Hello Paul,

No problem at all, I completely understand, and thank you for the additional measurements...The seal pusher is quite a long and heavy contraption, though it does not look from the photo... I think I will go to an antique shop to find that odd long set of pliers for the next time... As I'm going through the job, I left that outer bearing in place and packed it by hand without a problem despite the limited space...

Regarding the bearings details, the outer is a Hyatt 11786 (Tapered Roller) The inner a barrel style bearing but I do not know the number... Do you by chance?

Lastly, as for the adjustment, after I slide the hub/drum, I rotate it several times back and fort to seat the bearing, then I play with the wheel cylinder adjuster ( get it to to barely touch) as I keep turning. Lastly, I place the spacer and nut, always turning the drum until the bearing gets tight, and then I back it off one notch or one bolt position with the aid of a red line on the tool...
Would that be correct?
