Thats Twin and Big GQ.
I'll have a look before the weekend and see how it looks.
I tend to over do things..... IE over greasing.
I used to have a rotary and once snapped 2 bolts off that hold the sump onto the short block. So my old man didn't find out I just siliconed the heads on. That motor still held 500hp without issue. ;-)
Hopefully the hub is still good too.
So. Funny story.
Pulled the drivers side auto hub off. Was all 1 piece still, no metal in the grease. Cleaned excess grease out and removed the spacer bit as described in the post BigGQ mentioned.
Went around and went to pull the passenger side auto hub off, and it was in the locked position already I think....... Either I put it to locked without realising or its been like that for some time.
Unbolted it, and its in bits. The spacer as mentioned above and another shim piece were sitting on the axle, not stuck, but just sitting there. Grease was grey with metal pieces.
The rest of the insides of the hub fell out of the body when I held it upside down.
The axle looks fine still.
Soooo, I'm on the hunt for some manual locking hubs now. ;-)
You're not the first to pack stuff with too much grease, and you won't be the last .... I have that habit too.
Least you are on the right road to getting it all running ok again
Yeah, purchased some new manual hubs to convert the auto to full manual. problem solved. ;-)
hi mudrunner, my gu does the same thing. the grinding noise from the drivers side. how do you take the hub off?
