Tech team,
Need some wrenching help. Has anyone broken the code on effectively installing the early series 6-226 (54-60?) rear main seal? So far we have tried installing the lovely ropes twice, and have tried a late series neoprene seal kit (which is designed to work if you have installed a crank from a 230). Outback Benjie, you there? If you have done this, and your beloved does not lose her vital fluids after operation, please share with me your secret. Frank, you haven't snuck a sleeping bag out to the garage yet have you? Just checking. Respectfully, Dan |

Captain Dan, the brill cream must not have done the trick.
No sleeping bag yet. I do have coffee with my chassis in the morning before work and I make a point to peek out there in the evening before I go to bed. The sandblaster has been served with my claim and did not respond which means I will be getting a court date in a couple of months unless I can figure out how to file for a default judgment before then. Got my front axle assembly bolted on on Sunday. Looks beautiful. Rear axle next. The rear springs I bought from Carl have some kind of paraffin coating on them. No paint. I asked Carl today (I call him on a daily basis) if I could paint them. He said the wax stuff was just to "lubricate" between the springs and I could paint them with no harm done. Any opinions? I have thought about painting them black like the front pair are painted, but my manual says not to. Cheers, Frank Frank, you haven't snuck a sleeping bag out to the garage yet have you? Just checking.

I've spent some time hanging around at Texas Spring in Amarillo, talking with the owner - *the* authority on spring rebuilds, upgrades, etc in the Texas Panhandle. It's a great big dark shop with a couple of forges, great big trucks parked around with the axles removed (most of his work in commercial), soot everywhere, etc. It's great! He made me four new leafs (the main leaf from each spring), and checked out the rest of my spring packs. His policy was to slap a coat of pain on his newly assembled spring packs (not each leaf separately). I asked him what kind of paint he used. I can't remember the name off hand, but I do recall that he used what he used because it was cheap, not because it was especially good. He said that Kelley Moore KellGuard was very good oil base paint for the frame, etc, but on the springs "it don't really matter because it'll all be gone in six months". That's probably true. I told him not to paint mine, and instead took them home, brushed em up good, primed and painted with the KellGuard, and six months later, they're not looking too great anymore - especially next to each other where they rub. The stationary parts (U bolts, etc) all look fine. My jeep is not street legal and I only use it around home, and the occasional trip (on a trailer) to the mountains. I'm sure if somebody drove their jeep regularly, the spring paint job would look even worse. My advice: Go ahead and paint em. One thing I would have done different is I should NOT have primed them. Since the primer is a different color, as the paint flakes off, the lighter color below shows up, making the job look sloppy. Just put on the black paint only (that's what the spring guy does!).

Can't help you with the seal on a 226, but I did the neoprene rear seal

on my L-134 about two months ago. Before I did it I was told that it probably wouldn't work if the crank or rear main bearing was overly worn, and if it did it'd only work for a "little while". I don't put a lot of miles on it, but after 200 miles or so if its leaking at all its so little that I can live with it. kravitzd@... wrote:

Tech team,I would suggest that you "plastiguage" your bearings and ensure that you are using the correct caps on the correct journals. Hope you marked them when you remeoved them<giggle> Does this help?
