'62FJ40 02-15-2002, 10:26 PM Replacing bearings and seals on my front axel, if I just re-use the original shims will the axel shaft be centered properly? Anyone ever use the SST shown in the manual? Looks like you could duplicate it with a large bolt or rod and some spacers? WDUT?

I have the SST, it's moderately useful, but not worth the money ($120) to own, you don't absolutely need it. Seems like every time I rebuild one and check it with the SST, I end up with one thick shim on both top and bottom. '62FJ40 02-17-2002, 08:28 PM Can you post some pics of the SST? I am thinking of trying to duplicate it ( just to say I did it) with a large bolt and some spacers, I can get the part that fits in the tube machined out of aluminum pretty easily. thx | |
