And wolverton, there is no special nut needed. I've never removed one that had a lock nut, and the rebuild kits for my jeep and 94 f350 came with new lock washers.

still doesnt mean a lock nut wouldnt fix this problem.....

i bet the splines are trashed... they fit on there really damn tight and if it gets loose that easy it is probably the splines

[Mud King]

went and put a new lock washer on there a minute ago adn it seemed to help for now, no more popping noises real smooth, the old washer was pretty much flat, i put a new grade 8 one on there, so we will see...if i have access to a welder any time soon though im gonna put a little tac weld on there for a little reassurance. Thanks guys for thoughts..

does anybody have a dana 44 carrier for 3.92 and up and possibly a set 4.56's for dana 44 that they would like to get rid of...i need it for the front end, gonna order shaft this week and gonna gear the front end myself, just wonderin if anyone might had any of this?

alrighty does anybody know anything about hydraulic clutches? easter weekend i pulled the tranny and put a new clutch and flywheel in it, got everything put back in it sunday night and went to back it out of garage and it had no pedal but about a inch off the floor. The only way to get it into gear was to pump the clutch vigorously for about thirty seconds and then it would drop into gear and then the clutch would let off right off the floor. I left it at home and drove 73 CJ5 back up here, dad was fed up and took it to local shop and told them to figure it out. I figured as well as them it had to be slave or master cylinder was out, they called today and replaced both and there is still no pedal. Does anyone have a clue as to what else it could be. I know the clutch was put in right that was the third time ive put a clutch in the thing, the clutch and flywheel were all the right parts, same part numbers and appeared identical? Any clues?

Also i had got my new tom woods drive shaft in and its too long. I must have measured wrong or something, its compressed all the way at ride height. Who knows. Gotta send it back.

sounds like you have air in the system, just like weak brakes

[Mud King]

they say they bled it, and i bled it that night when i had no pedal but it didnt help and there wasnt any air bubbles.

[uglyota]

on a toyody the clutch cylinders can be tough to bleed...best way is to gravity bleed it for a while, just leave the bleeder loose and keep topping off the reservoir for a half hour or so, then bleed it like normal a few times. Could the mc pushrod need adjustment? Maybe you had it adjusted all the way in? Good luck

well i havent got truck back yet, the shop has had my truck for three weeks and they have replaced everything involving the clutch and yet it still doesnt have any pedal, they are stumped as am i, i really dont think they know what theyre doing but it was a very respectable shop in the area, they say it has blown out 5 slave cylinders and two masters and put two clutches in it, im absolutely amazed.

Well to the point when i get the truck back i am gonna need some help doing some things, my parents wont let me work on truck at home anymore etc. etc. etc. Ive paid money for a woods driveshaft that doesnt fit and before i can tell them how much shorter it needs to be i need to modify or make new tranny crossmember. I have no tools or material up here and would be glad to pay in whatever currency is wanted to help or just m ake me a crossmember. I know pretty much how i want to do i just need someone that can do it. I really want to get this damn thing tied up and done so i can actually take it somewhere and wheel it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, im not afraid to pay i really need this done! Thanks guys
