I use brake cleaner on everything as it evaporates pretty quick but I’m open to options… Thanks 👊😎

Still down from an injury but will be back soon… Thanks for watching…👊

@@oldguywawrench ome lift, 245/75r16 tires, front and rear torsen limited slips, Vitara front axle housing (steel vs aluminum) 3.0 tcase gears, 45:1 crawl ratio, should be a pretty capable lil rig

You can use a press or a set of bearing puller… Avoid using a hammer for the job… Good luck…👊😎

Manual…

Thanks for watching…👍

Probably just you…😆 But thanks for watching…!

Working on the bottom half right now… Thanks for watching and stay tuned…👍

Appreciate the input… Had several name options for the channel that included “Dirt cheap zuk builds” or “Done right Zuks on the second try.” 😆 Stuck with the old guy since evolution is taking me that way… Thanks for watching…👍

I'm an Old Guy too...having fun with my Trackers. Fills the hours with nothing to do...lol@@oldguywawrench

42mm O.D. is what I used due to the break/crack that was already on the crossmember and wanting something I could drive through… In other words, the Sami had been through several owners and probably suffered major flex depending on users habits so I went with a tube that was close to snug but not exact I.D. so I could drive new tube through… I had to use a baby sledge to drive it through as illustrated on video because everything was still on frame and I knew the tube was not going to slide in smoothly… The correct way should have been complete frame removal and tear down to get it straight… This is an “on the go” fix to get my Sami by… Probably confused you more but try a piece of 42mm O.D. (Outside diameter) to check fit…

Sorry, don’t have…

Check this link out but always do your own research before buying or installing anything… Never worked on the 8 valve myself but it looks like this “might” work for your application… If in doubt check with a certified mechanic or someone in your area since I can’t see what you’re working on… Good luck 👍

There’s a 1.6 8 valve and a 1.6 16v… Which one you got…?

Let me look it up and get back to you but if you’re in a hurry check out eBay… That’s where I get most of my parts on the cheap…😎

Here's the link - www.ebay.com/itm/251506132827

Brackets on both sides is to attach tow bar for flat towing… Thanks for watching…👍

@@oldguywawrench I thought it was. Could you do a video on your flat tow setup please Ive got a samurai and gonna flat tow it

@@victormeldru that’s actually a pretty good idea but in the meantime if you ever flat tow your Sami long distance just remove your rear drive shaft from transfer case to rear axle, disconnect battery and turn your key to the on position so that your steering turns freely…

@@oldguywawrench I'm in England and there's very few samurai's left, let alone samurais that get flat towd, so I appreciate any information on it. Keep up the great work

@@victormeldru will do…👍

Good eye…!👍

If you’re running a 1.6 16v in a Sami you plug in the cable that came off your old alternator that is now on your new alternator back to it’s original connection and run a ground from your new alternator to your battery… I have not done this with the stock engine or any other engine upgrades but can’t imagine it being a whole lot different…

Thanks for stopping by…

I do but those have different gears and already spoken for… I’ll keep an eye out and let you know if I run into another one…

@@oldguywawrench Thanks

It should be 9.5 to 16.5 foot pounds per repair manual… Use the bolt pattern on video to get them on there evenly… Good luck and thanks for watching

Appreciate you watching…👍

Already factored this… Thanks for watching 👍

Thanks

Running air locker in rear… Stay tuned for that video…

Thanks… 2018 jeep wrangler and up skid plate… Did a couple of mods to make it fit rear stock Sami axle… Now I just have to finish it up and post video…

That’s the spirit…!💪

Here's a google link with many places where you can get a kit: I think I got mine from India but the experience was not good as I had to send kit back to get the correct seals several times.

@@oldguywawrench thanks guy , appreciate

Thanks for watching!

Will do… Thanks for watching 👍

I ran stock gears in my transfer case on 30’s for a while but noticed a significant difference when I swapped in the Sumo 6.4:1 in… Got more bite on my 5th gear (regular driving) and low range is great for climbing and easy on your breaks going down hill…

I’m not a distributor/don’t sell mechanical parts… You may want to contact someone who actually sells this stuff to find out the cost… Many carriers charge differently depending on location… Try eBay… Not too many parts interchange between the Sidekick/Tracker/Vitara and the Samurai but there are a few modifications for the Samurai using Sidekick/Tracker/Vitara… Please note, these are not "direct, bolt-in" type swaps and modifications may be required…

6.4:1 Marked casing 6.4 so I don’t forget what I got in there…
