Rear end back together....  kinda-sorta..
Centric brake shoes only had adjusting rivets on 2 of the 4 shoes...
so one side is complete..  might try and throw some long pop rivets in there before I tear into the axle, again...
Hubs refreshed, packed, sealed and installed..
New brake lines are in order from flex hose to wheel cylinders.  the combination of home market lines, NAS hydraulic parts and aftermarket fittings will be interesting...
Diff cover blasted and working on a couple layers of paint before install.






Pinion seal as always presented its own level of problems...
no real torque setting for pinion nut, crush sleeve is already crushed, no markings on nut or pinion since I have only done this a dozen times...  whirled it on tight enough, spins free with no play...
I tried consulting the official Land Rover Field Manual for Africa incase there was some reference to some obscure unit of measure....  no luck...



It wouldn't be a project unless I was waiting on more parts....
Dash and electrical not even addressed this weekend....

spins free sounds a little loose. there should be a sneeze of drag.

you can add shims to the crush sleeve once or twice to reuse them.

ya, and it can be done by pulling the yoke, pinion seal, and outer pinion bearing only. 

really though, to get a good feel for pinion preload, the carrier should be pulled also.

Finally some traction on this:

-Rear end all buttoned up, minus oil and a bleed
-LHD shifter pulled, RHD rebuilt using all NOS parts and a freshly powder coated original cane..
-Buttoned up floor and installing acoustic matting tonight after it warms up a bit.
-dash still apart.. crappy aftermarket part broke.. new ignition switch ordered via Land Rover Dealer..

Got to get this thing out of garage already. Killing my mojo for CJ6..

Dash all buttoned up...

 -Starter circuit wired to bypass the original solenoid, perfect...
new OE Land Rover switch installed and so far functioning...
 -New ATC blade fuse used for blower motor switch and a few others located behind dash panel.
 -New metal cowl installed in lieu of 70's era plastic.. unbelievable fit and function.. first time I wasn't scared reattaching the dash. (Rivnuts in a thin plastic shell)
 -acoustic mat reinstalled after bumping garage temp up top 65 deg.. Cold rubber just doesn't like to move.
 -some final dotting I's and crossing T's tonight before maiden voyage in the white stuff...

 Truck starts perfectly.. still need to fill rear end and have appointment tomorrow with a customer for full brake system bleed. Swapping over to DOT5 and need to flush the MC and front calipers.

Well the truck saw salt for the first time this week...
I figured by the time Im ready to hand this down, boys will be old enough to assist in the rebuild/refurb :)
proper bleed on the brake system and this thing stops on a dime! 
No more pulling to one side on heavy braking.. (I suspected an internal wheel cyl leak)
DOT5 now in Clutch and Brakes, its like the hydraulics took some viagra.
Putting this thing to bed this weekend.

woke up too early this morning...
5:00am Coffee
5:30-6:30am Valves adjusted and rocker cover resealed...

To do:

- Fasten heat shield
- adjust timing and Carb
- Rear tire carrier fix (details on the break and fix to follow.. thanks Smike)
- New hood bushings
- assuming new engine harness arrives, (USPS) Delco SI alternator conversion.

Koning Winch and Alcan springs will have to wait for part arrival and more time!
