Hello, If the oil leaks from the area in front of your wheel carrier where the boot is, its the boot. There is no additional seal. The boot has somewhat of a seal, a metal lip. Once you tap it into it's place, the metal will expand and seal everything of. I am not a mechanic, but got it done without...

That's good info! Thanks.

FYI, I learned that the output pressure for the Malpassi Filter King regulator is supposed to be 1.88 PSI.

Hello, I am thinking about installing an electric fuel pump. Here are a few questions: Is there a good 24V brand, model? What is the PSI required? How would I "plug" the hole on the side of the engine where the mechanical pump is? What is a good PSI for my Malpassi Filter King fuel pressur...

Hello,

There is an initial gear grinding whenever I want to engage the reverse gear. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

Hello,

Is there any way to clean out the fuel tank from floating debris without having to take the whole thing out? What fluid can I use?

Thanks!

On my quest to find an alternative for my worn out front leaf springs, I came across http://www.alcanspring.com/ . The owner is Bill and he has his shop in Grand Junction, CO. If he can't find the spring, he will manufacture it for $600 for the set of two. He does custom work, tweaking the springs t...

Thanks. I received your PM and am very thankful for your help.

Here are some questions I have for those of you, who are true gear heads... After assembling my front right two brake lines, they were disconnected due to my CV boot repair, I am having no pressure on my pedal. Here is the background...I did not have the sealing nipples to prevent the fluid from dra...

All right, I went Advanced Auto Parts, and they rent out a steering linkage puller for free. That was one of the special tools I needed. Next I went to NAPA with one of the bolts that connects the wheel carrier to the axle. Once I matched the tread, I purchased two grade five long bolts with the sam...

I am trying to disconnect the steering from the wheel carrier to start working on putting a new cv boot in. The service manual refers to a puller tool. Of course, I don't have one in my pocket right this moment....anyone any ideas on how to get the steering off without breaking it?

Thanks!

Looking to upgrade my shock absorbers. Does anyone have a suggestion for good shock absorbers for off roading and leaf Springs not ordered through Tatanka? Maybe something cheaper here in the US? Looking at Heystee parabolic springs...
Thanks.

Thank you, I will. If it is, I assume I will have to take the whole thing of to replace it, or is there a shortcut?

All right, I finally had some time to take the front right wheel off to trouble shoot. The first picture is an overview, the second shows a close up and there is a drop of oil forming on the top. I thought that whatever is below the cv boot, is grease lubricated, not oil. Any ideas? I am about to pu...
