i'll have a rummage around . I may have the bits you need down at the unit
-
three of mine are brand new already but i'll be checking the rest . justin
-
that's exactly what i'd designed in my head ,have ordered some keyway steel and round bar . thanks again. justin yes not too bad at all ,I've ordered some new seals to go between the transfer box and the bevel boxes too
-
thanks Richard . nothing like experienced knowledge over a manual. i'll have a word with Richard bannister and request that type. I don't have an old shaft so will have to make something up I think. ill look up the adjustment details re the intermediate plate . thanks again. regards justin
-
hi bob . i'll probably get two new ones from Richard Bannister but will reline them if he doesn't have any. cheers justin

While replacing the knackered transfer box on our mk2 stolly I decided to check on the clutch plates , both really need changing as there's not much meat .left on them . does anyone have any tips for aligning two clutch plates at the same time before refitting the gearbox /transfer box combo? it looks like the small tabs on the pressure plate had been left in well past the 1\2 wear stage ,is it worth refitting them ? kind regards justin

I have made a mould for making grp night sight covers which apart from genuine hinges being hard to get looks spot on ,but theyre very time consuming to make hence not cheap. justin
-
the sleeves on mine were seized and took a bit of violence to shift them ,getting the circlips back on is even more fun.
-
If I can work out how to do it I'll stick a couple of pics up

On the mark 2 you can remove the centre bevel boxes before the transfer box but you need to remove the front and rear pinion cases first. not sure if mk 1 is different though
-
Can you remove the centre wheel stations and then try and pull the centre bevel boxes out through the hull until the shafts clear of the transfer box? in my head it works but may not in practice . just out of interest did you time up the planet gears in the reduction hubs before you towed it as that could lock the wheel completely . What about large stilsons on the propshafts in the hull? justin

Hi Sean , I'll give Richard a call tomorrow ! all was well with the old girl , even won best military vehicle at a local classic show ,until this morning ! oh well justin
-
Wanted , mk 2 stalwart transfer box , new , recon or good take off cheers justin
-
It looks like I'm in the same boat ! what I assume is the transfer box went bang on the way to a steam fair this morning , no forward drive just nasty noise , reverse drive with very Nasty noise .
-
try A&S
-
you don't need to remove the wheel stations ,just the top off the centre bevel boxes and remove the spacer which splits in two . you can then slide the shaft out from the transfer box ,wind back the oil seals and remove the clamp things . i'd recommend getting the correct manual . cheers justin
-
try Marcus glen or bannisters . you'll need some wellseal too
-
Yes , Sussed it thanks . a friend said he thought they needed to be timed and eventually I found the marks , now back together cheers
-
Next problem ! wheel station all swapped , converted to steering wheel station removed the epicyclic hub, removed the disc and swapped the plate that supports the caliper all good , built it all back up , all good . cant get the epicyclic hub back on ! it goes on easily until you can feel the gears just start to mesh then it stops dead . any ideas , REME tricks .? im quite convinced the stalwart was built by pixies using magic ! justin
-
many thanks for everyones advice . in the end I used a small blob of super glue and the wheel station sailed in .
-
well we got the wheel station out ,swapped the centre bevel box ,and now we've got the wheel station back in to the point where 5mm of the cork seal is left showing and it won't go any further ! the drive shafts seem to be in line and the little peg in the bevel box seems to align with the groove on the big brass swivel housing but it wont go any further ,any ideas? justin
-
i'm hoping mine aren't that bad . I've started on my hydraulic thingy ,hopefully that'll do it . justin
-
it looks possible to me as well . I've got to remove some very stuck pins first in the wishbones . I think i'm going to have to fabricate something hydraulic to get them out .
-
morning all . while changing a centre bevel box , I've discovered the brake disc on that wheel station is mullered ! I have two more wheel stations that are new but they are fixed o/s rear so not set up for steering and the brake caliper is in the wrong place . does anyone know if its possible to swap the around ? cheers justin
-
that sounds the best plan justin
