Hello Kent,
Thank you for your reply...As for the tool, are you referring to the springs at 3 and 9 o'clock or the lower anchor spring? Would you have the original GM numbers on the locks? Thank you for the tip regarding the brake shoes, I know that the devil is in the details...
As for the rear bearings, I had no idea that they were lubricated by the differential oil. So there is no inner axle seal on these trucks then... Interesting, I thought they were set up like the old WWII jeeps...
Ummm.... As for this axle nut adjusting (tool) is there a basic parameter to start with, such as, go all the way tight until the bearing locks up and the back off 1/4 turn or so? Someone must know what the starting point is...
I have replacement seals, I was going to replace them regardless since I have to repack the bearings with grease, but if not I save myself $$$ by not replacing them...Lets hope that the spindles are in good shape and free of rust...
