and bobss396 where do you get that grease at can you but it at like napa,o'rileys,advanced auto?

 

i gotta go pick my brothers up from work bobss396 can you give me a private message on where you can buy that grease and have fun with that dasboot3 once its out its pretty straight forward (im 17 shouldnt be too hard for yea:])

 

Any parts store should have the grease.

Bob

 

thanks

 

Yup, you have to pry out the oil seal. Like I said above, they come out with a brake s**** easily. Or use the lazy man's method, also described above. When you work in a shop doing these all day, any short cut saves time.

Put the drum back on. Thread the spindle nut back on at least 1/2 way. Grab the drum and pull it hard towards you. This pops the seal off and the bearing and seal stay on the spindle.

Nope.
A flat head screwdriver or anything like that will work fine You'll really wreck the seal pullin it out so just figure on a new one. Theyre $3?? Fun aint it??
Get new cotter pins too. Another 50 cents is alot of piece-o-mind.
Just do one side at a time so you still "example A"
If you end up changing bearings make sure you do the races too.
Maybe the pictures show the bearing in the race as a unit. Its two piece.
Go slow, have fun, ask alot of stupid questions.
Its all easy and hasnt changed much in a long time.

 

I think I'd want to replace the seals on a 58 year old truck, or any time bearings are removed. Bearings come with the races and if you know the tricks, they come out easy, going in is another story. I have an old set of races with the outer diameters ground down and I use those to drive the new ones in.

If it has not been stated, make sure to period correct grease.

Wadayamean???
And how do I get the oil seal back in?
Hammer and wood block?
Or just smack it back in?

 

I think "period corect grease" was meant to be funny. There are seal drivers, but I just tap them in gently with a hammer. The wood block will work.

Thanks bobss396!
Rickybop has been givin' me pointers on the side and with you guys helpin out I think I've got yhis thing figured out.
Really quite simple when ya know what to do.
Like everything in life!!!!!
I thought the seal was actually part of the hub itself.
Thank you all again!

 

You'll never learn if you don't make a mistake here and there.
