the never ending story, just ended

[Unglar]

going down to buy a output shaft seal for my ax-4 will post some pics after its installed

 

How about pics of the seal install? :-)

[MancheKid86]

not installed but...

I'm begining to think lordco people don't really know what they are doing,

they gave me the wrong seal

 

so i got pics of half the seal replacement done.

its pretty simple, just need a seal puller and well the seal, and gear oil

 

reading my trusty repair manual :huh???: :shake: i know unheard of right?

 

parts and tools

 

leaky seal

 

my new fold-able creeper i got for $10

 

another random pic of me, workin on my truck as soon as i woke up, lol no more oil leak

 

driveshaft out

 

all cleaned up

 

and seal out

 

and now time to put in the n.... wait a minuite...

I'm pretty sure that that isnt the right seal

 

so time for some random pics,

rotten rocker, the paint is holding the rotted metallic rust (metallic because more rust than metal)

and driveshaft yolk?

more too come, :D

[MancheKid86]

back down to lordco,

for the billionth time in a row,

ive been there daily,

they don't have my transmission seal so its being shipped up from Vancouver so it should be here by the morning time,

and once I'm off work i will install the seal, and post more picks, as well as a DIY for AX-4 output seal replacement

[Unglar]

Thanks for the pics and future write up. So that seal puller just hooks one side of the seal and pulls it out? Did it work good or could a flathead do the same job?

[MancheKid86]

tried a flathead first,

went back to lordco for a seal puller, out in 5 seconds :D

going to pick up the seal now, and when I'm off work ill post more pics :D

[kastein]

Seal puller is worth every cent. I have the same exact one :thumbsup: It just hooks behind one side of the seal, brace it against the other side and pry and shazam, out it comes. Only thing you have to be careful about is not nicking the seal mounting surface with the end of the hook.

 

That seal they gave you looks an awful lot like the one that goes on the output of the transmission if you have a transfer case. Ask for a replacement for OEM part number 8350 2118 and you will get the right one.

the people at lordco are just "Smart" S-M-R-T

:wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall:

people at lordco in vancouver are ever smarter,

they thought it would be a good idea to throw the wrong part into a box and send it out,

so when i went into lordco they told me someone pulled a fast one and just threw it in the box

I'm begining to be very very very annoyed,

so.... once again ill be waiting till tomorow to get my seal, and will install it after work

[freakjeep93]

why don't you try a different parts place?

[MancheKid86]

only one i got man,

otherwise i gotta drive into a diffrent town,

and i get 30-50% discounts :yes:

[freakjeep93]

kool i would definetly not try a different store then lol

[MancheKid86]

:headpop:

got the same part again,

people at lordco saying that it would work, ofcourse it won't... because its not for my transmission,

thank you, i brought that number in this morning just as a fail safe,

I'm glad i did, i told them i wanted that number and they were like what for??

grrr :fs1:

so... yet again tomorrow i will finish this thing,

thanks again kastein in advanced,

i hope that part will work for me :D

:popcorn:

[MancheKid86]

lol XD

just wait i got lazy yesterday and didnt upload the photos,

and i was at a private beach partying the day before

uploading them as i type

[MancheKid86]

epic fail,

i previewed it instead of posting XD

 

new one on the right

 

lube :)

 

in-place

 

and driveshaft back in

 

all filled up

 

new gasket

 

took a while but i got it in, not without messing it up first :fs1: , it has a little drip but it is driveable

no leaks when driving, thats what i was looking for :D

(EDIT: seems like leak is very little, no drips, just a bit of forming around the seal)

trying to fix my highbeams dash hazards and blinkers

so out with the old in with a few

 

fixin vacuum lines

 

thats right, clear :yes:

my old hot tub pump died so i used its clear vacuum lines and replaced what i could with clear ones,

first comanche with clear vacuum lines

 

doesnt look good? :???:

[MancheKid86]

:headpop:

lifted up my floor mats too find...

 

seems like this damned rust ate my anti rust paint for breakfast lunch and dinner XD

looks like i gotta get replacement floor pan XD previous owner put one in too

[freakjeep93]

must not have killed all the rust before painting. it doesnt look like you need a new pan just patch that one hole

[MancheKid86]

the P.O patched everything out except for that part,

it was inevitable i guess i only prolonged it, gives me an excuse to buy a welder and get my service upgraded for a plugin

[freakjeep93]

get a small mig it will plug into a standard 110 plug

[MancheKid86]

took my truck down to my sisters bf's dads work XD

fixed my blinkers hazards breaks and highbeams,

the fuse box was melted, jammed a new fuse in there XD fixed blinkers and hazards and breaks,

then worked on the light, missing a wire in the wiring harness o_O so we spliced a new one in :D didnt want to look for the old one :P

all that cost me to get it fixed was fuel in my tank and a bottle of gear oil for my tranny

 

sorry no pictures :oops: i didnt bring a camera with me

but no more electrical problems, just need to fix my leaky output shaft... again XD

going to a wrecker to find an original seal because i don't like messing around with the new metal ones,

[MancheKid86]

went to pick n pull today,

found a comanche!!

took pics of it, got the vin, will post in data base,

but look what i got :clapping:

 

the other pics are on a cellphone having issues getting transfered over,

i spent the last mins of her life with her XD literally :ack:

i only had enough time to get the taillights,

then they picked her up with there forlift and tossed her into the crusher :(

[MancheKid86]

got the lights installed :D

 

my rear bumper :yes:

 

cuting down to size

 

used what was left as brackets,

got creative to figure out bolt spacing, just some wet paper towel

 

all drilled

 

and how it will look in the end,

(i have tube that i will bend to shape and weld later on)

 

more too come

[MancheKid86]

close to getting her mounted on,

need 4 more screws and bolts,

here

 

and here

 

but this is how it will sit when it is finished,

it is very light, about 35 pound winch :D

 

and yes there is tail gate clearance

[wannabeMJ]

good job on the bumper

but I do beleive that it sits to low

[MancheKid86]

once i get the last on my bolts i will move the winch up as much as possible,

but that'll be after work in like 5 hours,

if my lady friend doesnt distract me that is :P

:D

[MancheKid86]

my drill died on me,

so i need to get a new one before i can finish the bumper,

but i got around to putting my new seal in today

 

 

no more leaks! (from the transmission that is :P )

but as i was under the truck i noticed that i think its time for some new bumpstops

 

testing the total blade i got for free,

it actually works :hmm:

 

and how she sits atm,
