Re: Packing rear axle bearings on a 39

Received the seals and brake kit last night, out in the garage this AM. Pulled one axle, cleaned it thoroughly, packed the bearing and replaced the seals.

Getting rteady to verify axle end play and got sidetracked. Looked at the new brake shoes and it appears, at least in this kit, that there is no difference between the front & rear brake shoes? I would have thought the fronts were larger, comments anyone? a call into Kanter now

And, my memory is getting short. Pulled the right side apart about 2 weeks ago, being certain I kept track of the shims. Took photos of the assembly but I forgot the order.

From the axle tube flange, the shims, a gasket, the backing plate,a gasket, the outside seal & plate, the oil shield plate?

Worse comes to worse, I can pull the other side apart, but would prefer getting one side done at a time
