THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

Yup, exactly the case. Ordered the kit from Mcmaster, with metric rivnuts, and a bunch of M6 bolts. All stainless.
Truck was soda/ glass blasted yesterday. Before I replace the lever, all the POR-15 and topcoat work.
There are many rivnuts in the truck...

Clive I'll mix up some. The standard liquids I've used so far has not been working. The oxidation on the alloys, especially the rivnuts is bad. I've had mixed results with the impact driver. It works well on solid threads, but not on the rivnuts. It tends to loosen them, then they rotate. But so we ...

Thanks guys. I'll do this on all of them.
They seem to have used the same method on the access panels.

So how do I remove the wood side rubbing strips?
Some unscrew, some just turn. This makes me think there are " not so captive" nuts turning on the inside. Probably corroded to heck.
Is there a way to access the backside?

Thanks

Thanks. Comments appreciated. I'm not leary if it will work. I know it will - being originally from a location in Africa where metal started rusting in less than 12 hours. I was more curious if there were other solutions. Not the easiest location to get to quickly. I have not been able to remove the...

Gents I just replaced the shift lever on the transfer case because the ball joint connection was rusted solid, with the cable sheared cleanly. Obviously the PO never used the transfer case. Looking at the replacements, and the challenge in getting/cleaning this everytime, it looks like the ideal app...

Thanks Andre! The grease will also help with the corrosion. Not that this replacement is done often, but if it was, a jig than braced itself under the filler elbow would be worth the time. Something that "guides" the tip down and keeps it there. I'll send you a PM on another topic. Cheers C

Gents So I replaced the hose that connects the fill spout with the fuel tank. This hose and the clamps are then covered by the bellows style seal that fits in the floor behind the passenger seat. Interesting exercise to (say the least) to manipulate this in place, clamp it top and bottom, and keep t...

Oh, Based on my recent bank statement, it must then be a lot!
Four orders from supporting vendors and the list keeps growing...

That's why this will be a four year (minimum) Tetrus game - blocks dropping faster than I can knock them off - for now.

Any Alberta owners of 710's? Specifically the Calgary area? I've been lurking quite a while, but finally took the plunge with a 710K. Long rehab road ahead - but what else to do in winter! Eat the elephant one small bite at a time! First time the truck was parked in the driveway, the neighbor commen...
