OK,
So I go to roll the CJ outta the shop, and it won't move :-|

Found the right front 'locked up'. Jacked it up, tire won't roll, removed the tire and put a 4' prybar on it, won't move. Pulled the hub assy apart and found the inner bearing was "josayed". Guess that explains the pull to the right :mrgreen: Or in military parlance it's AFU!! As in the inner bearing came apart and I scooped the rollers out with the grease :shock:

So, now I'm looking for parts for a Dana-44 that I thought was from a Waggy, but the numbers don't match the book nor do they match Nygords list of flat top knuckles :shock: The Jeep part CD pictures are really blurry (and yes, I'm wearing my glasses 8) ).

So, what I have is:
Pumpkin is a D44, no BOM data on the tubes or webbing???? What's up with that?!?!?!
Knuckles, flat top, High steer (look like a Chevy or FSJ dana 44) And by the way MC, the new Heims look MARVELOUS on that 1.5 DOM :!: I especially like the adjuster :t:
knuckle casting number of 636519 (or C36519?)
Nothing on the DISC brake, or rotor assy (really rusty and need blasting) has a 6 bolt mount to the knuckle.
Shaft is a 19 outter, 29 inner(?) Shouldn't that be 30 or 31???
inner seal 47(2?)71 (rusty and cann't get a clear look)
Inner race LM104910
Inner BRG LM104949 (this is the one I scooped the rollers out of the grease)
Outter BRG LM501(3 OR 9)49-N (BRG is blue from heat and hard to read.
Outter race LM5011310

Any help is appreciated!! :mrgreen:

Those bearings were the same for many many .......many many years. Just ask for a 77 wagoneer...you cant go wrong :?:

bearing numbers are sometimes brand specific and if your parts store has a different brand than what was in there the numbers might not match and their cross reference books arent always complete

NAPA lists them as a 77 waggy. just leave the prefix off the bearing number so your LM104949 would just be a 104949 NAPA's part number is PLM104949 for the same part. the prefix is usually brand specific

Mudrat

03-24-2009, 02:14 PM

All is good info, thanks.
Fuzz, thanks bro!! The list you provided indicates whomever replaced the bearings used a different race for the inner bearing than what the 'SET 38' indicates. Don't know if the difference between a 104910 and a 104911, but this is the bearing that came out in pieces :roll: But another page shows it correct for a different year (77RC-83) - so I'm still confused as to the year of this beast (supposed to be an 87 from what the PO told me??)

Now what's the casting number on the knuckle? Is it Chevy or Jeep, or ??? :oops: going to replace the ball joints and roller BRGs while I'm in there - just in case :wink:

A Google search on the casting number gets me some wierd stuff :?:

I mean really, what would YOU do with "CLARINS Retractable Lip Definer 09 Dusty Rose" on your hub :-| :!: :mrgreen: :?

03-24-2009, 05:26 PM

If you know it's a Dana 44, they all used the same ball joints, be it Jeep, Chevy, or Dodge. I do think the Fords were different (but so were the knuckles). Just tell them it was a 77 Wagoneer, you'll get the right ball joints.

Make sure you have the correct tool to tighten the top taper. If you don't install it right, the ball joints won't last.

The procedure is to install the bottom ball joint and torque to spec, then install the top taper and torque to 50 ft/lbs, then install the top nut and torque to spec.

Thanks Bob,
I looked in the manual about this one. It looks like the ball joints are a press fit (I have a 20 ton shop press) and then just torq it down - bottom first then top - to spec??

tufcj

03-24-2009, 07:52 PM

Yep. Ball joints press into the knuckle. You need a piece of tube just slightly smaller than the diameter of the ball joint, you don't want to press directly on the bolt.

The taper in the top hole is threaded, you want to take it out. The new top ball joint should come with one. Here's the procedure my 74 Jeep TSM has.

Set the knuckle in place and torque the lower ball joint to 120 Ft/lbs.

Thread in the upper taper and torque to 50 ft/lbs. This requires a special socket. http://completeoffroad.com/c-59818-hub-spindle-ball-joint-tools.html

Tighten the upper ball joint nut to 100 ft/lbs.

The taper pre-loads the ball joints. If you don't get it right, they won't last long. The $20 socket is worth it.

