Then I had fun getting the axle removed from the brake backing plate assembly. Turn out I need some very special tooling to do it, so it is at a driveline shop, apparently the only one in the area capable of separating them. Tomorrow it will have a new bearing and 2 new seals. Honestly, the seals look pretty good. My guess is that the sloppy bearing just put too much pressure on the seals and opened up a gap for the gear lube to leak out. That whole inside was covered with gear lube!

I've seen those holes get stripped many times. then you end up using penetrating oil and rapping on the drum with a hammer, between the studs, slowly working the drum loose. of course, the self adjusters need to be backed off as much as possible. > Turn out I need some very special > tooling to do it, so it is at a driveline shop, apparently the only one in > the area capable of separating them. no real special tooling needed. just a hydraulic press, a bearing separator plate, and steel plates to support the separator plate. just need to cut off the lock ring 1st, then press off the bearing without damaging the backing plate. I'd think most decent shops could have done it. |
