Hi Jason. How are you doing? My name is Edman and I would like to ask you about this steering wheel installation on a Universal Steering Column. How it would be possible? Would I have to buy a 3 holes adapter and drill the 3 holes on this steering wheel? I have already the Column, but I like this steering wheel shape. Thank you Mate!
This is a good video for the most part. My problem is at 2 min 36 sec he's putting the bearing on with the snap ring towards the threaded end of the shaft. For over a min , it's like this. At 3 min 49 sec it has been turned around. I had to get a puller and remove the bearing. At least least let everyone of the mistake.
You didn’t make a mistake. There is no mistake in the video either. The orientation of the bearing does not matter. Some bearings have snap ring grooves, some do not. Not snap ring is used. You do not have to pull it and flip it. We mention this in the video description after the first comment on this topic. Thanks. 👍
these are also good as your torque being applied is as close to the threads as possible...if you use the double nut method you are wasting energy twisting the stud before the torque acts on the threads making you have to apply more torque which then exceeds the threads ability to withstand it and it breaks off 1/4 inch inside the block....which then necessitates a whole new set of tools and skills.
Just was about to get a kit from my late grandpas cj3a and this sure helps with the rebuild a ton. I'm used to snowmobile carbs and this is a bit more complex. Thanks for the video!
Any tips on getting a reliable oil filter cover gasket placement and tightening? I have had a number of incidents where it does not appear to leak initially but an hour or more later it will leak, sometimes a lot. I now keep a few quarts in the passenger seat storage but I would prefer it be reliable, and not a mess to clean up. (1959 CJ3b, f-head)
I recently picked up a cj2a with the hydraulic pump on it in place of the oil filter and there is no filter on it. Is there a kit to put one on? Or what would you recommend?
Question : in your video here you say the center post is the sending wire unit wire . But then you start pointing your finger around and I don't understand which is positive and which is negative ?
There used to be what Dad called a "Jeep Graveyard" in Douglasville, Georgia, or some other place just off of I-20 between Atlanta and the Alabama/Georgia State Line. They still had military replacement engines in military metal shipping & storage containers. And Jeeps everywhere. They had a CJ-2A that I would have bought if I had any money back then (early-to-mid-'80s) because it had the PTO attachments for both snow plowing and post(?) hole digging (drilling). I bought some replacement leaf springs and, if I remember correctly, some of the brackets that rivet to the frame for attaching the leaf springs for my CJ-2A (early model). I still have it, but at the moment it is a basket case! :(
Seth, I just bought a complete front disc kit from Kaiser and a dual master cylinder. do i still need proportion valve since the rear is a drum brake. i noticed you used a single master cylinder reservoir, anyway, you have a great tutor video and well presented. thank you, Bob
Hi Bob, I have done a lot of testing on this topic. While companies generally recommend a rear proportioning valve I have not found them to be critical. A residual valve for the rear would be a good idea since you still have drum brakes. I do have a video showing the dual master install on the Jeep shown in this video. Hope this helps. 👍
Cool video I’m about to strip my MB steering box and this should help with rebuild ,I tried to remove the steering tub but this was hard to do and I didn’t want to damage it so I’ve left it for another day when I find a full steering box strip down video of this procedure
Thank you Jason! Btw, any recommendations on gasket sealant? My cap and head surface aren't so shiny and machined, so have a concern with coolant leaking.
