Small increments until maybe 1/2 - 2/3 of the way out. Once you start removing the friction resistance, it because slightly easier. If that makes any sense.

thanks guys. i'll let you know if/when it does move at all.
got some of my stuff this weekend, but still missing some of the small stuff. like the clutch. whatever. the brown truck has 4 days to get it here.
and some pics:
my heater. couldn't have done this repair without it
all clean, awaiting shifter seats

Being cold really makes it miserable working on these trucks. Usuall I can dress warm, but once your fingers gets cold or your feet, thats about where most have to give it up. Tranny is looking better.

Sorry, Ian, was busy since I posted that..... I meant 1 and 3/16", not 13/16". As I remember, anyhow... And I would usually correct that typo. Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could just measure it across and see it's that distance for the installing of the new bearing.
Sorry bout the pilot... yep, that was a bit of a bear. You'll get it, man.

Biggest thing over looked while working in the cold, cover the cold concrete with wood or card board. The concrete will siluck the cold right out of you.
As for your fingers, cold hands are usually an indication your core is cold, you may not feel it but your brain knows.

they dun taught us that in scouts. with enough layers on, you don't really need gloves. though, if you have a heater, you don't need much more than long sleeves
gonna drop off the flywheel today for re-surfacing, and the clutch comes today. woo.
aside from the pilot bearing, this is actually going pretty smooth

Ian, still working on the pilot, eh? Congratz on the 'TODAY' update, THAT'S GOOD NEWS, EH? You'll be done in no time, drive by video to come, right? lol.
PS> Make sure you give a lil 'chirp' with the new clutch in, on the video, k? haha.

ha! yeah... "chirp". there ya go. i've never been able to chirp unless it's raining out, or i slam on the brakes
drive by will sound the same, except for a slightly larger exhaust leak (someone forgot to unbolt the downpipe ). i won't be "working" on the truck until friday (something about work and a paycheck?)

i'll check locally. thanks. that might make it a bit easier.
shifter seat (at least the t-case one) is in salt lake city. more bolts are in the mail
i'm assuming it's ok to re-use the flywheel bolts? or should i use new ones?
edit: aren't they stretch bolts? 19 ft-lb +90 degrees

Flywheel bolts? 75-80#, as I remember. Crosspattern increments of 4, something like that. That would be around 19# each pop.... Anyway, I used the crank bolt to hold against while cranking those down, worked well, and I was able to do it while on the hoist, actually, lol(Yep, those freakin stands! lol)... You're dealing with an 'in the rig' install, so should be even easier to stop that crank from turnin.
Gosh, I'm so wiped out I hope I'm not thinking of the wrong thing here, lol.
Hope it all goes smooth for ya...

from 4x4wire's write-up:
that's where i got my numbers from. and i'm having trouble finding that in either the haynes or fsm... i'll keep looking
thanks mark
edit: i just found it in the fsm: 80 ft-lb. it might work out to 19 + 90*, but i'll go with 80. >whew< glad you caught that

WOOT! lol..... Me too(on the glad portion!) Fhewwww indeed! Yep, that would have lasted around 10 miles, man.... then KABOOM, serious carnage. Meh, someone would have caught that. But yes, it's good that it was BEFORE you had it all together and back-together... DAYUM.... I would imagine you'd be ANNNNNNNNGRY, lol.
Cool, so just waitin on a couple things, eh?
PS> I KNOW you know this,...but just for added reminder.... KEEP THEM HANDS OFF DAT FLYWHEEL! lol. Clean it like a Satellite engineer would, seriously. ..... EQUALLY important not to touch the clutch disc.... And if you have, hit it with some good quick drying 'stuff' that wont leave any residue, .... AND WOW, that thing is gonna be TOIGHT, man!

mark- really just waiting on friday so i can start working on it again. i have all the clutch parts, so the only things still in the mail are the shifter seats. i know i can pop those in once the clutch is done, so not a big issue right now. if worse come to worst, the shifter will still feel the same as it did before the repair (until the parts show up)
i was gonna hit everything with brake cleaner... pressure plate, clutch, flywheel... while installing them all
and for greasing up the things that need it, i'm using mp white lithium grease

mmmm lithium grease... keeps things slippy and also helps smooth out the highs and lows... so you maintain "balance"... the best of both worlds....
good luck with the new shiny - grippy things ian... don't torque it off the hoist and on to yourself bro... lol
