So I just spent 12 hours under the jeep. That was the time it took me to
Pull the axle
pull the gears and destroy my lollipop for the ARB, then destroy a few brass fittings:twak:.
eat lunch
go to the store for more brass fittings
get home and unpack new lollipop, realize it is the wrong model:flamemad:.
Use acetelyene torch to unsolder lollipop stub, cut tube and resolder... With resin core. too much solder, had to drill out center with a very tiny drill bit and a pair of pliers to twist:smoker:.
Assemble diff, get a decent pattern, set backlash, begin tightening up, break lollipop stem where I got it too hot while soldering:conceited.
disassemble diff, unsolder and resolder lollipop tube, looks professionally done now
.
stick a plug in the giant hole that was drilled in the wrong place for the air line:twak:.
Drill a hole in the diff cover and ghetto run air line through cover:anon:.
seal diff cover.
un install broken stub shaft bearing holder togetherers..
re-install axle
re-install brakes, control arms, steering, etc.
route hose
eat gumbo
ghetto rig switch and regulator, test....it works, but leaks.
redo all brass fittings with teflon tape (grease doesn't work btw)
test, it works.
fill diff with synthetic fluid.
try to crank jeep, but after listening to the radio all day, not running it for 2 weeks, leaving my GPS plugged in for 2 weeks, and filling my air tank twice the battery doesn't have quite enough juice to start:confused1.
5 minutes on a charger and she's running again. 2 selectable lockers functional. 10 minute drive to test gears out and all is well, no noise. I'll have lockers for Barnwell.
