I have my gearmatic 119 out of the TJ 240E and Im thinking about changing all the bearings while i am working on the clutch and brake.
I need to get the end play and backlash specs for the ring and pinion so if i have to shim the pinion i will set it up right. does anyone have these specs?
I also have beel looking for a bearing and seal kit for this winch. does anyone have a source where i can get a kit or do i have to get the bearings and seals individually( is it cheaper to do it that way. Read More
