excellent Advise, thanks to all. I watched a U-Tube video on R and R
the rear brake drum. It was mis-titled the Jack-[censored]es. Video starts
and the drum is already off. "Rear Wheel Cylinder Removal on a 3/4
Ton" would have been more appropriate. I'll order a manual from NAPA.
I have to call an old work chum that came to mind after talking to
my bro last night. Brian has a 71 Chev 4x4 and he does all his own
transmission/diff work. I kinda like to have someone show me the
ropes like him, that can save me all kinds of time, money and grief !
Plus he's a real good guy, short skinny "Hick" that used to swing
from them big printing presses like a monkey, but Hyper. Man I remember
his short fuse, must be the red haired Irish in em. He couldn't tolerate
"stupid people" very long at all, but ignorance is different. You guy's like
jokes. Albert Einstein was once asked what his opinion on the
difference between stupidity and genius. His reply, " Genius
has limitations" I'll order me a book, get Brian to pop over and
thanks for all the advise. I can see almost what is going on inside there
now, thanks for listening....sorry for the long winded reply, I can
type near fast as I can talk.
i was able to get a axle socket at parts store 4 or 5 years ago. just in case you want to tighten it to specs.

I'll try and find one of them too, thanks!!
