The only issue I am having now which is common is I cannot get all the air out of the lines. We've tried a vacuum sys...

FRONT BRAKES, WHEEL CYLINDERS AND OTHER STUFF
Work on the front axle is just about done. So far the portal bearings, CVs, CV boots and brake lines have all been replaced.

Re: Axles Portal bearing cross reference
Thank you for the clarification. I was able to find and order all of the bearings. My Guy here in Prescott worked his magic and rebuilt both front portals. The bearings all fit perfectly. THANK YOU AGAIN!

IS TATANKA STILL OPEN?
I have emailed Tatanka several times now. No replies at all. Has anyone had contact with them lately. I have a rather large order I need to place. Thanks for any help.
In the mean time does anyone else have a Volvo Parts source for our rigs? Thanks
Mike

Re: Axles Portal bearing cross reference
