Bob, Have you reviewed the Army's procurement contracts which include spares on most of them. The Army would have needed parts on their supply shelves at least the same day the jeeps arrived. |

Using a hammer on alternating sides of the bearing shell can and often does result in uneccessary wear on the opening. Much better to drive the bearing race squarely with a round adapter or even a pie ... |

The gasket was not normally available by itself. But it did come with the tranny seal kit. Ron F's kit stocks that gasket still. Oddly enough the TM 9-1804B parts illustration is incorrectly labeled. ... |
