"Original"-- Technical Questions, Answers, Observations / 6v or 12v?

« on: June 24, 2011, 11:10:35 AM »

Hello,

I am in the process of working on my 52 CJ3A electrical system and was hoping to get some feedback on sticking with the 6v system vs. converting to a 12v electronic system.  I want to keep the overall jeep as stock as I can in appearance but not too worried about converting something like the electrical system.  I am more interested in reliability... if that makes any sense.

I am told that going to 12v I will need to change the battery, light bulbs and fuel gauge.

Hello, I've removed the yoke and I am now trying to remove the pinion. It doesn't seem to want to budge. Would appreciate any ideas on the best way to remove the pinion. It appears to be in good shape so I'd like to get it out without damaging it.....

Any advice on remove these nuts?  Not finding any tools to keep the yoke from spinning while busting the nut loose.

Appreciate any input on staying with stock 10 spline rear axels vs converting to a full floating.

And guidance on removing the rear axle shafts would be much appreciated. I believe it's a Dana 44 rear end
