stock cj-7 pitman arm

[85cj7]

anyone have a stock cj-7 pitman arm, and a 7/16"-1" reamer?????

[colman]

i know where a few stock ones are in town

[85cj7]

where? and about for how much, wait don't you have one from that waggy front end? will that fit?

[colman]

it is longer but i think it will fit

[85cj7]

well thats probably not a good idea then. where ar ethe ones in town that you know of?

[85cj7]

hey garrett didn't you say you had the proper reamer for the dana 30?

[73bronco]

I've got a reamer, probably should work depending on the taper you need

[85cj7]

the kits at ok4wd says the reamer is 7/16" - 1". http://www.ok4wd.com/index.php/catalog/product/rock_equipment_tie_rod_flip_kit/
and i don't want to have to buy this for a one time use. unless maybe if no one has one to borrow, would andrew want to split the price of the reamer with me? you said you wanted to flip your tie rod and drag link too. The more people that want to do this the lower the price of the reamer. any takers?

[colman]

maybe but i am putting a d44 from a waggy in with chevy knuckles so i might do the tie rods on the other side of the axle

the waggy arm is 3/4 of an inch longer, so not much. you can come over and check the size of the splines to see if they fit. you can have it for 10 bucks

[85cj7]

what do you mean tie rod on the other side of the axle. you mean below the knuckle?

[colman]

no behind it. as above the yoke

[85cj7]

ive never seen that, are you working on the jeep tomorrow, if so need any help. i'm not doing anything and would help get the cj running if interested.

[colman]

that sounds great, call me whenever you want to come over, i will hopefully be working by 9 am, i'm so close

[85cj7]

does no one have a reamer with the right taper????? thats surprising

[CheapJeep]

I'm not sure if a pitman arm from a early CJ-5 manual box will work but I'm pretty sure I have one laying around if you need it.

[colman]

it won't he needs ps it is a larger spline setup

[85cj7]

hey garrett can you check to see if yours would work, for me please. I want to get the ball rolling on this and start ordering parts and i need to know if i have to buy the reamer or if i can get away with just buying the cones.

[85cj7]

how do you measure the taper of a reamer, the kit requires a 7/16-1" reamer, do you just measure the diameter or what????

[Reckless]

i think that means 1in per foot but dont hold me to that.

[colman]

i called you about the pitman arm, i have one for ya at the casa

[85cj7]

awesome, just hold on to it for me untill i can find a reamer, and order the cones. thanks again

[85cj7]

are you planning on watching the super bowl this sunday or are you going to work on the jeep, i am busy all weekend untill 1 pm sunday, if you aren't going to watch the game i was hoping i could come over and finish up the rock sliders.

[colman]

i am going to watch the game

[85cj7]

ok thats cool, i sort of figured, another time then
