Re: rear wheel bearing 60 series

check the hub isn't fouling on some crap at the back the stub axle where the seal sits, had a similar problem before and i just gave eveything a good cleanup and a grease and it all went back together.

Re: Transfer Case Seal

I rebuilt my transfer on my 75 a while ago, wasn't too hard.

I just bought a good detailed workshop manual and it all made sense once i split the case. took a few pics before i pulled things apart which helped.

Re: Bighorn VS KM2

I've been running KM2's on my cruiser for almost a year and so far they have been very impressive, excellent performance in the bush and not too bad on the road either. Had 2 sets of the old BFG muddies before that and got 80,000 kays out of both sets and they still had life left in them.

Re: Dts turbo issues

Yeah it's sure is looking that way mate, think i have a combination of two leaks going on there either way it's losing alot of oil at the moment.

probably wouldn't hurt to give it all a freshen up, turbo's been on for 110 000 so far, 310 000 on the ute

yeah that would be my preference to supply parts and get the box done in the shop, do the rest myself and save on labour, have access to specialty tools and a hoist. need to use the car for work so hopefully it doesn't develop too quickly, got a 400km round trip. will pull the pto cover off and have...

doing the clutch myself, cost a small fortune to get it done here. would love to slap a reco unit in but the best quote i've got so far is 2800 exchange. Is it possible to inspect the input gear and spline through the pto cover on the transfer case? seems like a fairly common problem with the cruise...

that makes things easier then, would definately do the bearings while i'm in there. would that explain the clunking noise? noise isn't there when you come to a stop with the car in gear and the clutch depressed, only there if you coast to a stop in neutral. clutch is pretty sad and is getting replac...

thanks heaps for the help, the grinding noise in 4h was unrelated, the clunking noise at walking pace is there in 2h 4h and 4L but doesn't do it in reverse. The gearbox input gear sounds like a good possibility, is this possible to change with the box still in the car? have a body lift so it's prett...

thanks for the input everyone. Had the compression test done pre turbo and it was 100%. there is no oil in the air intake before the turbo, only after the turbo. There is only oil seeping through the plumbing join after the turbo, from the air cleaner to the turbo is oil free. I will check everythin...
