i uploaded them here to ausjeep (as thumbnails), then referred to the individual thumbnail links at the bottom of the post in the image url fields, to display them fullsize in the posts


The more I think of that thread the more I think I'll make a new thread on just the actual rebuild itself, with more info on what I actually did, went through, discoveries and tips.

Then it will be more straightforward, searchable and informative...perhaps


PS. We have hi jacked this Grand Cherro thread with tranny talk haha. If anyone's got any comments etc we should probably go to that thread linked above. Yo

It's awesome to see the other GC WJ/G's in here getting some mod love. Excellent. Keep it going.


I have named the front diff 'Ring pull 1' and the rear diff 'Ring pull 2'

Today:
Gutted the front diff today, flushed the diff centre until nice and shiny.
Rinsed the crown wheel assembly, including locker, clean as a whistle.
Luckily there was no rust anywhere.


Replaced the seals, reassembled the diff centre, put the oil in, and refitted the driveshaft.
Fitted the new Moog 'Problem Solver' ball joints to the inner knuckles. Gotta say the left hand upper ball joint was stuck in there like it was cast as one unit with the inner C
Fitted the new Timken unit bearings ( aka wheel hub bearings).
Fitted the new Racho RS5000 steering damper.

Only whole GC pic I got today



Took it for a test drive to have pizza for tea.

Totally stoked

No more DW. The old worn unit bearings enabled the front wheels to sideflop approx 10mm
Hence the white knuckle steering wheel grip anytime over 80. So I never went over 80 for months Back roads only.
Last week the front left was starting to emit a protesting grinding type racket. Ok, enough of that.
Not no more.

This is not a DD, just a weekend Otways, or similar adventurer.


Trivia for you.
Moog is actually correctly pronounced as 'Mogue' as in rhymes with Minogue.
Not Moog as in Moooog
