may need a new pumkin

[Leeway]

Pinion bearings failed, can't get the outer race out of the rear drive unit.the outer race is still in the housing. It would appear that this remaining race has been staked by what ever has marred the housing around the periphery of that bore which the outer race mates to. It is my assumption that the needle bearing into a (blind hole), (terminology?) would be of a slip fit. I may just be beating a dead horse trying to fix it, but I can't ride,what else can I do while I watch for one on ebay! Any one got a used pumpkin for a second Gen they want to part with?

Ive got 1 off my 2nd gen. It leaks oil and I found a sweet deal on ebay on an almost new one. It was listed funny and I got it cheap.

 

What's a leaky 2nd gen differential worth nowadays?

You sure you want a 2nd gen pumkin (99 - current)???? As you will have to plug the speedo sensor hole.

 

Not positive, but Masterguns may still have a 1st gen Mk2 pumkin......

Wayne,

 

Could you check to see if you have a shim under the ring gear, between the housing & ring gear.

 

Also can you measure the thickness of the thrust washer that is on the ring gear hub, its about 1 1/2" in dia.. It sits around the hub protrusion into the main housing. It will be around 3/32" thick.

 

There are increments of these two shims available.

 

I have an FJR rear end that is locking up when I torque the wheel down and I think it might need different shims.

 

If you don't need these I would be interested in them.

Hey Mike, your in my back yard let us talk turkey! I'm sure we can arrive at an amicable arrangement. PM a time to call so we can chat. This medium of communicating, is a slow process for me! It's a continuous hunt and peck affair. XD:fingers-crossed-emo

Gary i'll check the that which you ask. I was thinking there were three possibly more thicknesses for that shim. Having looked at the catalog schematic again there are 5 thicknesses listed. I measured mine it is .073 approximately. I used dial caliper.the Cat. has a designation;

(.SHIM, THRUST (1.2T) UR) = .047" SKU: 22U-46118-00-12

(SHIM, THRUST (1.4T) UR) = .055"

( SHIM, THRUST (1.6T) UR) = .063"

(SHIM, THRUST (1.8T) UR) = .071"

(SHIM, THRUST (2.0T) UR) = .078"

I'm checking into the FJR as a possible replacement. I need to check it out some more. Hope this is helpful Gary!

just put patches away, took a spin to the grocery store, I may have a different chirp, but say for certain. It seemed to performing it's pumpkin job well! I'll give it a good test tomorrow!

 

Mike am truly grateful, to be back on the road again, it is the best therapy I've found when it all s&@#ks!

 

It was great meeting you and Allen, that little place in Utica was real treat, thanks for making me spend more money at J. C. Whitney. Can't wait to get back up that way on two wheels.
