Subject: Spindle nut removal on 4x4 Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 13:50:41 -0600 All, I am in the process of replacing the auto hubs on my 95 F150 with a set of Warn Premiums because one of them refuses to lock. The problem is when I removed the existing Auto hubs I found two different hubs, I guess one of them has been replaced at one time. One side has what I think of as the standard spindle nut setup with a nut, lock washer and a second nut. Each nut has four keyways in them and I have a tool to remove these nuts. The problem is the other side has what looks like a single round nut with holes all the way around it and a modified looking C clip bent on one end to lock it in place. I checked with the parts house I normally deal with and they don't have anything to remove it with. I think I have to replace this nut with the standard type to use the Warn hubs so I just need to get it off without damaging anything else. Does anyone know a good place to find this tool or a way to remove this nut without it? Thanks Rex ------------------------------ From: "Atkinson, Chip" <CAtkinson Circadence.com>
Subject: Re: Spindle nut removal on 4x4 Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 13:38:25 -0700 If you can get the c-clip thing unbent, you might be able to take a long punch and stick it in one of the holes and hit the side of the punch with a hammer while holding one end in the nut and the other end in your hand or on a jack stand or something. If the torque isn't too high on this lock nut, it might come free. Are the "holes" actual holes, or slots? On the Dana 50 that I have, the nut is round but has 6 radial slots that my hub socket tool's pins engage. If you have slots, the precision of the diameter of the "hole" circle is not critical. If you can get the grease off of the nut to get a good look at it, you might want to look through all your parts guy's special tools. For me, their book said one thing but the tool that was specified couldn't have worked. Knowing what I was looking for, I was able to get the right one, which was pretty different. Another option would be to fabricate a tool. If you could find a piece of scrap pipe that was thick enough and the right diameter, you can drill some holes in the end of the pipe in the right pattern/spacing and secure some pins in the holes and use the tool to remove the wrench. You could use loctite if you don't have a torch. For pins, you could use those gun nails that are ultra-hard and grind the head and points off. You'll likely want to use hardened steel for the pins. A third option that comes to mind is to get two long punches that will fit into the holes. Then take some scrap steel and some vice grips and clamp the punches to the steel to make a squared off U with the tips of the punches in the holes. Then put a lever between the arms of the U and twist. Just an idea. Hope that helps. Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: Rex Bennett [mailto:rexbennett eibiz.net]

I put needle nose pliers in the little holes and use a big screwdriver between the jaws of the pliers. It provides more control over what you're doing as well as being easier.

Would you be kind enough to share more details on exactly what is going on regards older more 'classic' cars ? Not so much the legal mumbo-jumbo, but how you actually live with it. If you feel it's too boring to the list in general, please post off list. As you point out as Ca goes, so does the rest of the USA. Well I got news for you. If it's 'swallowed' in the USA, we get it down here, simply based on the assumption, it must be 'good for you' cause the Ca/USA has it ... and I guess I'd be happier with that IF I could buy an Effie for the same price as you. regards Les, Still lost in the land of OZ. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Sanborn" <slammer deltanet.com>

Subject: Installing Sliding Rear Window Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2001 22:33:59 -0700 Chuck asked: > From: chuck & kathy sanborn <slammer deltanet.com>
> Subject: Rear slider install instructions needed > > I just got a new slider for my 86 F150 and need VERY EXPLICIT > instructions on how to remove the old one and install the new > one. Tools needed, etc. Hey, here's one I can help with! Just did this on my 93 F-150. Chuck, it's EASY - no more than a 30 minute job, even the first time. Before starting, take a good look at your rear window gasket. If it's in rough shape, get a replacement...no reason not to get a good install because of that. Then: 1) With helper standing in bed of truck, press old window out of gasket from inside cab. (If the gasket is old and stiff, you might want to try treating the outside part of the gasket with silicone an hour or so before the work - might soften it.) Wearing eye protection for this removal procedure isn't a bad idea just in case the window shatters for some reason. This glass is tempered, so it will shatter, not crack. 2) Remove gasket from truck body; treat with silicone spray to renew it as much as possible. Install old gasket around new window. Hint: make sure the sliding window assembly is pointing inside the cab! (Sounds simple, but we all make mistakes.) 3) Lay a 1/8" or larger rope inside the channel all around the gasket. Leave a foot or more outside the channel on each end; this rope will be used to pull the gasket lip inside the truck when installing. Hint: note the position of the trailing end of the rope...DO NOT leave the trailing end on the outside - make sure the trailing end is inside the cab when you begin installation. (This prevents you from pulling all the trailing end through the gasket after the window is in place. Don't ask how I know this, please...) 4) Have your helper standing in the bed sit the gasket/window assembly in place across the bottom of the window opening. Center the window, then start pulling the rope around the opening; as you do this, pull the inner lip of the gasket into place inside the cab. Some grunting and strong fingers are required. The silicone you sprayed on earlier will reduce friction during this process. Work your way all around the window, and you're done! 5) Open beverage of choice for you and helper, then figure out what to do with old window. I'm going to call a local glass place and see if they want my old window free. If not, I have no idea what to do with it. Any (helpful) ideas? Anyone need a free solid rear window for a 93 F-150? -------------------------------------------------------------- Al Powell Fort Collins, CO '58 Fiat 1200 Spyder '83 Datsun 280 ZXT '90 Audi 200 '90 Ford F-150 powellae home.com
