Long Travel BS Thread

Yoke off

 

Not seeing a crush sleeve just the bearing?

 

Im about to throw my bedsides on the ground, run them over, and run no bedsides...


Pushed up as far against the bed as it can go....

 

I feel your pain. I feel the same way with my rear end

 

Who wants to bring me a 200 ft-lb torque wrench

 

Crush sleeve or solid spacer goes inbetween the bearings. It's what allows you to make the nut tight but still let the bearings move. You can see it unless you pull the bearings. Seeing as how you already pulled the flange let's hope it's a solid spacer or your gonna be slightly screwed with your pinion bearing load if it's a crush sleeve.

 

Dammit, well I already tapped the seal in. Which I will say fit way better than the original. Just bought a torque wrench so if it fails we will all learn a little here.

 

Because trophy truck

 

200 ft-lbs is a bitch under here. Pinion nut torqued wish me luck.

 

I just installed my McNeil bedsides last wknd, it was definitely a PITA. They are certainly not precision-made parts!

 

Started a thread on boxing rear portion of frame since it seems common for those with LT in rear.

Trade you for mine they're silver already too hahaha

 

I probably wouldve bought them off you had I known! TT style???

I think I had been working too long, just need to grind down the material that the glass sits on towards the cab and hopefully that'll get the gap a little smaller.

 

Round 2. fight.

Let's hope this bitch doesn't pop out like the last one.

 

Mine aren't for sale ahha I just want a new set cuz mine have issues from previous owner haha

 

If the adjustment is not set up right, you will toast your gears

 

Feeling pretty confident. Strange sent me torque specs for that nut.

 

He means your pinion to ring gear interface

 

I know, but the yoke / pinion nut decides that depth. We shall see. Of anything strange is getting a call Monday regardless.

 

The pinion nut does not decide the depth. The spacers under neath the inner pinion bearing does. The nut just tightens it down. And if the bear load is wrong it won't turn or the bearings will be too loose.
