Got to work on the driver's rear axle tonight, now that the passenger axle is back in.
The backing plate, shoes, and everything within the driver's drum was covered in diff oil. It was a mess. I scraped off what I could and cleaned up the parts in the parts cleaner. Next step for them is the blasting cabinet.
The axle was easily removed with a slide hammer. The bearing grease was nasty. I'll have to completely clean it out and repack. The inner seal was removed with a couple solid whacks from the slide hammer.
My neighbor took a look at the bearing and race, and saw the race had scoring on the outside of it. Inspecting the axle housing showed scoring where the race sits also. So it looks like the race is spinning within the housing. How would I go about correcting this?
Before I ran out of time tonight I cleaned the old grease out of the front wheel bearings, then repacked with fresh grease. I then reinstalled the front drums and installed the axle nut and cotter pin according to Ross's video.
