Weberman Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I've started soaking bolts down. I remember having to disconnect the rear end and the driveshaft once to get it to move and I dont think it was bad, hopefully these wont be either. I've also started soaking down bolts in the front end. I'm going to be replacing tie rods, ball joints, coil springs, shocks and gonna try the adjustable camber bushings for/with the new springs. Picked this up today at the junkyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Picked this up today at the junkyard. That's a good upgrade to a Bullnose. Love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArdWrknTrk Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Picked this up today at the junkyard. Did you get the low fluid warning plug that fits in the opposite side? It's always nice to have that functioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did, grabbed some wire and the connector. Could someone tell which wires get spliced into? Where is the connector for ours and which ones on the new one do I connect? Along with the other stuff, I'm going to be doing brakes in the front too. Also I saw one I was originally going to take with an extra port. I'm guessing this was for cruise control?

The low reservoir switch is analogous to the check spool switch in the multi function valve of a Bullnose era brake system. And, of course, now you have the residual pressure check valve right at the MC. Yes, an extra port was likely to serve as safety backup to disengage the speed control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I was just wondering since there were 3 wires on the reservoir. Just switch the lines and that's it? No taking anything else off in the system?

No taking anything else off in the system? Didn't take it out but did loosen/check bolts on the transfer case. Most were fairly easy to get off. The only ones I don't know about for sure is the front driveshaft ones since I'll need a wrench, but if theyre anything like the back ones, they'll be good. How does the speedo cable come off? Does it just pull out? Twist and pull out? I have that bolt/tab off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so, just double checking before I go yanking and break something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weberman Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I thought so, just double checking before I go yanking and break something. Got the driveshafts removed and the speedo cable out. Guess I'll be doing a front U joint for sure as when I took one side off, the cap slid and let some needles out so. Not too upset since who knows how old they are.
