Hi all,

I am in the process of reassembly of my rear hubs on my 1952 2 ton.I was cleaning everything up and noticed the bearing rollers are of an oval shape. Is this correct? It is a Timkin 2 speed rear. The bearings are "Hyatt" brand. Also I am going to replace the gear lube . There is a plug at the front of the 2 speed unit just behind the yoke. If I remove it and refill from this point will the lube flow through and fill the "pumpkin" to the correct level?One more question to you brake experts. When I install the new brake shoes how do you get the correct adjustment. I was told to adjust them until tight against the drums and then back off on turn on the adjusters.Is this correct?

Thanks,
JMH
