Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i blew up a d44 wheel bearing and had one hell of a time finding a replacement, pix will be up soon

Really? I found new D44 wheel bearings and everything really easy. I actually got the retainer plate, seal, bearings, and retaining collars from Jeff at Crown.

all the ones that i could find were single unit bearings i had a tapered roller bearing on mine and a race is pressed into the tube, i found some by searching it here though

i have a cragar colin can buy cheap off of me. i was saving it for if i ever needed it... but he needs it more than me. i can have my dad bring it to work. it's basically brand new.

I have one he can have for free if he dismounts it off the 37" ssr it's on. It's brand new, ran on my jeep for less than a week. Colinnn?

Haha. This time (and I think the 1st) he wasn't the one that started it...
Either way, no big deal to me.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

those are the hubs? i imagine you're getting the ones on the right... let them soak in gasoline for a while. then look at how bad they really might be and regrease them.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Thats a Warn premium hub on the left, and thats a solid drive flange on the right.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Well, at least thats what the drive flanges from a '74 Wagoneer look like. These vehicles don't have manual lockouts. (I have a set of those in my back as spares incase I blow up one of my Warns.

This is what my original lock outs looked like when I was tearing the axle apart. I used gasoline and boy did those clean up nice. Nice enough to be able to tell that they were broken.

jim, how's your work day going?

Boring as hell, except for the movie I watched but I couldn't take a nap because people kept coming upstairs and it was raining so hard I thought I was under a waterfall.

As far as I knew, the D44s all used the tapered roller bearings. Thats what I have on mine.

And holy damn, thats not right. That must have been howling before that happened. Mine were making horrible noises, and they looked fine from a quick visual inspection.

didnt make any unusual noises of vibrations, my pinion bearing is whining but thats going when i get regeared and its been doing it for a while. i was almost off the wells river exit on 91 yesterday and i heard an intermittent grinding, i thought my brake adjuster came off again so i said screw it ill deal with it in the am

im glad i didnt drive too long on that the races were still ok
