This is an update to a post I had on Friday. After trying everything suggested I ended up having to drill all but one of those screws out of the brake drums. When I got the drums off I found out what a mess I had. The wheel cylinders where falling apart. The drums where egg shaped. And like someone said Friday I found that one of the axle seals had been leaking a lot. I have never pulled an axle out before so that was a real treat. Took me about two hours to figure with all the dirt and rust that there where little cone shaped doo dads around the bolts holding the axel in. Forgot to mention the steal brake lines came apart in my hands. If all of my parts come in today I should be putting things back together tonight. One question I have is this. There is two large 2 3/8 nuts with a locking washer between them. Took all I had to get that outer on off. What is the correct thing to do as far as adjusting how tight that inner nut should be against the bearing. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I have done lots of front wheel bearings but this is quite a bit a different critter. Thank you all so much for all the help on Friday. I tagged on some pics if they work to show the progress and the mess I have been in.
