there ya go bro. side issues are a major distraction right now. RR

one thing I read from way back is to orient it so the zerk is being compressed rather than pulled apart. keep stress crack from starting I would assume. RR

Ok 45 lbs it is. I think I will get some good shims with a 3/8 hole & a long enough bolt to go thru the shim & engage the perch. thank guys, much appreciated. RR

very good info. I will get after it, thanks guys. RR

this housing has a hole the exact dia of the 3/8 bolt & the height of the bolt matches the thickness of the pads (both even). not sure how the holes in these shims I have got rounded out (came from an old stash) but maybe the ubolts will have enough clamping to keep the shims in place???

these shims are old/worn with the holes oblong that came from an old stash & you got me thinking that I should just get good ones with the lip. where should I go to purchase em?

8&3/4 leaf springs/race app. right now the top nub of the center bolt sticks up maybe 3/8", just enough to engage the perch(s). If I add tapered shims to correct pinion angle the nub would engage the shim but not high enough to engage the perch. will the ubolts have enough clamping to hold it...

OK I will tap em. if they dont free up significantly I will take em apart & reassemble. thanks guys. RR

I just had my driveshaft shortened/balanced. the ujoints in their travel seem way too tight but they told me that is OK, I've seen others that are smooth all the way thru. what do you guys think? & if I need to do something on this? thank you for your time. RR

its looking like I cannot find knurl ones that are long enough for me to use the (Mrrandy) tie down plate. I may have to forgo that for now (especially since I cant find Mrrandys site to order the plate). RR

Thanks Garrett, all I have to do now is find the ones with the right length. RR

^^^ those may work. I emailed them to see if the length of em will work for me. thank you. RR

I found AMK but could not find an 1/2-20-3"- 8" or longer knurled set. I will call an axle shop, thank you. this is a dirt track car so I do need the best. RR

what is AMK (I will try & google it).

thats good to hear Mike. yes I heard the ubolts do have a lighter torque than you would think for that item. RR

for an 8&3/4. I have a set of ubolts from Mancini that have the flattened side on the inside of the radius but they were not long enough. I just ordered a set of longer ones but they do not have this flattened area, mancini calls it a gripper pattern & said that these will not present a problem...

for an 8&3/4. the 7 inchers I bought that are in there now have the smoothed radius in the curve which I thought was a plus but are a bit too short & will not let me use Mrrandyj's tie down plate(s) and does anybody know how to contact him?. thank you for your time. RR

got it, thanks guys I will find a longer one & clamp the springs in 2 places before I unbolt. RR

the round nub at the top of the leaf spring center bolt is just tall enough to fit the thickness of the perch. If I add a shim the perch will not be engaged. How do I get around this? thank you for your time. RR

I've always considered the FSM the ultimate guide for procedures but on this one Ehrenberg has hit it out of the field. tricks for unlocking the large locknut on the rear face & other good info. just need a inch lb torque wrench and a 11/16 12 point socket and 2 1/4-20 screws and a large...

if you can locate a copy of feb 1999 mopar action (ebay?) it has an excellent comprehensive article on working the manual steering box. RR EDIT just found one on ebay for $6.99

I drilled a 1/2' access hole in the rear at the top of the curvature (IMCA rules) & added a slight bit. the nose got tilted down as I was manuevering things so I'm sure the nose area at the front of the pinion got lubed then with it bolted in I turned the gears backward/forward a few times to...

In addition I would have the wheels straight ahead/steering wheel in the middle of its travel & turn the wheel lightly back & forth to see how much play is in the box itself. 2 easy adjustments on the box but you might need a special tool to undo the big round lock ring on the rear face of the...

if a quart will do it I can do that

I jumped the gun & brakekleened the pumpkin well before I was ready to lift it up/in. it in now & my Q is can I fill the housing up & not have it leak out the housing end(s). I don't want the pumpkin to rust. I dont have the axles yet but the end seals are in place. thank you for your time .RR

I had jumped the gun & took the old ones out but I will measure the small lip & I will pack em with grease. RR

thanks bro, I'm getting ready to do one. RR

do you drive these in a certain distance or is there a step that you reach? thank you for your time. RR

^^^ that's quite a difference & the 7/16ers would be smaller yet. RR

good info, alright guys I am convinced, I will upgrade these axles to 1/2" studs. thank you! Ron White is quite a character. RR
