87 Comanche 4X4 Problem


Recommended Posts

found great YouTube vid for replacing the seal, here is the link, still don't know if that will take the play out 

 

 

and i pray its not the pinion bearing.

 

if so i know the main procedure to do it, once you press the new bearing onto the pinion shaft and put the crush collar on you slide the pinion gear into place in the axle, after the new races have been installed of course. you put the other bearing in then the seal, slide the yoke on and tighten that nut to torque which will crush the collar, is that it? i want to make sure the pre-load is right and pinion to ring is correct.

Ok looked over the front driveshaft and you were right cruiser, one of Ujoints were bad, another thing though is there is play in the yoke on the front diff, with oil slowly coming out, so the seal needs replacing but will that fix the play, and is there a crush collar as well?

 

this is not mine this is a ref. picture, basically the yoke can move up and down

What kind of play? Up and down?
