Wrenchfest - Memorial Day 5/28/18 @ Kurt's

[Modeler]

A huge thank you to Pirahnah3, BlackNBlue-ish, and Kurt for a great day.

Jim and I worked on the steering shaft & MORE bracket and the pump assembly (could not find any leak anymore). Kurt took on the oil & filter change, rear pinion seal (he found that the yoke portion that rides inside the seal was extremely worn, part on order already) and the e-brake adjustments. -Ish did the sparkplugs on mine and an oil change as well as vehicular inspection on his.

The only casualty on the day was the crankcase vent that plugs into the front top of the valve cover when we tried to pull it from the old leaking grommet to replace the grommet. Ish ran to the autoparts store to pick one up for about 6 bucks and then picked up pizza.

With the stronger shaft and better angle from the firewall to the steering box the Jeep drove great and everything was even tighter than when we initially installed the PSC box and modified the original lower shaft to fit to the box.

Thank you again guys.

Glad to have helped, hopefully you can pinpoint that PS leak, it def looked like it was somewhere but as to where.....the jeep has yet to tell you. See you at the next one!

Sounds like a successful wrenchfest, nice to have a hand with those things.
