembled to replace a CV boot, or service the CV joint? Can I just pull the upper and lower joints, and pull the entire assembly off, then do the work on the boot an...

Regarding the CV joint boots...split boots?
Wild stab in the dark here, but has anyone sourced split boots for the CV joints? I've come across some that are close, dimensionally. They might help stave off some contamination, at least for a bit until I get the bits to do a full front end tear down and rebuild. If anyone has found specific ones...

GLWS, I'll need to look into those Bighorn style tires eventually. DOT rating is nice, though.

Re: My Hafy project is complete
For some reason, I think I've seen those seats in agricultural catalogs.
Might even have been in the Northern Tool catalogs.
