Thread: What am I doing in this corner ????

Gearbox with cast on bell housing would be Chrysler Torque-Flite 727, they also ran the solid front drive shaft to get clearance from the sump. Borg-Warners had bolt on bell housings.

Other end of Banjo Tube, in engine bay, RH side. ????

Torque-Flite 727 it is then.
New ball joint Rubber boots were in the tool box. Ball joints them selves seems really good.
So pulled the steering rods apart, cleaned the ball joints up, sprayed in some grease, fitted new boots, then sprayed more in the top, to 'Pack' it.
Had to tap out the two holes holing the steering dampener, under the axle housing.
A NEW in packet, Tough Dog one in tool box. Could find anything wrong with original one,
except needing new bushes, which I had, front one of my girls cars, so used them and fitted original one.
Just new hoses, and bleed.
Getting close.

Ordered hoses from MR Automotives, Redland Qld, yesterday at 10.30am. Arrived today.
Great, helpful service. Apparently Uk made hoses, from good Uk supplier. ????
Double the price of the cheapies.
5 hoses, $12 postage.

Goodridge braided hoses, guaranteed for life?

New hoses fitted. Secondary system bled up ok.
Primary didn't.
Only way was to have the motor running, then eventually it came good.
couldn't stop the warning switch leaking. put in a small blanking plug.
Down the paddock for a run. RH CV clicked a bit. Back up, filled up with oil, also checked Transfer box.
No oil. Only two things I didn't check, but was on the list, before doing to much. 20/50 in Transfer case. OK ???? doing sort of flush, anyway
Back in paddock, all things seemed.
Shall I, yes causally down the road, nothing to much. Phone, in case a tow home was needed. couple of klms then back to a mates for a beer, before home. Brakes coming better with use.
Squeaking fan belt needs adjusting. Back on ramps tomorrow to check for leaks.
Also fitted the little fuel filter JS660, old one very dirty and a throw away one, in line after the main one.
Ready for Blue slip, soon,I think.
