migs' build thread - A 1970 Bronco ...an ever evolving project

[migs]

I dop have an engine stand, but as for Pete's monster hoist... I don't think I'm ready to become care taker of that thing!;D

 

[dave67fd]

I can bring it over...Only problem is I don't have anyone to help throw it in my truck now that my son moved out. Don't mind bringing It back but need help taking it back off. I should buy a hoist for the hoist;D and yes it could use it's own garage;D

Pete, you have memmory issues as to where it is? Didn't think you wanted to get rid of it that bad;D

 

[fatboy]

I have one as well and I believe that it might actually still be at Dave's since it is much easier to store there than here...;D

I have an engine stand as well taking up space in my shed.

On a serious note, I can swing by and help load and drop off. When you are done B, I can take it back.

The legs on my hoist fold up if that makes it any easier. Are we starting to sound like we want a wrench-a-que or what?

 

[migs]

OK, what do you want on the menu? I'll let the chef know...

...I should just give you guys keys to the garage that way I don't even need to be there to get stuff done!;D;D

I am not sure that I would trust some of these characters with keys and no supervision. Just sayin...;D

 

[tasker]

didn't need to be there last time ;D

OUCH. Want some help up B?

 

[migs]

all's good... the smart ones know how to get stuff done without getting their hands dirty

 

[migs]

so, got some new guts today to mix with the old guts and finally put this front axle back together....

That leaves me out.;D

 

[Slednut10]

That leaves me out.;D

Crap, me too.

Crap, me too.

What getting things done, or getting dirt hands? ;D

 

[Slednut10]

What getting things done, or getting dirt hands? ;D

My stuff eventually gets done. I'm just not smaaaht enough to get someone to do it for me or rich enough to pay someone else to. (;D) Plus, my hands have permadirt.%)

Brian, how can it be taking shape if your ripping things OUT???

 

[migs]

Hmm... good point Art, but I don't know any other way than taking em apart!;D
maybe once there's nothing left to take apart I'll figure out how to go the other direction.?:?;D

Look! took more things apart tonight

 

[NGABronco]

Aw man, just put the do-ma-gigy, between those shims and then put the thing-a-ma-bob on the shaft beside them and pour some oil on it and you're good to go!!!!%)%)

 

[migs]

those directions make no sense Ben, I no understand words and letters.... me only read pictures!;D

 

[migs]

I had a little time tonight to install the do-ma gigy into the thing-a-ma-bob.

pretty easy install. I did have to grind a little clearance on the carrier to fit the second middle piece through, but it didn't need much. the hardest part was installing the springs, but using a small screw driver to compress them made it simple enough.

Yeah, I forgot the need for the small screwdriver!!!%)%)%) Good job and great pics!!!!;D;D;D

I finished buttoning up the front axle today. the bearings were still good so so just new inner seals and pinion seal, then bolted the ring gear back on the carrier and reinstalled the gear set and cleaned up and painted the yolk.
