Pete M Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 hey, do you remember the socket size for the transmission crossmember bolts? I've discovered my knee won't let me get down on the ground in the barn to check my own truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've discovered my knee won't let me get down on the ground in the barn to check my own truck. If I remember correctly the crossmember-to-frame bolts are M10x1.25 so they would be 17mm.

Pete M Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 it's possible that studs are in a separate box than all-thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse J Posted August 22, 2021 Author Share Posted August 22, 2021 hardened studs came (thanks pete!) trans should go in tomorrow. should I grease the inside of the bushing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 I would soak it in gear oil overnight. but essentially the metal of the bushing itself is your lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scaleless Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Pilot bushings are made from oil-impregnated bronze that release oil from microscopic pores as they wear down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse J Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 thats so cool. got it in today mostly headache free! just need to do all the accesories and then do the pedal and master asembley and it will be "driving". I did already break 2 bits trying to drill the old roll pin out of the old master so I can use the clutch line with my new master. also I still can seem to figure out the "quick disconnect" fitting on the slave side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Use your broken drill bit as a punch and punch out that roll pin. Don't try drilling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
