Rear end pretty much done. Replaced inner and outer axle seals and pinion seal. Inner seal seals off the gear oil from reaching the rear wheel/axle bearing. Outer seal contains the wheel bearing grease to that area and off the brakes. Looked to be the original leather seals that were dried out and shrunken. Replaced with modern rubber lip seals. Same deal on the front wheel bearings. Replace one outer and one inner bearing and new seals. Interesting the rear gear ratio is 7:71 to 1. I guess that’s why there’s a warning on the dash that top speed not to exceed 35MPH.
