Hello,
5.0GXI with an SX-M outdrive in case it matters. To be completely honest, even with my other boats in the past, I never really paid too much attention to my trim. Nose all the way down, get on plane as fast as possible and then I only bump the nose up a bit after getting on plane just...
Thank you. Yes I had planned on setting the carrier in the sun/oven for a while and putting the races in a bag in the freezer when installing to hopefully get me a bit of an easier install. The truth of the matter is that this venture started because I had about 1/3 of a shot glass of gear oil...
I cleaned the heck out of these bearings. Kept the work area spotless as I could and greased everything. Fresh crush sleeve and bolt too. Still feels lumpy so I've likely got a bad bearing unfortunately.
I do have one question though. Is it possible that my cheap china made dial torque...
Unfortunately the boat came cracked like this. Bracket is also snapped a bit needs replaced. Is this outer cracked shell just a shell and the unit inside is sealed? It was definitely working last time I used it just curious if it should be replaced??
Thanks
I was attempting to set the rolling torque on this SX-M carrier over the weekend. As I got closer to the final torque spec the bearings started to feel "lumpy". Not gritty or anything. Its just smooth then resistance then smooth ect. The races feel smooth as can be and visually the rollers look...
MarinePartsSource where I ordered from is showing that this is an OEM replacement (I admittedly didn't realize the change in number when ordering and the difference in the picture). Strange that VPShop doesn't show this though. I guess I'll just run it.
New number is 23492730
Very nice. Thank you.
Looks like i'll be trying the following from that thread.
Neapco 1-005 NOTE: This ujoint may have grease zirks in caps. DO NOT use if they do.
Spicer 5.4x
Precision 344
Rockford K4
Any chance that Precision 344's are the same as Moog 344's? Ive seen a lot about Moog and...
Hello.
Just want to make sure that VP changed the design for sure on this seal before I install it. Also I'm assuming I should install it where the flat side is out with the new design like in picture labeled "1"?
VP Part Number - 3852272
Thanks
Crush sleeve just installed tonight but noticed something about the new seal which I'm making a separate post about.
Bought a dial torque wrench for this job. Hope it works ok. Its a cheaper one not the $3-400 good brands.
Man I really wish someone knew the part/specs for the automotive...
