Done a little bit more work today and removed the welded on brake pedal and the steering box. I can't for the life of me work out why the steering wheel has a "fake nut" on it:



I also did not know what to do next as the next "washer" is firmly wedged in and reading the artucles it says "slacken the nut" and use a pully, what nut???

Removed those body bolts which were left (only 7 of the 15 or so) and worked out why she always leaned to the right, no body rubbers on the right, straight onto the frame, 1 left on the left lol.

Looks nice and clean now, ready for lift off tomorrow:



And she is loose, check out my video page:

I am flying!

Removed spring bolts and lifted the frame off!!!



I only have 1 problem and that is this spacer:



Its a fairly large spacer between the axle where the clucth pedal and brake pedal are hinging on. I managed to make it move a bit but than it simply stopped. I WD40'd, I even put the blow torch on it for 2 minutes.... If anybody has any ideas greatly appreciated...

another thought, is the spacer part of the shaft, and the shaft screwed into the chassis?

Hi there Ronald!
Thats a great condition CJ3B to start off as a project vehicle. Keep up the good work in documenting the restoration on your web site and in here. Thats something that so many people wish they did after the fact.

Phil...

Is it a fake nut or what is left of the horn? Did it have the horn button on it? Have you read this? - http://www.film.queensu.ca/cj3b/Tech/HornButton.html

If you find a spare Black "Sheller" steering wheel in your travels please let me know

Yeah check that it is actually a spacer, if it is heat untill its glowing cherry red the whole way round then remove once its no longer glowing.Bit off CRC helps to.
