    I find that hubs with spokes are much easier to get off with the rime and tyre still mounted however its to late for that So either your brakes are catching on the lip on the drum or its just catching on the seal When it stops sliding off can you still rotate the hub ? If you can the brakes aren't catching and its stuck on the seal in which case brute force is your friend Maybe a ratchet strap or two to apply some constant force and pop the seal out of the hub Paul

    Dunno about over there in Yanky land, but most brands seem to give a pretty good run in Australia The Australian Granite is a bit different than the American one but I'm guessing the drive line is similar and it is pretty well tried and tested in Australia and I dont hear many if any negitive reports Paul

    Give it a try I guess, I have no idea Paul

    Well Im calling bullshit to the covered exhaust or covered intake For that turbo to spin it needs air flow, for that to happen you need both intake and exhaust valves to be open on at least one cylinder at the same time or missing parts in the motor I have heard the myth and like some many things people have a mate of a mate that swears by it but never actually had it happen So to me it definitely has no common sense theory behind it Oh and thats not a good look for a Mack modern or old Paul

    I have never driven anything with that stuff on it, people that I know that have it fitted tell me it takes some getting used to but once they are used to it they dont notice any difference , what ever that means ?? Paul

    This style of rotating might be the go with a hand full or two of nuts and bolts and a few litres of diesel to loosen everything up The very worst thatwould happen is the tank ends up with lots of tiny holes in which case it was stuffed anyway Or maybe one of those fuel tank lining kits were it coats the inside of the tank to make it like a brand new tank, I have heard of some really good results with thos style of kits Paul

    Try a hydraulic place or even a injector shop Paul

  22. mrsmackpaul

  23. mrsmackpaul
    Sounds like the fuel tank has something floating about in it If it was mine I would pull the tank and have a really good look inside it Great to see it out and about Paul

    I have never known a 44 Mack axle to break, even in roadtrain work I have never heard of it happening, extremely heavy haulage type of work I have heard of it happening but never seen it Learning something new everyday Paul
