Hi All,
After rounding up all the replacement parts over the last few weeks, I was
able to get the Greenbrier back on the road today. Last night I prepped all
replacement parts and painted them. This morning and afternoon it was just
a simple matter of assembling all the parts. Replaced the u-joint,
differential axle yoke, u-bolts, seals, adjusting sleeve, starter.
I decided to replace the chewed up side adjusting sleeve too. Only took a
few minutes time once I transfered the bearing cone over, real no-brainer
once I thought about it. Replaced the differential/tranny oil with a
GL4/GL5/MT-1 Synth blend while I was at it.
Test drive, shifted great, no weird noises....Success!!! Felt good to take
her out again, I was going through withdrawls.....
Thanks for the help,
Dan Kling
