Spindle seal

[Monk]

I used to pump my tires say once a month , then I started to loses 2lbs over night, now it's gotten to the point where I'm down 10lbs nightly.

I grabbed a tube / and water bottle ,and put in on the hub vent, low and behold bubbles,.



Soooooo, I dashed down to Roy's shop today to pick up a seal and clip,. Jack my truck and dug in,



Man, lol soon as I undo the ctis line to the steering arm, I see right in the middle (under the hold down) my friggen air line is frayed.

I got the seal and clip in now, attached everything tonight, but gotta pay Roy another visit,



Not sure where that braided line starts from, but has anyone ever replaced there front passenger line?

Lol, just wondering if I should put the band aids on first before I start that venture, hehe

[whitehumh2]

Oh it is a fun one! I connects right above the front diff pinion...lots of fun to get a set of wrenches in to loosen and then retighten

[Monk]

Uggg that's what I was afraid of,

I Was sorta hoping it was on a frame rail wide open area, hehe

But ya , I should know better, that nothing to much is reachable , I'll probably replace all 3 ( Roy changed one from my accident)

In the near future, they look their age

I went to Roy's shop today to pick up a new ctis braided line.

Looks nice, the set up that the PO had on my truck was a tad different then factory.

The one that was on my truck was almost turning into dust right in the middle of the line where clamp was around it so I guess it chafed



Polar bear correct!!! It was a pain , well I mean little room, hehe

[Monk]

My originals had the flare and sticking out of the Hub

[Monk]

This was finished, and lol I put a plastic

Cover on top to avoid chiefing

[Monk]

This was how it look for attached to the T just above the pinion like polar bear said, what a pain



And yes, lol I use a vise grip

[Monk]

This picture is for Roy! Hehe I'm sure he'll see what's there..haha

[Monk]

Yep even tie wrapped the line above pinion

[Monk]

Maaaan, lol outta boredom I was laying under the truck and saw the front drivers side ctis hose has a little bit of rubber poking out of the braid.near the middle of the line, I guess it touches the springs at full turn. Over the many years the braid wears out.

Soooooo, this will be the next mission this or next week,.