It's the same as a Dana 30 front. As a matter of fact, the Dana 30 and 44 use the same ball joints. I bought mine years ago for my CJ.

I used an 18 inch crescent wrench when I did a buddies ball joints
Tried an 18" pipe wrench (adjusted correctly) - was afraid I was going to pull the Jeep off the jack stand!!! Found the right socket at Northern Tool for the impact wrench today :t:
tomorrow - the AIR TOOLS!!!! :mrgreen:

Like I told Fuzz on the phone, whomever put this axel together didn't know what the &uck they were doing!! It took the spindle nut socket and about 250+ pounds of impact hammer to get the outter nut loose!! They had jacked this thing so tight the slotted washer was starting to thread and the pin on the inner nut was sheared off (might have been part of the problem with the outter bearing coming out in pieces and the race being a perd'y shade of blue??)

Next is the diff - if they can't assemble a wheel bearing right- I doubt the locker is set right. (the rear wasn't too bad though?) And I'm hoping the cost of buying and rebuilding somebody's elses 44 is STILL going to be less than a new one (or a D60FF) :oops:

We'll see . . . :-|

Oh, did I mention the 5 nuts holding the brake caliper mount on weren't even tightened down? 111!!! THAT is the cause of a total rebuild. The dumb ba$tards who "built" this axle got one over on me. A$$ hole!!! :(: If I could find his e-mail or phone number we would have a discussion - but my hard drived crashed and I lost all that ::evil:

03-29-2009, 08:28 PM

Guess I forgot to mention - 1 nut was missing :oops: 6 studs, 5 nuts and not all of them run down to the brake plate.

Got it sandblased yesterday, beat the rust out & straightend the flange, then welded 'fingers' back down and fixed up some holes, blasted it again then gave it 2 coats of rust preventive paint. when I get the ball joints replaced and the knuckle painted I can reasemble. I've got the rotor, knuckle and spindle soaking in degreaser :wink:

heat it up and spray it with PB blaster and let it sit for a night or two. do these balljoints use the snap rings? make sure they dont cause those will cause a lot of problems.

Mudrat

04-01-2009, 11:07 AM

Only snap ring I've found is the bottom ball joint and it looks like it's used just for a depth setting, not holding anything.
:-|
The upper joint is the same way, snap ring on the outside of the 'C' as a depth gauge. I did notice when I finally got the knuckle off, it looked like the upper joint was canted 1-2*. My first attempt was to press it back in and try and straighten it, but it didn't move in either 111!!!

Guess I'll need to take some pix ... :idea:

Finally got a chance to get the rotor down to the brake shop - he won't turn'm because of the rust pits - yeah their ugly, but didn't think they were that bad!!!

So the search is on for replacement disc brake rotors. I like the ones at SSBC (http://www.ssbrakes.com/commerce/brakefinder/?make=JEEP&model=GRAND%20WAGONEER%2C&engine=5%2E9L%20%2F%20GAS%20%2F%20CARB%20%2F&year=1986&cat=Front%20Brakes&sub=Rotors%20%26%20Pads), but NOT for $290.00 (just the rotors!) :shock: But they are slotted and cross drilled :wink: BUT $110.00 for replacement pads?!?!?! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
There's a pair of OEMs on EBAY (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1971-1986-GM%2fJeep-Wagoneer-Disc-Brake-ROTOR-SET,dana-44_W0QQitemZ250410273427QQcmdZViewItem) for $44.00

The search is just starting for new rotors - but *crap* again and really nasty curses on the A$$hole that got over on me :(:

Mudrat

05-08-2009, 03:49 PM

W-AILLLLLL the saga continues ....

Got some time to reassemble the parts, it was a real B1TCH to get the spindle in. After the rubber dead blow, I took the air wrench to the studs and then went to get the rotors turned - 3 shops said no, too pitted. So I ordered new ones (EBay $44 for the pair =D> ). I took today off to finish bead blasting the hub and parts and reassemble - something wasn't right - WAY to muich force to get parts to fit (especially the spindle into the 'C') 111!!! .

So now I find the outer 'C' is "BENT" :shock: Don't know if it was the pressure needed to extract the ball joints, the heat added to make that happen or a combination, but when I seated the brake caliper, spindle, and tried to get the rotor/hub assy on, it didn't fit right. Not to mention there is no room for a grease zerk with the axle in there 111!!!

