Alright, so what is the "correct" way to install s-cam seals? Given square cut o-ring (Quad ring) and a traditional cup seal I'm putting the cup seal on the hub side with the o-ring on the inboard side (Towards the slack adjuster) so that it will purge the grease where you can see it. According to Danny the cup seal goes on the inboard side but reversed so that it will still purge grease correctly. Seems like it would work either way just fine to me? Every reference I've found has 2 cup seals with both installed towards the inboard but none reference the o-ring?
Also did some welding on a Ford L8000 12 yd dump truck. The box frame was breaking near the hinges so I air-arced out the cracks and welded front and back with 6011 and fabricated some stiffeners so that it will not break again. Had to weld up some cracks in the box floor too and learned how to weld on light gauge steel with 1/8" welding rod. With amperage around set around 50 you can feed a filler rod (With the flux scraped off) while you're welding (Similar to TIG welding).
Week: 50 hours
Quarter: 50
Seals: At the hub, place the seals so that they purge away from the hub. If you have a remote bracket with "O" ring and a quad...don't know that I've seen that particular setup, but the quad is a better seal than the "O" ring (usually) so I'd put the "O" ring next to the slack adjuster with a couple of washers.
ReplyDeleteWelding: If you get a chance try "2 sticking". Put a good rod in the stinger and a good rod in the ground; then strike both on good metal at the same time. It's not much good for anything, but can be done. (;
