Well, after I got the brakes opened up it was all full of oil in the drum. So it looks like I have to replace the seals. How can I tell if the bearing needs replacement? I have been reading the archives and just hoping to go with a sure seal.

BTW the pads are not worn but full of oil. Can they be cleaned up or better to just replace them??

From previous posts I have read, you can burn the oil out of your brake shoes with torch. I tried it on a friends 600 w/out much luck. Maybe I did not burn it long enough..... ...E. Ray

E Ray,
Not a matter of "burning" the oil. Use the heat in between the spraying and wiping to draw the oil up out of the shoe. CAUTION: Brake cleaner is flammable.

A lot of times the reason a seal goes bad is because the bearings get loose/bad.

RedTail..... ....the primary reason (besides leaky axle seal) that yer 2N's 17" brakeshoes are greezy is OVERFILL of the hydro-tranny. We recommend as a double-check, remove the bottom bolt of your 6" dipstick plate and allow all EXCESS hydro-tranny oil to drain out overnite. That results in a hydro-tranny oillevel that minimizes leaks out the rearaxle trumpet mouth (even iff'n you already have bad seals) 'Course the right thing to do is to replace yer 2N's axleseals with "Sure-Seals". (and keep the hydro-tranny oillevel set right..... .Dell

Thanks Dell, the oil level was below the dipstick, the previous owner didnt take too good care of it.

Can I clean up those brakes after I fix the leak?

Redtail,
Yes, you can clean the brake shoes. Takes some time and effort. Spray with brake cleaner, wipe off, spray, wipe, spray, wipe,spraywipespraywipespraywipe. . . . . . .

Yes Dell over full can be the problem also but in my years of working on things car, trucks, and tractors bearing can are are to most common problem with bad seals.
