thank you! just to be sure, would be nice to know the other pin/color combos if you have a moment. :cheers:

here's the switch diagram i found for a '72:

interesting... i'll have to give this a second look this weekend in the garage. thanks for that.

does it by chance show pin locations on connector? as mentioned, my problem is i don't have DG/YL, i have red, blue, green, black, and brown. if you have connector diagram then maybe i could match it that way. thanks.

hmmm... haven't been here in a long time; looks like you can't post attachments anymore? well, the wiper motor i pulled from the '99 has 5 wires: red, black, blue, brown, green. FSM shows: DG/YL, BR/VT, BR/WT, DB, and ground. haynes manual shows: WHT, BLU, BLK, RED, and ground. the problem...

hey folks, i'm trying to retrofit a front wiper motor from a '99 XJ for use in a '52 ford truck (using a '72 ford truck wiper switch)... pulled a motor from the junkyard, but for some reason the wiper motor wiring diagram in my 00/01 XJ FSM doesn't actually match the motor (?). oddly, the...

well the new race is on the shaft w/ the new bearing... are you saying to somehow pull the race and insert it separately in the housing first, then insert the shaft w/ the bearing?

got the new bearing/seal pressed on the shaft and the old race out finally --- took 4 stores to find a tool to pull that race (and the concept seemed a bit foreign to some of them?). anything special i need to know for the re-install tomorrow? supposedly the bearing is pre-lubed. i assume just...

so if i understand, i need the following: bearing race, bearing retainer, tapered bearing, and outer seal. looking at NAPA online, the wheel bearings appear to be flat style; but the pics for the diff/axle bearings look right (tapered), but those aren't the ones i need, right? diff wheel...

thanks, all, for the replies... it is starting to make some sense. i was looking at an exploded diagram of a 44 from the dana site which illustrated an inner seal, but on closer inspection that part number is listed under "variable parts", so presumably not utilized in this configuration for an...

2 issues at hand: 1) last summer i did my first brake job on the D44 rear, but the shop wouldn't turn the drums, so i bought new ones along w/ the shoes, etc. however, once the drums were torqued, they would not turn -- they were machined slightly too shallow and were making contact w/ the...

either a single passenger side in silver, or both front flares in black. lemme know, thanks.

so JJ is in to MINIs these days, eh? thanks. thanks for that... yep, it's been a while... i think last time i was 'round these parts BIG OFFROAD was in johnjohn's sig. :looney:

Anyone got current contact info for Grant Barclay? A friend of mine is looking to "upgrade" his '03 MINI Cooper S, and if I recall, didn't Grant build/race those things back in the day? Thanks in advance.

excellent– you da man; thanks! my 8-week-old son will thank you, too. (didn't tell my wife about this latest find). ;)
