Well, it was worth a shot. I thought maybe we could take full advantage of his good nature and wonderful teaching skills. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worthy.gif

Allright. They have to be hot though. No fatties. We have a twister mat already.





Is that what you call that evil shirt-eating creeper?

One of my buddies attached this to one of my autocad papers once while I went on break, I caught it just before I handed it to my hard nosed professors, mainly because the whole back of the class was about to piss there pants as I walked to the front of the room with the disk. Enjoy Harry

Do you need to purchase a total of 6 shim kits? This is what CAPS is telling me:

34378C 2 x MB185340 SPACER SET,RR DIFF
34177 1 x MB185360 SHIM SET,RR DIFF DRIVE PINION,FR
34181 1 x MB185350 SHIM SET,RR DIFF DRIVE PINION,RR

We had kits on hand so we didn't need to buy all of those. It's moot now anyway because we had to take it apart again.

Here are Paul's arms, sandblasted and pressed with new bushings from Oztek and then some new ball joints.

So now I need to find someone to remove my balance shafts AND re-shim my rear diff /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif My u-joints and carrier bearings for the driveshaft could use a replacement soon too.

Cy, buy another 4 bolt for cryin out loud. The shaft will need to be rebalanced. Try South Shore Bearing in Quincy for that. Hire some broke DSM'er to do your B shafts. That's the worst job ever in my book.

[bitching] Cryin out loud, that's exactly what it's doing. I try to fool myself into thinking I've got a dogbox /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif When I give rides, people say "WTF kind of piece of crap am I riding in? It sounds like it's about to fall apart." Freaking pillow mounts are nice and noisy too. I don't like this car right now. [/bitching]

Yes, that looks very familiar. I have been there and done that, both front and back, and I couldn't agree more, it is a pain to do. Definitely on the same level, as the BS removal as discussed above.

Larry Parker's joints arrived. Nice work Larry as usual it seems. Perfect fit. I just finished welding them in the arms. Next comes paint when they cool down.