Took the hub off and looked at how the spindle and the backing plate was 'seated' and it's not flush with the knuckle :shock: Top and bottom there is better than 3/32" between the brake support and the spindle, the sides are tight. :(:

"Ready to run" my ass!!!! These frigg'n axles are costing me time and $$$$ Not looking good for the FSJ Invasion right now - I'll be in FL for a month between now and then :smile:

tufcj

05-09-2009, 08:52 AM

There's NEVER room for a zerk in the upper ball joint. They usually include a plug with new ones for that reason. Once the ball joint is installed, put in the zerk, fill with grease, then swap in the plug. THEN you can install the axle shaft.

Don't know how it could have warped, even with heat. That's pretty stout cast steel.

Keep working at it, I'm sure you'll get it solved.

Stud has been cut and drilled. After this pic I stepped up the bits until there was barely any material remaining and then I was able to use a scribe to pull the rest of the stud out. 111!!!

Stud has been removed and drilled to size. Notice on the second hole how the material has been lifted, you can see the witness ring. :shock:

Negative - getting home after 1800 this week I just didn't feel like working in the shop. I need to pick up a 9/16 tap and clean the threads. I tried screwing in one of the new studs and could only get about 3 threads in before binding. I want to clean them ALL up before I screw the pooch again. It'll get done this weekend.

As for the venison - need to see how this season goes. I got registered for an "all-you-can-shoot" hunt in Nov. The place is over ridden with deer and they have 4 days a season that are this way. I sat on the phone 45 minutes wating to make reservations and I got 1 day out of 4. Go figure. 111!!! But what my buddy said, he culled 4 of them a day in '07, with a bow!! I have one now. I just need to learn how to shoot it better :oops:

Let me know about the tap/die situation as I have a few kicking around the garage... I know that those 9/16"-18 holes are good... If anything, there might be residual debris in the threads...

I'm pretty sure the 9/16-18 taps are NF.... The studs aren't metric are they? :wink: J/K

Check your threads with a thread pitch gauge and then measure the outside diameter of the studs with your dial caliper, let me know what you get.

09-06-2009, 02:09 PM

Yeah, I'm sure it's 9/16 and since you tapped them, you know they are!! And Lowes, Home Depot, Sears and Northern don't carry tap/dies that size - unless you want to buy a full $129 kit at Sears :shock:

I cleaned the crap out of them again and spun the studs in without too much effort. Took the wrench, but didn't thread the lock nut - so not difficult.

So, as I was fitting it all back together ...

I'm just getting pissed off at this thing. I want to get it on the road and I'm tired of dealing with crap that's not 'supposed' to happen!!! This is basically a rebuild (with additions) - so why did AMC screw things up so badly?? No forethought??

Still have the brake issue and the tranny to sort out and maybe then I can get it out of the shop. Bad thing is, tomorrow is my last day off for the month!!!! ](*,)

What's not supposed to happen? :idea: It's a Jeep, everything (good and bad) is supposed to happen :?

Seeing that I'm wrapping up most of the small stuff on my Dirty Shagg'n Wag'n I'll have a little free time on my hands... Plus my wife is fricken... well, I'm sure you can draw a conclusion to what comes next... :roll:

Anyway, Let me know if you need a hand... trust me, I know what it's like to be a one man crew and then want things done only to have to wait due to schedules or unexpected "things" popping up... :smile:

Slowly but surely she'll be on the road... remember, you owe me a ride... lol :!:

So what's on the agenda for the Jeep in the next month? If you need a helping hand Pat... You have my number.

In a week I am picking up some axles (D60/FF14) from JERSEY JOE... I'm getting rid of the other axles taking up space in the garage... :!: Next is the CJ/YJ Tub... $300 and it's gone...
For the CJ,
Brake adaptors, bleed brakes, finish the high steer, add on the stabilizer, and probably need to swap out the T-5 for something heavier to handle the motor, either the 727 sitt'n here or the 465. I have the P-Plate & flywheel or the 727 and flexplate. Would like to keep the 300 twin stick since I just rebuilt it with the terra low kit, then it's drivable again. Afterwards I can finish the cage. :-)
You got duty this weekend? We can go snag the wag hood and whatever else you need and get this puppy rolling :t:
