BONES - Wrenching weekend April 9th

[fatboy]

Which line produced the leaker Pete?

There was one input adapter to the h block that I did not remove. It wasn't clear why it was there and I hated to mess with it.

Front right line from the axle hose that leads out to the caliper hose. It is leaking at the axle fitting. I cannot get it out today, but will take a look at it tomorrow. May just pull the line and grab my spare fittings and head up to Arts one night this week and bang out another one. Considering the Frankenstein system that is there already and the fact that every single piece of the system was replaced, I think only one leak is OUTSTANDING!

Or I can come by and we will re do that one flare. Easy enough to do on the truck.

OK, today is out as I am heading out west to give dad his car but maybe one night this week.

I played with the dash a bit more. I think it will work fine for this truck.

Line is off the truck. Nothing obvious to my eye. I can still bring it to you on Thursday if you want, no need for you to come to me.

Maybe on the front, not so much on the back side!

I need to R&R my mig, I think my wire is corroded again. Not feeding very well.

I cranked up the pressure on the feed roller last weekend and it worked better. I ran about ten feet out of wire out and it looked ok, so I would replace the tip first to see if that helps. Mine acts like it is feeding poorly once the tip wears the hole bigger or I've stuck the wire in it too many times.

I have gotten the grinder with cut off wheel out three separate times to hack those old rust pieces off but figured I better wait until I the replacements. Those are great and I cannot wait to see them in person.

I believe they might even become available but I do not want to put any words into migs (mugs for you tasker) mouth.

 

[tasker]

Didn't say a word! :-X

 

[dave67fd]

Wouldn't surprise me if he had complete body kits available by the end of the year. ;D Great work brother

Art and Brian came by last night. Art looked at the brake line that was leaking and thought the same thing I did, "there ain't nothing wrong with that flare". It looked like the possibility of a light ridge in it so we used a small drill bit to ream it and then we removed the h block bolted to the axle housing and reinstalled the line. This allowed us to really get the fitting into the h block tight. We were able to fill and bleed that brake and as of this morning there were no leaks.

Brian brought over the rock skis and they are stout! They will work out nicely and I will be buying another set from him for my other build once he goes into production with them. Need to burn some wire this weekend getting the rock skis finished up and getting the floors in.
