    Moses; The TF999 is a tank. I had it rebuilt because it was leaking. The tech said it was very good and needed only adjustments. On another note, my engine must have been swapped sometime in its life with an older 75ish 4.2L. Do you know where I can get a Rocker Shaft for a 4.2? All my research comes up empty. Mine is worn but I had to reuse it after a engine rebuild.

    Moses; 1983 Laredo 4.2, TF999 Transmission. The slide hammer was the way to get the bearing out...it was a challenge. I used your rag wrap /vise method to hold the spindle. After install and reassembly there is still some side play at the ujoint but it is comparable to the drivers side so it is normal or my stub shafts are worn, I expect it is normal...here's the story about chasing a suspension noise which got me to the bad ujoint and spindle bearing in the 1st place. I was getting a thumping noise on the passenger side on gravel roads. After checking under the dash and the passenger suspension many times (including jumping on the bumper) I found the ujoint and spindle bearing and fixed them but the noise persisted. Afterward, I found the culprit by accident when shaking the hood. The jeep is old and the hinge pins on the hood are worn...The noise was the hood shifting forward and back on loose hinge pins on bumpy roads. A cut piece of fuel line mounted on the hood edge to add a little tension when closed did the trick.

    Yes it did. Moses, thank you so much for taking the time to answer me...your book got me through the 1st time removal of the spindle to get at the stub axle to replace a bad ujoint. Gob bless my plastic dead blow hammer on getting that spindle out as well as replacing age old ujoint caps. My spindle bearing is bad as well as the ujoint I replaced. The play you mention in your answer got me to the spindle bearing. I have it pulled now and am awaiting the kit you diagram above. Caution to others...when I checked wheel bearing play on my driver's side front wheel It felt a little loose....when I got to the bearing I found the locking tab on the lock washer, for the lock nut, was not bent. Needless to say a half turn of the bearing nut stopped the play...the tab on the lock washer is bent against the lock nut....this time.

    Team, how much side to side play should be expected between the axle spline end and the spindle with the manual 4wd cover removed?
