ARB stuck
 

87 CJ, ARB locker, rear is stuck locked. Pressure is off, I even applied a
vacuum to try to unlock it.
Anyone experienced this?


The compressor is going too, blew a 20A fuse.
I may just yank the whole system out.
Thankfully, it's not mine, I have 2 Powr-Loks in my Jeepster. Trouble free.

Re: ARB stuck
 

From what I know about ARBs, besides the plastic lines failing the most
common problem is diaphragm failure. However, I think in that case it won't
engage, rather than sticking. Only way to tell is to pull the carrier and
disassemble.

I have an ARB in the front D44 on my YJ, it's used infrequently so I'm
hoping it won;t fail any too soon. The Detroit in the rear is a handful on
the street, but superb on the trails.

"The compressor is going too" is suspicious to say the least. I suspect
that it is blowing nasty stuff into the air lines.

I just have to wait until the owner can be without wheels for a few (days,
weeks?) while I pull it down and get parts. Last year I soldered the copper
tube in his front diff to the cap.
Thanks guys.
