I hope I haven't screwed up here. I took my e-brake drum off and got gear oil coming out. Does the drum actually seal the t/c at this point or did I srew up on my rebuild? Panic :confused: :( :rolleyes: :shaking: :eek: :crybaby2:

At least it didn't get on my new brake shoes.

you o.k. that is normal . If you look the filler hole is about 1" higher than the bottom of the seal for drum. Drain it first next time.

Whew! thanks. Duuhh! Should I clean that sh-t out with brake cleaner before replacing the drum? Pretty stinky stuff when you get a chest full of it...yak! sure didn't expect that.

If you use that e-brake then do try to clean the gear oil out of there...it'll help keep that brake working(not that they work that great to begin with :( )

any pics of that ?
Yup , 90 wt. will give you a nasty headache if you smellin it for a couple hrs.
just put drum back and refill. Check Mudrak's double seal if it leaks oil into drum.
Also , put some silicon on back of washer so oil does not work out the splines.

TEEHEEHEEHEEEHEEEEE!!!!! :D :D :D
DOH!

Oh yah, if you have a bad groove in the drum where the seal rides a speedi sleeve will fix that.
PS I could have made some juvenile comment about you getting a chest full of stinky stuff but I decided against it....wait a minute I think I just contradicted my last statement. :confused: :D

I'm usually more careful about that stuff...s'pose I deserve to get razzed on that one! I live surrounded by sons, nephews, brothers and a hubby that never lets anything get by him...except maybe a chest full of gear oil...pew! Funny thing tho, I think I got them all into wheelin' and trucks of different sorts when I started this Cruiser build. It's kinda snowballed.

90 wt. t-shirt pics ?
Hey , I did the same thing on my 40 just stuffed the drum back in real quick.
Is it a runner ? pics of the rig ?

Definately brake clean the heck outta everything that got gear lube on there. Don't mind Texican, he laughs at me a lot too.

It's good to laugh...keeps things in perspective!

My Cruiser is almost a runner again. I'll try to post pics. Another thing to learn!

Shit , I thought Tex was just stuttering again .
spit it out already boy.

Wasn't laughing, that was a giggle........if it's any consolation I installed the 4wd sleeve backwards in an Orion today and had to pull the output nose to flop it over..........they don't worky so good bassackwards.........

Nice clean 2F!

Chit Butch , why you did not tell me , now I know why mine won't shift right , they only go 1 way , ?????? really ? your just messin with me , right ?..??????

Fantastic 2F engine compartment! Gutsy block color choice. Yours makes Landcruiserjunky's engine compartment look pedestrian.:D :laughing:

That engine is CLEAN!. Got me kind of curious what color my engine is under all the grease and mud.

One of the percs of being a chick builder...no one is going to laugh too hard at my color choices! I was after old Harley colors...the od green and dark maroon with gold trim. Missed the mark as I couldn't find proper engine paint colors. This thing is gonna STINK!!! Only for a while tho...thanks for the compliments!

I thought it was an extremely clean job , nice work . If it runs like it looks you are golden. I would hate to see your house , prolly a clean freak.

It is a good idea to clean the splines and put some silicone on the splines so gear oil will not seep past the splines.

Actually I like brown carpet and greens and browns most everyplace else...I live in the country and everything kinda blends in that way! House is usually pretty cluttered, shop is clean! :flipoff2:

Seriously now, will brake cleaner ruin the seal? I s'pose just keep it out of there and wipe splines so silicone sticks? These seem to be the kinds of little details that can be a real pita later if not done right. Thanks for the help!

spray brake cleaner on a rag and wipe the splines.
