    Clock spring adjustment or steering wheel on wrong?

    Pretty sure it's the original steering box but I know that the steering wheel was replaced. Given the other stuff I need to do (like replace half the joints on the front suspension and rebuild the top half of my V8) it's small beans but it's been p*ssing me off for a few years now

    Clock spring adjustment or steering wheel on wrong?

    Is there any adjustment between the clock spring inner rotating part and the steering wheel? The cancel for the turn signal is not equal, turning in one direction the turn signal cancels with only a small turn of the steering wheel and a lot more is required when turning the other way. My...

    Axle bearings in Dana 44 rear axle

    Jerry, Thanks for the confirmation and clarification. I'd watched quite a few Youtube videos and there had been some with taper roller bearings (but still with the | retainer ring | bearing | seal | plate ) set up. I can get a Crown kit in the UK for like 80 bucks per side but I'll import...

    Hi there, got a 2000 4.0L TJ (right hand drive cos we live in the UK) with a Dana 44 rear axle. Just done the rear brakes (cylinders, shoes, springs drums) and noticed that one of the rear seals is weeping ever so slightly. Each axle has a really small amount of axial play (like 0.020") but...

    Removing the rear drums

    I think so, but even if the parking brake was in I would expect some sort of movement from the drum. It just doesn't move at all. I think I need an hydraulic puller to move them

    Removing the rear drums

    Hello there, We need to replace the brake shoes on our 2000 TJ. After jacking up the rear and taking the wheels off I can't get the drums off. I can't even get the drum loose on the end of the axle shaft. I've worried that if I just use a bigger hammer (and trust me I've got some big ones!)...
