Reverse gear spacer fatshaft torque master

[FORBESAUTO]

Ok, you l/u gurus. I'm replacing a fat shaft on a 3.0l torque master. The reverse gear spacer is damaged slightly and doesn't come off old shaft. I ordered a new spacer to find it doesn't slip over splined section either. Looks like it's correct and would fit on the lower section with the smaller I/D of shaft, just won't go over larger splined end. My question is do you heat it or something to make it larger so it'll go over splined area or am I loosing my mind and not get the right spacer?:confused: Or both?:o

To answer my own question in case others run across this. The fatshaft torque master for 3.0 liter part number for the reverse gear spacer is 23-824108-1, they sent me a 23-824108 without the 1 on the end and this is the standard small shaft spacer.

It took you long enough to answer that question: ! Tighten up. Mike

Yeah lol, I looked it up again and realized the price on the part # I looked up was about $40 higher than the one I recieved and figured something had to be wrong :eek:. It still bothers me old one still don't come off old shaft though, hope it's just out of round a little from catastrophe. We'll see next week. If it don't go over splines out comes the heat:p

Welp, got the other spacer in today and fits over the splines just fine, imagine that.

Who wuuda thunk it!

Speaking of spacers , can off-road or fx4 front ifs be converted to coil springs or coil overs from the torsion set up ? Thanks mike

I've never done one, i think Rock Krawler makes a kit, but ain't cheap and couldn't actually find one when I searched. All you would need would be a coil over strut to replace the stock shock with I would think and remove the torsion bar. I don't see why not with a little fabrication and modification. What you up to anyway, wanting to do that? Need to get that mota built and get us a good riding group together so we can break in these new ticking time bombs :eek:

Sitting in a stand with plenty of time to think !
