Don Coatney Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 we unbolted the housing and it almost came completely off without taking the hubs out or the drums off... Unbolted the housing from what? The springs? Quote
greg g Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 You should really try to find a shop manual before your enthusiam causes you unneeded problems. A reproduction manual is a good investment and will likely pay for itself. Quote
makkelsay Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 I have a manual And we unbolted the pumpkin and that's what almost came off Quote
1948Skip Posted February 1, 2009 Report Posted February 1, 2009 Makkelsay, You say you do have a manual. Maybe you should read it. The drums are the first to come off. Then the backing plate and then the axels come out. THEN the punkin gets unbolted. Skip Quote
makkelsay Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Posted February 1, 2009 Ok I guess I'm just not asking my question right But for clarification ill try again I know the drums come off first and so on We unbolted the pumpkin to get a peak at the gears and if they were any good or not...we didn't expect it to almost fall off Heck I don't even know what I'm trying to ask Just delete this thread Quote

I took lots of pics. send me an email address and I can forward some to you. If the axels are still in place I guess that the pumpkin could come out about an inch or so then the axels would stop it from falling out. Quote
dezeldoc Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 Hmm maybe you should stick to bicycles. Quote
makkelsay Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 Hmm maybe you should stick to bicycles. oh if this was the HAMB i could actually say something:mad: i know how to build and work on cars for the most part...i dont deal with rear axles much the only time ive delt with one is putting a locker in my toyota rear axle and that was cake compared to this stone age design:p i would have thought with age most of you would be able to figure out what i was asking but apparently thats not the case...oh well:D Quote
dezeldoc Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 If this were the hamb you would have been flamed to death by now!! You know how the communication gap is between the young and old!!! Quote
makkelsay Posted February 2, 2009 Author Report Posted February 2, 2009 flamed...na i can ask dumb questions around here cause it keeps the elders on their feet:D Quote
RobertKB Posted February 2, 2009 Report Posted February 2, 2009 The thing about being older is that you have been there and done that. Being younger means you are often learning as you go. That's what this forum is about.....helping others and having some fun. I am 60 this month but I sure remember being 21. I don't feel any older than early 30's but then I look in the mirror. Quote
