Now here's a thing.......aarrgghh :lol_hitting: :lol_hitting:

The easiest part of putting in a Lockright should be taking diff cover off and tapping roll pin out from centre pin.......

but.........I think someone has been in here before me :jpshakehead:

Bugger wont move....... have now sent out for a long  punch/drift  to help...... got a feeling won't make any odds though.

Looks like what should have been an easy job this evening may now be a job for grownups........ bugger :017:

Anyone been here before???

Only on a d35, when I was removing the shaft retaining screw it came half out then snapped. Beat the fuck out of the shaft to break off what was left of the screw then removed the remains after the shaft was out. But don't know on your big axles :017: bigger hammer :icon_biggrin:

some only drive out in one direction so you use a thin one to get out and a thicker one to go in

Followed the instructions from Pirate that had pics and like them drove out from left to right as you sit in front of your rig. Seems its a long old bugger and 8mm so thats the size of big mother I've orderd................. tried it with old screwdriver cut to resemble drift but some how didn't work.............. 8mm bolt .bent and didn't work. Stopping before I hurt myself was maybe a good idea............... will keep you posted.
Otherwise its ring and carrier out and a job for a grown up............... :jpshakehead:. which would be a shame as it should be a 40 min job :banghead:

If the 60 is like a bigger version of the 30s and 44s then just prybar the thing out.
The shims are inboard of the bearings so you wont alter anything and it will be far easier to manipulate and see what you are doing on a bench, just make sure the bearing caps go back as they came out (they should be stamped anyway) and also that they are torqued back up properly.  :003:

New long punch arrived when I was out so wont get it till Monday..bugger......

However was having a google tonight and a few post of the same prob so i dont feel toooooo bad.

Otherwise I'll take your advice Mr Sparky.

While I was indulging in a one legged arse kicking competition I realised I had all the parts to lock the diffs .........but with thick r and p for the rear and new carrier and r and p for the front I could get the gearing to what it should be for 40's ie 5.38 and not the 4.10 it is now....... so .....if no removal poss of the roll pin I will go that route in new year when have more fluff accrued :icon_twisted:

In the meantime I have the tube and steel sheet for the tube/flat fenders that arrived on friday late afternoon........ maybe I can get those done before end of year :icon_super:

Tube fender alert.............. Weekend metal mayhem :smilie_winki:

Have cut one fender to pieces so I'm not going anywhere till the jobs done then :jpshakehead:

Got a pipe bender Mau Mart stylee from the bay ..new for £88 delivered     ....... whoopeedo........not!

they don't call it the 'Kinkmaster' for nothing.

However you'll not notice when done... (and covered/disguised)......... and I've also found a way to do very nice 90 degree bends with no wrinkle now :icon_super: :icon_super: So the next set will be nice......... :icon_biggrin:

Have now got to get more tube for the fender flares that need 1.5 metres each and I'm doing the rear as well ..... so that's a 6 metre length then.....thats handy..... (cos they come that length :hysterical:)

Pics to follow when it looks like I know what I'm doing...... don't hold breath..... :icon_super:

Right then finally got it all back together.So here's some pics......

The flares are 7" which is as wide as I would like to go but was needed to almost cover a full width Dana there's still 2and a half inches at least sticking out......

Just means that lt keeps the  mud out of the cab and me :icon_twisted:

And these are the panels that bolt in to allow hands and spanners to attach the fender.......

All held on by 6 bolts now and easy to remove :icon_twisted:
[attachment=1]
[attachment=2]

So what have I learnt................ :hysterical: :hysterical:

Well if I was doing another I would not bother to integrate the original inner arch....Pain in the butt cutting and welding that on.........
No, if I do another one it will be.....take original fender off in its entirety...... and fabricate afresh........ making inners is sooooo easy after you have the outer done.

The angle of the fender without the flare is 90 degree and the flare joins at 45 degree..... this was to enable trees to be leant against and not to hook up to a flare at 90 degrees....if you follow.

Any way I now have 2 nice picnic tables for Birty gatherings :hysterical:

God its been a time since a last '1 Ton post' ........ :jpshakehead:

Had to sell a few body parts to get going again.......(well a big old spindle moulder and cutters actually)..... so now I have....
a Baileigh tube notcher....... tube bender arriving later this month........

Just done the shipping on new R and Ps for the 60 and 14 bolt...5.38s..deepest you can go on a 14 bolt...... plus all bits like install kits and stuff that mounts up (feck).

Got bored over the new year and to get away from listening to the MIL talking bollix for England  and being a bit Daily Mail.... i retreated to the workshop to weld practice on 1mm sheet.   feck its not easy......

Ended up ripping the plastic Demon Tweaks scoop off the hood and fabbing a huge ugly mansize mother to get that honkin' KandN air filter under there.........

But you dont want to see that do you......... :hysterical:
