1979 Jeep CJ5 Restoration: Episode 19 - Dana 30 Completion

In this episode I complete the reassembly of the Dana 30. Watch also for a couple tips related to removing and installing the caliper piston. Sorry for the long form but there was a lot of content to capture. Thanks for Watching!!

Thanks for your videos. I'm subscribed and enjoy watching. I do have two requests/suggestions. I find when you have the camera on the tripod you could zoom much closer to the parts you are working on. Second request is maybe to include part numbers and also tool sources when you use something special. For instance the angled press part you found to install the ball joints. Thanks again, JS

Thanks JS, I value your input and will try to include those suggestions moving forward.

Hey there was hoping to see the install of the sway bar and the new hardware. I am struggling finding the bolts for the brackets. Where did you get those? Thanks

[@coopoutdoors6117]

Good Morning Kevin, are you asking about the bolts that hold the sway bar to the frame?

[@kevinlummus4733]

Yes, sorry I should have been more clear. I bought a bolt kit from throttle down customs but it did not have everything it needed. Interested in knowing both the frame bolt, and the other bolts to connect to the sway bar and bushings. Thanks

[@coopoutdoors6117]

Cool, I'll check on those this afternoon. More to come....

[@coopoutdoors6117]

Hey Kevin, all the mounting hardware is 7/16x14 i was able to source grade 8 from Lowes. The bolts into the frame are 1 1/4 inch long. The through bolt is 2-1/2 inch long. The bolts through the swaybar clamp is 1-1/4 with washer and nut. The connecting link pin from your swaybar to connecting link can be sourced from Summit
