WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR TRUCK TODAY!

[jason]

HMMMMMMMMMM NO
But they was bloody long and trying to push down on them to get them into the holes on the body was a nightmare.
Did you fit yours.

[colley]

Will have to fit mine a night in the week

[drinksoptional]

I attempted to change the rear shocks an got stuck at the first hurdle the bottom nut came off, the top one would not budge at all siezed solid gave it a good soak with dw40 and it still tight as !!! i gave up and put the bottom nut back on got a feling i may have to goto a garage an get them to get the air ratchet on it or some heat.

Oh joy

WD40 ok i brought some Plus Gas Formula its very good,my front shock bolts wore solid on ,i sprayed some on left 5min and crack came undone

[Road Hog]

Plus Gas is far & away the better release agent WD40 scores more points in the waterproofing department

Where do i get plus gas? and how much is it?

[Drift]

Do they still make it in a tin with a long spout ?

[gregster]

Yes they do A friend....use it myself sometimes, have a can ere, but must admit oxy-acetylene works better at freeing stuff up...
Plusgas is only marginally better than wd40 or soaking in diesel...

[Road Hog]

I used to refill my old tin with white spirit,marvellous "creeping" properties & cheap,the really long spout made it super handy for squirting into awkward places

Now gregster this is me your talking about me and burning gear would not be a good idea.



First no bolts for bullbar then siezed shocker bolts now i lost both my 8mm sockets so i cannot do light bar

I say kiss my thursday

Fuel tank dropped out, split from carrier, cleaned, rehosed and refitted. Carrier, diff, axles and all surrounding chassis/bodywork coated in waxoil whilst I could get to it.

Hopefully no more leaking diesel from a full tank...

[frontydan]

Yet again removed the rear wheel to try and resolve the binding issues following the diff swap..............

Now just about ready to say to the truck and go at it with a bloody big hammer but might settle for a branch off a nearby tree, a la Basil Fawlty.
At times i hate Fronties, and at times i love 'em but by god this one would try the patience of a saint.
Given up for today and will settle for getting p@@@ed.

Cheers
Dan

cheers drift i didnt see the how to tell the wife i need to spend £50.

Last time i done a diff was on a tilt cab bedford truck in 1994

[Drift]

They are more in the region of £60 now but it just may need resealing, also check the breather is not blocked
