Hi All,
After spending my last weekend refurbishing the rear axels, bearings,
u-joints, etc only to find that one of the 'new' axels I got off of a
'78 had a slight bend that I didn't catch with the straight edge but
was VERY evident when turning the axel when re-attached (ARGHHH!!!!)I
have decided to move on to a few more petty thing for a while. One of
them being to install my ne gearbox cover from TRF so I don't get my
feet wet THIS winter.
The installation, of course, is straight foward enough but my question
to y'all is this: In your experience, what have you found to be the
best heat shield for the inside of the cover, how did you attach it?
Also, I was wondering if anyone had an opinion as to wether or not it
would get hot enough to melt if I went ahead and put it in until I
Found a suitable solution?
Thanks,
David
BTW FWIW: I noticed a sort'a uprising in the spit' hubs again(maybe it
was on the big list). When I pulled mine off, I made a tools simialar
to a gear puller on steroids. It took me only 10-15 minutes per hub.
I had to do 4 of them (two were on the car and two were off). I am
just greatfull I didn't read the posts before I tried to do this!
Anyway, I just sent it to Jeff Monks down in Florida to let him try it
out. If he had the same luck with it as I had I was considering
passing it around to people on the list for a while IF there was any
interest. Has anyone else come up with a easy way to remove them?
