Re: Leak from square plug under dash

Did you re-build or replace the Slave Cylinder at the same time? Nope, I've never touched it in the 12 years I've own the 710M; nor had to do either for the 15 years I've owned the 712W. But I have tried to flush they hydraulics (lockers, brakes; can't remember if I done the clutch, or had it done)...

Re: Carb synchronizer

oh I can relate! :D Especially when, despite the engine running very well, I don't get the combination of settings the manual and knowledgeable mechanics say you should have. Drives me nuts as I ask myself - why? What am I missing (probably a lot given my troubleshooting experience). My carbs are cu...

Re: Pinz 710M in Hawaii 50

I guess I have not seen that episode yet... Ironically, I have not seen a 710 on Oahu. Only 712s. I'll keep my eyes (more) open! Aloha - X

Re: Cab lighting and solar panel

VERY nice! Appreciate the details/lessons learned!

Couldn't help but notice your seats - would love to see a better pic, did they require custom mounting plates, and any other key thoughts/comments you have on them.

Re: Pinzi SSI

Add me to the list of satisfied SSI owners! :D Install was easy & it made a big difference in performance! You DO NOT need to be a pro mechanic for this upgrade...if you can read, follow directions, and are handy with tools in general - go for it! Great customer service too! Mahalo again, Rick!!

Re: How to repair the clutch?

Last time I was in that clutch, managed to drop the push rod into the bell housing. I had to pull it apart again to retrieve it and start again. It made me grumpy. :lol: yea that push rod is a pain...dropped it too but luckily could pull it out without taking it apart again! Man that musta sucked b...

Clutch job 100% complete :D See? I am trainable... Some tips I wish someone told me that will help the fellow rookies out there knock out this task much quicker than I did (in addition to info/instructions found here: http://real4x4forums.com/PinzgauerBBS/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=5615&hilit=clut...

Re: How to repair the clutch?

and the answer is: use a bigger pry bar... Obviously I was over-concerned for nothing. Once I verified things using exploded parts diagrams, I went at it harder. Gearbox is off, throw out bearing looks great, new parts installed, bell housing cleaned up, spline greased - ready to reinstall the gearb...

Re: How to repair the clutch?

Just confirmed: 6 bolts connect bell housing to engine - all 6 removed. "black cover" = clutch housing cover; reveals push-rod, etc. Given exploding parts diagram, it sure looks like that rod should simply slide out from slave cylinder as you pull the bell housing/gearbox away from the eng...

Re: How to repair the clutch?

Use a small jack to support the gearbox and keep everything aligned straight. Did you disconnect the gearshift shaft? Yes - I mistakenly called the gearshift shaft a "clutch fork" in the orig post :mrgreen: Yes - I have a jack supporting the gearbox BUT, as you can hopefully see in the pi...

How to repair the clutch?

Aloha folks...yes the new guy has yet another issue I'm requesting help on... As some of you may know, after months of elec ignition & timing/mixture/RPM & valve adjustments (learned a lot), my starter died. Replaced the starter the other day, then my clutch went out during the test drive af...
