right then you feckers.....grabbed the bull by the proverbial
In the absence of a flange puller undid the 4 bolts on the brake back plate and the whole shaft slid out without any hesitation like a dick out of a virgin
Two observations :
could not get the old seal out, left behind in the tube, without destroying it
hope I have not damaged the seat.
Whereas the thread on Jeepclub speaks of sealer on brake backplate to tube and dust seal to backplate all is rotating loose covered in oily shiet. Also inbetween the the drum backplate and tube I found 3 shims, 1 fat one and 2 skinny ones. The bearing came out in one and does not look to bad. Needs a lot of cleaning up to get rid of contamination in there.
Will organize a puller because I want to clean the whole lot up.
Does the above seem ok to you. Clean up and re-install the way it came out ? What are the shims there for ?
Also what would the oil look like ? or better what should it look like. Got 20 lts of 75W90 so no probs to do a change. Do I need additive, friction modifier whatchamacallit ?
Cheers
