Cone Sure Grip Resurrection
Here are some examples of unusable parts.
Here is a sure grip cone that's something's happened to on the inside of the carrier. Something came apart evidently and beat the sides all up. I could probably dress is with a dremel and file and reuse it but, since I have some that aren't damaged like this, those are what I am going to use.
Kinda obvious we caint use this side gear.
We have two spider gears like this. Obviously unusable.
Here is the cross shaft that I was able to remove the two spider gears from that I am going to use. We really got lucky here, Chris. Of course, this shaft is scrap metal now.
This is one of the case halves the cross shaft above came out of. I've thought about trying to have these bushed when they do this, but I am uncertain it would work, since the case halves are made to come apart......so again.......scrap metal.
Now, Chris, here is where we really got lucky and dodged a bullet. These are the spider gears I am going to use. I SOAKED these bad boys down with Deep Creep and let them sit a while. Then slowly pressed the gears off the cross shaft. Worked pretty good. Although it appears they are galled, they are not. All of what you see in the bores is imbedded metal from the cross shaft. In other words, it's metal buildup, not pitted, which we can work with. Some honing with a brake cylinder hone will have these good as new.
