This is the tool you need to remove the pulley. It is pressed on. HTH.

Problem I see with that is securing the TT inside the container will be a challenge. My opinion, drive it. Enjoy the journey and make some fun out of it.

Well the new temporary ac line is in. next in the list will be the compressor that now has a leak and won't let me pull vacuum. I guess my ac project waits on a rock auto delivery now.

My 4.2 in my cj rusted a hole in the oil pan. Figure that out. However excluding the blow-by on my MJ, 2 out of my 3 online 6s don't leak. Lol

Put a new valve cover gasket on it. trying to stop yet another 4.0 from puking oil everywhere has me questioning my sanity. I just finished all new control arms front and rear. The bushings were in terrible shape. I'm assuming original arms and bushings. It's off to the alignment shop on Saturday to see how far off I got it. Lol

My sentiments exactly. I have never run into a need for anything other than stock replacements. Me personally I would put stock ball joints back in it and take it to the alignment shop of choice. Good chance it all goes green.

Dag nabbit your gonna go and spoil my ac surprise. Lol Thank you for the input on flood pentrol I'll check it out.

After 2 failed a1 cardone units, I finally bit the bullet and put in a new lares steering gear. Haven't driven it yet except around the driveway, but it already seems 100x better. I'm excited to test it on the road. Today's project will be finding the new front end clunk. It sounds to me like a loose track bar. Edit: I almost forgot the exciting news. I think I found a solution to the unobtanium ac hose......

Almost sounds like your wanting a car like ride with truck like hauling capacity. I'd say suck it up buttercup, trucks ride rough. Not much else to add, other than the capacity of the GS springs is real. My MJ will handle anything most half ton trucks will.

Look what I found..... I tried to document location and orientation for future reference.

I'll look at mine again today while I pull out the leaky cardone unit to replace it with a lares.....

Salvage title > no title. At least the salvage title will keep it on the road and out of the cruaher\parts bin.

When i swapped mine to external, there was an assembly available that was a master,slave,and the line connecting them already pre-bled. If it's still available it made the job much easier. Pretty much eliminated any fluid mess.

When I was taught to drive manual I was taught 1st to reverse. became habit to throw it in first to stop trans rotation, then on to reverse. Stops the grinding and easily becomes thoughtless habit in short order.

Hmmm. I just changed my steering box and never encountered this spacer....

I've never seen that piece. is it a non power steering only piece?

I would recommend treating the rest of the floors with some rust stop. The surface rust that is there won't get any better under carpet.

I have a set but need to check condition. I know at least 1 has broken studs. not sure on the exterior shape. I will check in a couple days.

More cj's on the forum is a good thing!!! Maybe I should get mine out and back in service......

If your plan is to replace the entire system you might want to look into the possibility of buying a complete setup already assembled and bled. I don't know if it's available still, or for your model. But when I replaced my external slave system they were. Kinda nice to have a factory assembly.

Well, I too had to look up what an oetiker clamp is. That led to a rabbit hole about hose clamps in general. It seems constant tension clamps are preferred in large temperature swing applications, due to their ability to maintain clamping pressure with the movement. After wasting an afternoon reading about all the different types of clamps and capabilities of them I begin to question why we have worn clamps. There seems to be a better option in every category one way or another.

Ugh what a day. Pics as promised. Couldn't tell you where I got the lug wrench, been too many moons ago. It all works well together especially when I add the battery impact in the mix. The spare tire tool is my custom concoction.

Crap. I forgot all about this thread. Pics incoming this morning......

Amen.

Hard to say WHY it only does it at speed. ANY play in the steering system from the steering wheel to the ground can cause problems. Manual or auto trans? Wonder if it's a clutch or transmission shudder? Not sure just kinda spit-balling ideas.
