The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts T170 2speed rear axle fluid questions?

Well I'm not planning to pull it until I have a need to cuz at this point I'm running into needs.... as I was bleeding brakes, back ones on the "new" axle seems to bleed good and not leaking. But once I got to the driver side front, i was bleeding it and my dad pumped it up and the brake hose started leaking at the crimp piece so im gonna just replace all three of the flex brake hoses since that one gave up and the rest are just as bad so it was time. And of coarse the brake lines that connected to them were seized and nuts rounded. So had to cut the line and now need new brake lines as well lol. How did the rear axle swap turn into a full brake line/hose job haha.

But hotrod I'll definatly skip painting the drums then, I didn't think about that causing any issue like that. But I'll for sure get the built up grease/dirt off them cuz that's pretty thick and I can definatly see that being somewhat insulative.
