Good ideas on the sockets and pipe fittings. I did look through my colection of sockets and pipe fittings, but didn't find anything that fit so well, that's why I got the wooden piece. The seals went in easily on sunday. Also installed a new lamp in my sandblast booth since the last one broke, then sandblasted the rear drums and backing plates and a bunch of small parts and fasteners. I got a 1-7/16 socket to fit the nut on the pinion seal, so I can change that sometime soon. It was made in 'west germany' so it's gotta be at least 20 years old
Will have the new bearings pressed on the axles this week, and can then see what kind of free play I have or if I need some additional shims.
