    Nice video! What did you use to seal the wheel bearings if the other seal was in the wrong place?

    • @MNMoparMinivan
      @MNMoparMinivan  3 місяці тому +2

      @Compact-Disc_700mb so the seal on the bearing hub was fine. I accidentally left the metal dust cover that goes on the axle side with the seal... when you get axles the dust cover is already on them. So I had doubled up the dust covers

      @@MNMoparMinivan lol still on the trailer. Just family health stuff atm and days off have been traveling. Trying to plan how to tackle the engine to see if it is worth doing anything to. Pulley is off the cam, and all the accessories are undone and laying to the side. Crank pulley is still on and the timing belt is on that still. Thinking pull valve cover off first and look. Possibly get a cheap scope and pull plugs. Not sure what all I wanna do to it atm. Would love to just be able to drive it as is for the time being.

      @michaeljackson8510 it's called a strut rod bushing. Rock Auto has the kit for like $10 includes both sides. Getting the old one out sucks because it's a 1 piece bushing where the new ones are 2 piece.
