I started a little bit on tearing down the front axle. I did manage to get one of the locking hubs off. Only had one cap screw that rounded out on that hub. Then I was off to town to get an axle nut socket, and then got the spindle and brakes off. I had then found I need a Ball Joint Spanner Wrench. I'm using info off of Mr. N's 44 page for the tear down. http://77cj.littlekeylime.com/Mr.N44.htm#The I had to order from Napa # 278-2030 and will be here tomorrow You can see the inner ball joint preload nut here So far about 3 hours to get one side this far Also, today I did a little horse trading. Traded my Lincoln 185 tig for a Thermal dynamics 180 Tig/Arc and a Hypertherm 30 Plasma cutter and bought a Lincoln 180 HD Mig. They will be coming next week. I should be set-up for the cutting and welding for the project pretty good now. |

I ended up just buying a cheap socket about the same size and cutting some teeth in it. Eric |
