Great video! Bout to tackle this on a 1967 M54 that I picked up the other day! 2800 bucks not rotted out come to think of it no rust at all which is saying something up in northern maine. Comes complete with canvas for bed and a hardtop! Shes got the multi fuel engine, sat for 15 years I went over everything you talked about in the video of a duece sitting for a decade. Fixed the fuel plate (gummed up) new oil batteries and cables and drove her home. (Luckily it was 3 miles away) but following your directions to the t and its helping!

Thanks for the vid! Just bought a M35 A2 and your info is helping me replace the axel seals and boots on the front. Great info on locating the boot clamps! Would have sucked going through all that and having the clamps pop off. I ended up taking the tie rod off after seeing how difficult it was removing and installing the outer knuckle with the tie rod attached. Maybe I got lucky but a few good whacks with a big brass hammer and the tie rod popped off. I need to replace or rebuild the leaf springs all the way around because the right side front and rear have squatted and the truck is about 1-1/2" to 2" lower on that side. Any suggestions on locating new springs? Thanks again for making the vids!

@tacticalrepair
@tacticalrepair 3 жыл бұрын
not necessary. In fact, it'll make your install more difficult because it'll be slippery at first, making it hard to keep the boot on the lip. As long as you have the lip and the boot edge clean and dry it should be relatively easy to install.

sweet, im in the process of doing this job as well. still on the rears right now. do you got a vids of removing the anchor pins? i had some stuck brake shoes and i just took the clipp and washer off and replaced the shoe, couldnt get the washer to fit so i jus tput the clip back in and pinched it so it wont come off. problem is that i cant adjust the bottom cause the pins are stuck, do i just take the nut off the pin and hit them out or is there a certain way i gotta do it?

Thank you for the great videos, attention to detail, cleanliness etc. Wonderful knowledge! I wish you were my neighbor... I haven't owned a Deuce for about 10 years now and I totally miss it. The bad thing is, that I leave in NYC and it's tough to own one around here. Though I'm hoping to be retiring soon and maybe things will change. The thing with that is also age. I'm not young anymore and with a bad back, working on big/heavy items and peculiar positions, don't seem to work for me any more. To be honest, if I was to entertain one again, I'd need one that's in good shape, serviced and go from there. I would actually prefer and A2 with no winch and I'd like the whistler turbo...Any thoughts, suggestions, would be appreciated..(I know that it wont be cheap these days...)

Hey I have an M35A2 that need the boots doing but mine have zippers on them. Is it the same process for those as well? Do I need to strip it all the way down to do it or the fact they have zippers means that I don't have to strip it down as far? Bearings and brakes are all new last year just before I got the truck, the new boots didn't arrive in time to be done at the same time.
@tacticalrepair
@tacticalrepair 3 жыл бұрын
Zipper boots were meant to be temporary field repairs. you don't have to strip it all down to install them, but if you haven't done so you should. Just because the bearings were done doesn't mean the knuckles were cleaned and greased. Do yourself a favor and install one piece boots. Do it right the first time. Zipper boots don't last long anyway.

I am putting a zipper boot on to replace one that has disintegrated. It is completely a "field repair", since it is literally in a field! How difficult is putting a zipper boot on while leaving the wheel on? Can you even do that? First time I am putting one of these on. I plan to do a complete tear down in the spring. TIA.

You need to at least remove the wheel. You can drive it to a better place to repair it as long as it isn't a hundred miles away.

im soon to being doing this to the M35A2 i just picked up saturday. Am i missing something here? U-Joints are usually sealed, so all that grease is kind of pointless. If it were a CV joint then yes, that grease would have made a lot of sense. Or is this some type of odd non-sealed U-joint? Honest question, not being a dick.

Non sealed. The things that look like seals are just sheet metal covers to keep large debris out of the needles. If you clean it up and look carefully you can see the roller under the "seals".
