Suregrip question

[themoparman73]

Hello Fabo family

I've been fighting with adjusting the axle end play for about 3 hours. I just removed my 294 non suregrip to 355 suregrip. I looked into the third member I see a spacer in the middle. Is there something I'm missing inside. Kinds stinks because I just put a new gasket on the thing.

Any info would be great.

Thanks

I'm running sock axles.

I think their is a difference between the two.
If you go Greens you can take it out and use your axles.
Fun huh?

What exactly is the problem? Fighting the end play how? Can't get it tight enough, or can't get it loose enough?

Clutch or cone suregrip?

Just to be sure....

1. You are using tapered OEM style bearings
2. Your center section has the button in the center and it was visable from both ends, AND it looked the same from both sides. Before it is installed it should look like a barbell
3. One side does not have an adjustable retainer
4. The other side does have an adjustable retainer.
5. You are following the procedure in the Facture Service Manual

You are probably missing the thrust button.

I don't have any pick but I bet Google does.

Oops, I do but they came from Google.

Pull your axles out and shine a flashlight in there. If you can see all the way through you are missing the buttons

How do you know you need one? You've never told us WHICH sure grip you have. The cone style does not use a thrust button. The clutch style does.

 

[themoparman73]

Will do. I'll let you guys know. Thank you everyone for your input.

Clutch type, Dana Powerlock. It needs the thrust button. Like Mike said, take both axles out and if you can see through the center of the unit, the thrust block is missing.

10 bucks says the thrust button the drivers side is in the bottom of the housing

 

[Dana67Dart]

Looks like clutch type to me.

Also some thrust buttons have instead of a roll pin a rivet of sorts that is peened in place

Those things are the devils work! It doesn't take but once to learn that lesson, and will change even a hard head like mine's to rethink Green Bearings.

I assume you looked in the bottom of the housing, then?

Tip of the day. When you go to install the thrust button assembly, coat it liberally with wheel bearing grease and install it. The grease will keep it from falling out.
