Tonight I pulled the front drums off. Shoes look OK, king pins are shot. Removed the hubs - quick look at the bearings: I think they are OK, will clean them and check for wear. Got the backing plates off so replacing the king pins will be the next part of this project. I suspected they were bad last year and ordered the kit last summer. Now is the time to replace them - lots of room to work with the front clip off.
