First of all, it looks like my hydrovac rebuild worked. However, it looks like both rear brakes have leaking wheel clyinders. I'm hoping that since the brakes apear to be a standard type, I can get off the shelf rebuild kits and shoes from a local brake rebuilder. However, I need the tool to remove the nice bearing nut they use. 6 prongs, on what looks like about a 2 1/2" center. Anyone know where I can get one, or better yet, anyone got one I can borrow?
Thanks ~ John

They are also available online from auto tool suppliers. Or you can use the old stand by small punch and hammer.Pay attention to the rear bearing preload, something in the neighborhood of 30-50 lb ft on most models. | | |
