Anybody in south bay able to help me reassemble the 30?
got a carrier from seal and some setup bearings from twinhauler .. cal set me up with some fresh bearings and shims..
very appreciative of this community.. amazing how generous people can be.

If nobody's able to help me out.. (shooting for Saturday) I am just gonna try my best on my own. I think I can.

I would start by using the shims from the old carrier. That should get you close. Remember to put them back onto the same side fo the carrier they came off. Then adjust for proper backlash and pre-load.

Ok good tip thanks Bryan

If you where closer i have a dial indicator , 20 ton press, inch poind torque wrench, 300 lb torque wrench, digital micrometers you could use. What day are you doing this ? I miggt be driving through santa cruz this week...maybe for some hangout times with Lisa

Only thing I don't have Is a press

 

[831_xj]

But do I need a big press for carrier bearings? I didn't think I did

 

[twinhauler]

Press would work the best. Or freeze carrier and warm bearing in oven and get them on. I hear that works. Might have to still hammer them a little bit. Let me know when your gonna be in campbell area so you can grab the set-up bearings and those ball joints

 

[knucklehead 61]

i've got a press here you can use if you want.

 

[831_xj]

I might have to take you up on that. I didn't even touch it today. Been lazy. Tomorrow I'm gonna try an work on it.

 

[Skipper51]

So how did it go Patrick? Get it all put back together?

 

[831_xj]

I actually didn't even touch the jeep really. Was working on finishing up the gf heater core in her zj.

I plan on tackling it today after work. Hopefully it goes well

 

[twinhauler]

Good luck. I am actually working on my heater core too. Hopefully have it out tonight.

Slapped the carrier in for a trial run. .. .032 backlash lol

Carrier was fairly difficult to get out so I think I have nearly the right amount of preload. Just need to mess with the shims. Have to pull the original bearings and use the setups provided from twin hauler. Hopefully that doesn't mess with my readings too much.

Ordered the ruffstuff spindle and a latch off Amazon. Tire carrier should be am easy one to do.

On a side note... My housing got a bit chewed up. Might have to dremel it smooth or something to get a seal in.

 

[blondejoncherokee]

Which latch?

 

[831_xj]

Can't recall brand but it was a 2k lb draw latch
