Great video, Neil! This will help a lot of folks. Your execution of the shimming process was perfect... As people can see now, there's no dark art here. The reason you want to have the CTIS seal retainers handy is because they often become brittle and crack while you're handling them. Considering the amount of time the hub R&R takes, you might as well have them handy. *Ron's tech video's are awesome too!
Thank you very much for all the excellent information on these vehicles! You are a huge asset and your presentation is super easy to follow ! Keep up the great work and thank you !!!
I noticed one thing that you didn't do that I did when I changed my CTIS seal. That was cry. Like, a lot. I also did mine in the winter like you, but I went for the extra challenge of doing it outside. Thanks for the video, the shim part was the worst and you did an awesome job explaining it all. Merry Christmas
Lol, thanks, I'm going to do all of my ctis seals and repack all the inner wheel bearings also clean and regrease brake adjusters and wedges. I have lots of footage to edit and we'll have more videos out soon. 👍
Nice video. My only response is about the 3/8 wratchets is the same on my father had. I thought it was a cut down one the the knob brazed on the end. I see it was made that way.
This was the video I was waiting on. You made something that I was dreading look super simple. This was a much needed video/how to for the FMTV community.. Thanks for the shout out... Are brakes coming up next? I am assuming you caged the rears to get the drums off??
Thank you. Yes, brake caging, drum removal, adjuster disassembly and cleaning are all on the agenda along with ctis seal replacement and wheel bearing repacking. Lots of footage to edit and videos to get out. 👍
@@NEILSWORLD I am so stoked you are doing this as those are items no one has covered in depth and just happen to be some of the last few things I need to do maintenance on.
You're welcome. I have a lot more footage to edit of repacking the inner wheel bearing and changing the ctis seals. Also disassembling and cleaning the brake parts. 👍
I'm finally going to dig into this on mine. I just searched the TM's & can't find the section on this so I also have that to reference. Do you recall where it was in there?
great/informative site for a new 1078 owner. But, my transfer case makes a horrible death sound..as if this am I pulled the TC drain plug and 3 small needle bearing were found...erring on the side of caution, I wish to replace the tranny/transfer case as a unit...thoughts?
Transmission and transfer case unit should be available, there are plenty of these trucks getting parted out. If you're not a member of a lmtv Facebook group you should join one, there are lots of parts suppliers on there.
Great question. I took my hubs apart for several reasons. 1: to repack the inner wheel bearings. 2: while it is totally apart I wanted to replace the ctis seals. 3: I wanted to check the clearance and adjust the shims. I would have used the shims that were in there but more were needed to bring it up to the proper tolerance.
Plastic rings break on install or removal from improper installation the military doesn't have an exact procedure just install them with retention ring
Yes, I wasn't real clear about that I reused my original ones they were fine I just didn't need the new ones but I do still have the front ctis seals to do so good to have them on hand. I will be clear about that on the ctis seal replacement video. 👍
day two of owning an lmtv and allready needing videos like this 🤣😂... This video was amazing thank you very much!
Let me know if you need the ctis seals or the hub seals. I have them.

Thanks for putting this video out, it was very informative. I am looking forward to the next video in this axle maintenance series.
Brakes, coming out soon.
Thanks, Neil! Great video…I’m actually using it to help with an eco-hub installation so I understand the disassembly process. 👍👍
That's great. I still haven't installed my eco-hubs. When I do I'll make a video.
@@NEILSWORLD well…I was going to do it today, sprayed Kroil on everything and then got rained out 🤦🏼♂️🤷♂️ maybe tomorrow…*sigh*
Nice video. My only response is about the 3/8 wratchets is the same on my father had. I thought it was a cut down one the the knob brazed on the end. I see it was made that way.
It's a very handy ratchet, I use it often. 👍
Please make sure you blur the labels on your packages! Its for your own good🫡

Really fascinating. Thanks for the tutorial!
You're welcome
Great video! Thanks for putting it together. 🙂

This is where the shimming is talked about.
@@NEILSWORLD Thanks as always man!!

Awesome video..Where did you get that mechanics manual binder
The technical manuals can be found online. I just print the pages that I want and put them in a three-ring binder.
If you swapped gears for more top end, whats the new cruising speed?
Extremely helpful tutorial !
Thank you
Great video, thank you for doing it! Im nowhere near an axle expert, so be gentle.. Why not reuse the original shims?

You're welcome
What is the symptom the truck was having that leads to this repair?
I wanted to check and repack the inner wheel bearings. So I put new CTIS seals and checked the spider gear clearance at the same time.
The outer wheel bearings are in an oil bath but the inner ones are greased.
@@NEILSWORLD Got it, thank you.
Good morning how do I contact you directly I need to ask you some questions about this truck thanks
What are your questions?
Maybe I missed it but what was the purpose of shimming the gears?
Yes, you missed it 🤣😆. I explain it right at 3:30 👍.
What was the thickness of the shims you took out?
This one had two .030 shins in it.

I would have removed the spider gears and put eco hubs in. that way you can go drive faster than 55mph.
Eco hubs weren't out when I made that video. They are installed in the truck now!
I have a video showing how they act going down steep grades.
