Message: <blockquote data-quote="nobull1" data-source="post: 10554" data-attributes="member: 722">Good idea about welding the nut on the plug. The treads of the plug protrude about 3/16 of a inch above the assembly which means that the right size of nut might go over the plug and leave enough to weld to. Actually the right size of nut should thread onto the protruding threads to make it a tighter fit to make a better weld. When it comes out it will be replaced with a four sided male end as opposed to a female hex head. I noticed the vent line but I will say I didn't look all the way to the end to see if it might be plugged. I will do that just to be sure it isn't. The leak appears to be from the end by the pulley, but only has dried grease/oil and doesn't "appear" fresh. You are correct it shouldn't be a hard job to change,but it probably has to come out to be replaced as the way the manual says to replace it is by drilling and using a screw slide hammer. Also the pulley would have to come off first and I don't think there would be enough room to remove the pulley then drill and use a slide hammer, but it would save a lot of time if I could. I will have to have another look at that possibility.Worst case is replace the assembly, and I will let you know if I need to go that way. I don't want to do that now, as my garage doesn't have enough height to allow the cab to flip up, which means a trip to the dealer and pay them 3-4 hours(too unpredictable and cold to do that job outdoors IMO). That scenario is not the end of the world and you just have to do what you have to do.Any other ideas just keep them coming.Brian</blockquote>
