Introducing FOO, FZJ80 with Portal Volvo c303 topless

[offroadjouni]

And some spare parts from https://www.tatanka.nu/ if needed.

Work has been very busy, so only finding a few hours to work on the project; however, it is progressing.

working on welding in the brackets and the armor.

The stock mounts needed to be about 1/2 from the inside flange, so no way to get the bolts out to pull the portal apart, so moved them about 1" away and mounted them there. Then I cut off the spring perch and raised it 3/8 inch and will weld it back in the correct spot. This should give enough area to unbolt; however, these bolts don't have enough room to come out.... CLOSE.

Can stud bold be used?

Can stud bold be used?

Very good point. Yes, that is the option if they ever get messed up.

On a side note, I am amazed that the bolts on this axle are not metric bolts. All standard thread bolts/nuts.

AFAIK, the axles are made by Salisbury/Dana, so that's why it has imperial bolts and nuts.

This may sound silly, but trying to understand what I need to rebuild these axles.

I know I need the large oil seal and adapter ring, pictured. I assume there are four of these???

I need the boot. are there four of these also?


Here is what I have bought already, 4 different bearings and only two seals (only two each.??)


Drive gear (upper/small gear) _ I have four of each of these…..

SKF/FAG 6210 (single row radial ball, open) - dims: 50x90x20
INA BK4520 (drawn cup closed needle bearing) - dims: 45x52x20

Driven gear (lower/large gear)

Timken JLM104948 (tapered roller/cone) same as LC
Timken JLM104910 (tapered race/cup) same as LC
Timken JLM508748 (tapered roller/cone)
Timken JLM508710 (tapered race/cup)

Seals, - I only have 2 of each of these…. Do I need four????

CR 23451 (STEFA, BB - dims:60x85x8), upper portal/axle tube oil seal
