So just pulled the drive shafts, transfer case and tranny, and found out not only was I missing a few bolts on the tranny but the whole pilot bearing was missing LMAO. Anyone ever have this happen with a used buy?

If it ain't broke, break it.
There is no such thing as a 1995 Bronco II.

Used, private sale buys from someone you don't know, often have hidden crap the previous owner screwed up and are looking to dump on someone else.

I also fixed the title of your thread for you.

Thanks for the title fix, I've noticed this with most of my buys. Always learning that's the important part haha

Giving my truck more money than it deserves.
Yes I have unfortunately. One of the bolts for my starter was over tightened and stripped out. I had helicoiled it and thought I was in the clear. Wrong! I ended up having to drill clear through the transmission after the helicoil failed.1231201717_HDR.jpg

Have some issues, I busted the O-ring that connects the clutch to the tranny. Any ideas on the size or where I could find a replacement. Went to ford and they said the part was obsolete. Can't find anything on LMC

If you can probably order one based on dimensions. I have a found a few non specific, but fitting o rings and bearings searching measurements

What did you break, exactly? One of the seals in the hydraulic clutch hose system? On which end?

Worst case take pieces of old o-ring down to parts store and buy several that are the closest to the remnants.

Broke the O ring for the hydraulic clutch line that leads into the transmission. Sorry for the late response I never got a notification
