While going after a load of mulch, my brakes failed. After having it towed (by a wrecker) home, I decided to investigate a suspected leaking wheel cylinder.
I pulled the drum off of my right rear to work on the wheel cylinders (there's two) and found the entire brake assembly almost completely caked in grease. I think that it's safe to assume that my outer axle seal is leaking. I searched this topic in the forums to no avail, and don't have a book that covers this axle. Can someone enlighten me about what all is involved to replace this seal?
FYI: 1959 1 1/2 ton single speed rear end, with 15" drums.
Thanks
John
