1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

It had a 7.0L!!! v8. Hampered by U.S. Emissions regulations at the time, it only made 180 Horsepower.

 

I have a large set of impact sockets that sees more use as bushing press tools than they do sockets. Works great.

 

Do they spit at you too?

 

Yep, I can relate 100%

 

If you fuggin really wanna do something, you will find a way to do it, period.

 

I forgot tp bring my large set with me when i went to do @lucky13don leafs. So I bought a handful of cheap ones thats are now just gunna be dedicated to pushing bushings out lol

 

How big is the C clamp? This one has a 6 3/8 inside-inside clamp and I need probably another 1/2+ in

 

Decided to tear the other side down and pull the knuckle off and the unit bearing is very solidly attached to the knuckle. Thinking I might just do the unit bearings and all that shit since I'm already replacing just about everything else.

The vacuum hubs are shot too so might as well throw another $150 at milemarker hubs

 

Harbor Freight have one big enough that'd work? I know when I was time constrained and hunting down clamps at stores I found nice clamps at Home depot or Lowes but they were speeeendy. I bought one anyways. It was great. Than it was stolen out of a bucket out of back of the taco. Reminds me I better find one on Amazon to throw in my cart before I forget.

 

Dude, no more Aisin hubs available or what?

 

Nah just swap axels and be done

 

He is talking about his ford

 

Oh

 

He is rebuilding the axle his is gunna chop out

 

yeah, because I would rather have the truck up and running while I collect the rest of the parts I need for the swap and I don't want to spend all summer working on it

 

Anyone ever end up needing a C-clamp larger than 12" for retracting the pistons in brake calipers or similar? I'd think 12" should be plenty big for any brake job I come across

 

I have only worked on cars, and trucks up to 3/4 ton, but for me I think 8" is the largest I have used. If I do have a problem, it's usually the depth of the jaw, not the opening size. Of course, larger opening, normally deeper jaw, so win win. Also, make sure the pads are flat, not those ones with curvature or a bump in the middle.

 

If anybody is looking to buy a plasma cutter, I have been reviewing one I bought for $650 off Amazon. Primeweld Cut60. The thing is doing really well so far.
