ah ok if the old pipe desovled by muratic acid id put a couple drops and let it disolve the metal i seen what it does to aluminum it ate my snowmobile chain case so i had to wash and sand it etc lucky i didnt leave it in more then 1 hour or nothing left

well i did get some pb blaster.. and gave a couple shots in there last night then this morning.. and what good is wd40 then? or is it no good for anything as i have a bunch of cans of it as i thought it was penetrating oil for years

and will the acetone/trans loosen up any locktite too.. and what be the best easy out to get that piece out as i only gonna get one chance at it really.. and if filins got in there from drilling is there no magnet to get the filings?
kroil oil i re looked up 8oz is 46 bucks if i wanted 1gal 256 bucks or so... for that stuff it better work soo good i can use fingers to un thread it lol

 

WD-40 is a good lubricant, and helps keep things dry as well. It will displace water wherever it finds it..... I use it on things like door lock cylinders, and such, things you don't want accumulating water, and freezing on you.

I use pb blaster, it works great for me, and the manufacturer isn't quite as proud of it as the folks at Kroil..... (they seem to think their stuff is make of platinum......)

Use an easy out the will fit down into the hole in what's left of the vent tube. Keep in mind, easy outs are VERY hard, but, that makes them brittle too. So, apply pressure to it evenly, don't beat on it, or use it with and impact. That will shatter it right quick.

Muriatic acid may work as well, drip some around there the pipe threads into the diff tube, see if it doesn't help.

 

i used wd40 to spray on plug wires does that help as i remember sometimes wires get wet and dont work least i remember my dad told me years ago ..
ya the kroil made out of platinum for sure that or comes with a naked girl with every purchasse lol like a liqour bottle and you get the sample with it lol

these are the bolt screw extractors i have im guessing these ones are not good enough?? and if not which ones you recommend
and ill try to drip some muratic accid ontop of the pb blaster stuff too maybe it help

this is what i have but i find it junk

so i run into problems... i did get the vent tube out well left it partly in so dirt doesnt come out.. but i cant buy that vent tube or the plastic one was told to goto the dealer ... so thats gonna cost a fortune

but i was re assembling the pass sidde brakes.. it wont go together.. .. this truck has had mixed parts and i dunno.. maybe i did brakes wrong.. but the drum wont frigin go on shifted the brakes etc nothing......... its damn tight

 

Did you turn the adjuster all the way in, so it is at it's shortest?

 

ye what you see in the pics is the current settings u can see its threaded all the way in.. apparently supposed to have a washer in there too... you can see the measurement of the inside of the drum too not sure if that helps as as i dont know measuresments but what you see is what i currently have it setup to

 

From what I can see, it *should* go back on there. Is it just not lining up properly?

 

it wont let me push on over the brakes but these the brakes for 2000 i cant get it to slide around the brakes.. and i dunno what these parts are and if they are important? thats why i gave measurement of the inside drum size its like 10 15/16 on the tape measure
im sure if i hammer the drum on it will go on but it should just slide on loose but i cant even start the brakes are holding things back to slide on.. this truck has been a nightmare really
and these 2 things i cant figure out either

 

Is there a lip of rust on the drum? May have to get 'em turned.

 

no not that i can see.. i didnt do the driver side yet i miss placed the 2 little **** to go in the damn cylinder so didnt finish that brake..
but i took that drum and tried shoving on it wont go on either.. are there different specs for that year different drums as i was told that was a bad year its a messed up yet
as now i dunno and dont know how to find out
