Good thing I found a can of rust oleum enamel.



I guess I should've use red to keep Don happy

That's great Joey! I'll be copying this before the next ride. I'm really glad to see it worked thanks for the info

I've only been on one ride since applying the stop squeal, but so far no squeaks.

It may start squeaking tomorrow but it looks like right now I'm good.

What band clamp tool did you use? The one I tried to use, wanted to tear the ear off. Ended up using the corners of my vise to get them to lock.

Are those just slip joints or special clamp pliers?

 

[AK_Centurion]

This is what I tried for those clamps.

These work for the other style, like on the steering.

I should be back in action now. I'll know tomorrow if it makes any noise or not. I'll still order a new one tomorrow to have on hand in case this one fails pretty soon.

Are your shafts touching the arms? Looks like you might see worse shaft angles than I do.

We used to use them for water lines but I've used them for garden hoses, transmission cooler lines, etc. you can get the tool and an assortment of clamps for a reasonable price.

It's on the lift right now so the suspension is at full droop. Here's a pic at full droop....

Man, I wish you had made that video when I had to take apart my first shaft!

Looks like I got work to do before the Friday ride. I will get a new one on the way but go ahead and rebuild this one.

Holy cow!! Now that's what I call a "ripped" CV boot! Joey is such an overachiever lol.

I believe I will keep using stock axles because if I upgrade the axle strength, the next thing to break could be the differential.

Smart man

 

[Delton]

My wheels have been taking a beating as well. I'm gonna have to do something about that.

I think wheel damage just means you've been enjoying your machine lol

I agree with this logic 100%... Working in the world of industrial gearboxes, I'm positive that the failure mode will show-up somewhere else. Weak links are a good thing, especially when they are easily accessible and relatively inexpensive!
