Author Moses Ludel and his Jeep.

If working on your Jeep vehicle engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, steering system, electrical system or body tub has seemed just beyond your skill level, here is the fix! Moses Ludel, Jeep vehicle expert, automotive instructor and author of the Jeep® Owner's Bible?, demystifies the most complex service procedures.

Fig. 5-127 While feeler gauge readings were between the outer edge of bearing cups and the axle housing (with no shims in place), shims install inboard of bearings. Shims provide the correct bearing preloads and gear backlash. Oil bearing cups, and tilt the cups slightly to start installation of the carrier. Tap evenly.

At his Camp Jeep® workshops, Moses discovered that hobbyists and professional Jeep vehicle mechanics alike want heavily illustrated, step-by-step ?how-to' manuals. For the Jeep vehicle owner who finds the typical workshop manual impossible to decipher, Moses Ludel breaks ground with this book. The author and photographer/illustrator of more than 2,500 magazine tech articles and five popular Owner's Bible? books, Moses undertook the Jeep® CJ Rebuilder's Manual to meet the needs of Jeep vehicle owners and restorers. Using a pictorial, step-by-step format, this ambitious effort launches a series of ?how-to' rebuild manuals with a photograph marking each technical step.

Moses begins with the disassembly of an AMC-era CJ, photographing each step in the process. He then disassembles and rebuilds each powertrain, geartrain and axle component of the vehicle?again under the close-up scrutiny of his camera! Recognizing the performance expectations of contemporary owners, Moses Ludel then shifts to the popular upgrades that distinguish the ultimate trail-running CJ models. Each step is thoroughly explained, and even the most complex mechanical procedures can be readily understood.
