Joey Mack Posted Monday at 07:06 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:06 PM The front drive has 3 drain and fill plugs, the rear has 2.

Is it the same oil for the front axle and the back ? 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/4/#findComment-573678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Mack Posted Monday at 07:23 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:23 PM Same oil in both. The check/fill plug is at the rear of the banjo housing. When these rears have been filled, you only check and fill at that rear plug. The oil is carried from the bowl throughout the carrier via the gears and troughs.... 🍻 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/4/#findComment-573680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these common in Europe? Not exactly like, but a version of our piston type spring brake chambers. I guess in Europe, they know enough not to remove the bolts holding the chamber together with out caging it in some way, so don't need our idiot-proof non serviceable chambers that are required here,. I have similar MGM piston chambers with the big snap ring on the rear cover/lid on my Marmon. https://mgmbrakes.com/files/4815/8153/4411/MGMBRAKES_PISTON_BRAKES_FINAL.pdf Edited 11 hours ago by Geoff Weeks Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/4/#findComment-573728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these common in Europe? Yeah they are quite common over here in the uk. There’s so many different ones now. They are a lot easier to work with just unscrew the middle bolt to release the handbrake saves having caging bolts Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75366-clutch-swap/page/4/#findComment-573762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
