    If you think its only one axle I would check the air pressure on a the other axles and the suspect one to check they are all the same I would use three gauges at once to check everything is balanced Also I would check the slack adjusters are all pinned in the sam e hole And that the S cams are all spinning freely, they should super smooth and be able to turn them by hand with the shoes and springs putting pressure on And they should roll back smooth and gentle with just the shoe sprongs pulling them back Paul

    I was led to believe that shutters were there for after climbing a big hill and you ran down the other side the the water didnt cool to quickly and crack a head I'm guessing this is even more important when working were it's very cold Is it even a concern on a hobbie truck ? Probably not Paul

    If you have a half decent piece of paint from the interior left you could just get it colour matched No one (including the so call experts) will know if it isnt spot on as it cant ever be put exactly bedside another cab interior Paul

    When your talking cold, what sort of temp are you talking Cold in Australia is different than other places around the world As to the oil I cant advise if it's ok or not I would check the air pressure and make sure the regulators are working correctly I would as check the filter and the exhaust to make sure it is clear Paul

    Watching the new Bond movies was one of the things I really looked forward to It appears I couldn't even be left to enjoy that, the political correct fun police have taken that away as well Paul

    Hang on a minute everyone is getting a tad excited here I'm pretty sure your clutch is slighty different than the ones in double clutching picture No need to undo the bolts, just put pressure on the head of the bolt and you will find the bolt is spring loaded and will push in While holding it in turn it (at a guess anti clock wise) and once in position release Sort of rock it left and right to make sure it is locked in again Im pretty sure there is no need to remove any bolts on this clutch Good luck Paul

    I would try adjusting the clutch by the bolt in the pressure plate to bring the throw out bearing back towards the motor end and off the clutch brake until the measurement is 3/4 of a inch between the throw out bearing and the clutch brake I think you will find it will work then Paul
  22. mrsmackpaul
    Did you adjust the clutch at all With the discs out of something else and the pressure plate from the truck with a worn out clutch it may well be a long way out of adjustment and already adjusted as if fully pressed Paul

    I have a bit of a chuckle at the voting above The E9 is winning but I wouldn't say it was the best by a long way They sounded good, pulled like a train but didn't last and I have never heard of one doing a million miles like a E6 Paul

    Thanks for letting us know Glad he is ok and just like the rest of us has a whole other life going on outside the forum Paul

    Dunno what your plans are for cleaning the inside of the fuel Some people have used the cement mixer method with good success I normally just cut the end off and weld it back on If you are gunna cut the end off and are worried about it going bang, just dangle a air line in with it running for a few minutes before you start and leave it running the whole time your working on it This purges any explosive fumes out and makes it safe What ever you do dont fill it with water or worse still water and soap as this gives fumes a spot to be trapped Paul
