NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Appreciate it. I'll def reach out later this week when I'm back in town

 

If you have all new hardware just remove the clips that hold the bearing and press it out with that bolt still there. Or am I missing something?

 

That's what I realized after he posted a pic. Just remove it all.

 

I've done that but I don't have a press....and the uniballs are not budging even when beating on them with a BFH.

With a press they would be out in seconds.

 

I have everything you should need. Let’s figure out a time to meet up this week and get it out.

In the meantime soak that crusty bitch in some penetrating fluid.

 

Sounds good. Been hitting it with PB every couple days.

 

I'm coming into this late... did you remove the retaining ring?

I don't see it there in the second pic, and pretty sure I see a vacant groove where the ring recesses.


I've had to deal with this exact problem when I did my TC uniballs. Lesson learned: don't prolong rebuilding them. The longer you wait, the bigger pita it is.

 

Agreed and thought the same thing... but figured I'd throw out the idea, in case I wasn't seeing it right.

 

They gone fa sho

 

Gotcha. Mine were seized pretty dang good in mine too. Definitely need a press for them.

When you go to install the new ones....a bit of anti seize or even just grease on the outside will help in future replacements

 

I will be putting anti seize in there for sure!

 

There's a video of rats running around the bdubs in south center...haven't stepped foot into that place in like 5 years

Just got an airfryer this weekend too. Going to try out wings to see if it's legit..

 

Sweet! What time should I swing by with the beers?

 

The monthly meet is this coming Saturday!!

I just replaced my Icon Uniballs, with the new delta joints. You need a 20 ton press for sure, I had to run to Jim house to press them out. We actually didnt need a press to put the new ones in just a hammer, vice and the special install too. Good Luck!

out w/ the old


in w/ the new

 

Might be too late now, but I have a 12 ton press if any of you need to borrow/use one. I'm in Renton.

 

And this has nothing to do with Tacomas, but I know a few of you are also car nerds, so...

I finally got my 996 on the dyno this weekend and I'm pretty stoked with the numbers. My best pull of the day netted 555hp @ 6350rpm and 462 ft lbs at 6200rpm at the wheels. The car pulled all the way to the rev limiter and my data logging numbers look pretty good, so I think the spinny bois have a little more juice left in them (though I think my stock fuel injectors and pump might not, so I guess those are my next upgrade).

 

Beautiful ride! I had a 2006 cabriolet while I was in Southern California. I miss that car.

 

Ahhh the good old cycle of building cars....o the turbos have room left still but I need more injector....ok ill upgrade those. O now the pump is maxed out so ill swap that....o now the turbos are maxed out

Glad you got it on the dyno though!

MY little old MR2 is almost done. Just a couple small things left on the engine side (mostly timing) and then some other stuff like the headlights stopped working (previous owner swapped to aftermarket ones). Wish I hadnt slacked off the last few months with this nice weather!
