icefisherman Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Got the drive shaft for $105 from Parts Source and mostly finished the right side...the aftermarket shaft had slight difference with the original one - see pictures...the silver two step flange is 3 mm or so wider on the new part. As a result when tight the spindle nut its edge sticks few mm out of the end of the spindle thread...no big deal as still all thread is been used and I can still notch the nut against unscrewing... Got to put back the brakes tomorrow and will start the right side...if the spindle nut on the right side comes out easier than the left one did should finish by tomorrow night Sunday the latest and be ready for alignment on Monday. The brakes cylinder is sticking a bit....can I spray PB Bluster to try to loosen it a bit? Cheers, Ice Fisherman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
