Strange 91/2 inch top loader info.

I need to service my 9 1/2 inch Strange top loader but this is the first top loader I've owned. Is there a manual available? How do you remove the hubs? Are they pressed on? Is there a threaded axle retainer on both sides or just one? How much oil do I put in? Any help would be greatly apreciated! Thanks.

 

You can get a copy of the service manual from Strange - it's really an exploded view parts book with some assembly info. The tool kit they sell makes it easier to work on....I bought a used tool kit after the first time we had one apart. You can change gears without the tool kit....just takes a little longer....call me at 515-987-4900 (home) if you have questions....I should be able to talk you through it....I was just where you are with the toploader a few years ago...they are super strong...just a little hard to service....Scott Gaulter

 

HEY GUYS DON'T FORGET THE SET SCREWS...When you take off the cover there is a hole on each side down in that hole is an allen set screw that MUST be taken out first.. also does this have the carbon rotors and pads??Dave

No, It has the steel rotors.

 

ok...and why you ask???...if you have the carbon stuff when you push the car you will hear a poping sound...well I did know what that noise was sooo I tore down my top loader to find nothing wrong so I call strange and told them I had a problem and told them what is was doing and they said I had the problem....It's apart now you have to put it all back together nothing was wrong....it's very simple to do but it is time consuming..Dave
