Fixed - bad starter Thanks for all the advice Steve and Viper. After inspecting all connections and replacing the negative cable and starter relay/solenoid with an old spare, I took the 3 month old starter in to be tested. It engaged fine but would not spin? Put a new one in and fired right...

Checked volts at starter terminal and only 7V when turning the engine over. Same 7V at starter side of solenoid. Positive cable was too hot to touch on metal at both ends? Tried to jump start, but no different then without jump, slow turn over then nothing. I assume this would take the...

Thanks for the information Steve and Viper. The battery cables start warming up along the the first 12 inches from the battery and this is after a 3 second turn over and no longer. It seemed far too warm for such a short crank. It does not warm up if key is turned on, only after cranking. I...

Hello, I need some serious electrical help. I have searched prior posts and tried most things, but still need some advice. The good - 1971 all stock bronco with new voltage regulator, battery, alternator, battery cables, starter, solenoid, ignition switch and clean grounds from battery to...

I just went through the same thing and agonized the purchase. I have a new 3.5 Cage lift with new body mounts and an uncut bronco, that will not be cut. I put on 31x10.50x15 tires (BFG KM2) on 15x8 rims (MT Classic Lock) with 3 5/16 backspace. It does rub a little when you get it off-road...

Hello, I have searched the forums for any information, but can not find if tires will rub. The specs are; 3.5 inch cage lift, uncut fenders, 15x8 MT Classic Lock with 3 5/16 backspace and 31x10.50x15 BFG Mud KM2 tires. Will be using off-road, but nothing crazy and 80% on "good roads." Any...

Fixed Hello Carl, I had the outer wheel bearing go out. I replaced both the inner and outer on the passengers side and it works great. Cleaned up the locking hub components when I was in there and they move much better now. Only needed to purchase a spindle nut tool, Timken bearings, and...

Depends Hello, Just finished the two front seats and rear bench seat. I have the straight hog ring pliers (From JBG) and they are much better than standard pliers. I have not tried the angled, but can see some advantages when you are securing the foam to the seat frames. I would estimate that...

Hello All, My original 4x4 lockout hubs have been scraped up badly, to the point of almost not being able to read the free/lock. Does anyone have a good set laying around? All I need is the outer chrome part, I have the guts and the red turning dial. Thanks for your help, provoflyfisher 1971...

New Bearings Sorry for the confusion, I am replacing both inner and outer bearings and races. I agree when you are in there it is cheap insurance to replace and repack. I think I will take a file and knock down any bad spots and see if that helps and wiggle it on the best I can. As for...

Clean spindle The spindle is good. Before I seated the new race/bearing in the hub I checked it on the spindle and it was tight. I did not try to force on since it was not set. The outer bearing did need grease and it made some markes on the outside bearing seat that I cleaned up with some fine...

Hello All, Had the front wheel bearing (outer) go out last week. Took apart and hard a hard time getting the hub/drum off, not rust or brakes but on very tight. Now when I try to get the hub/drum back on I am having the same problem. The new inner bearing/race does not want to slide over the...

Thanks Guys Thanks for the comments. I had it in two wheel drive with hubs free. I also have drum brakes and will look at both the brakes and bearings and check out the spindle and hubs while I am in there. I have had the Bronco for 6 months and have wanted to repack the front bearings for a...

Hello All, Driving home tonight as I pulled into the driveway my front end started to freeze up and sounded like a grinding noise. I had to put it into 4 low to get it into the garage as it almost would not move forward or reverse. It happened when I turned sharp to get into the driveway. I...

Thanks Thanks for the help, I was off on the size previously (3/8" is correct). The nut driver is the way to go on these. Thanks Again, Provoflyfisher

Hello All, Any tricks or better tools to remove the arm rests off a 1971 bronco? It looks like a 1/2 or 7/16 nut, but I do not have a thin enough socket to get in there. The access hole through the arm rest is rather small. Any help will be appreciated. provoflyfisher
