Progress is slow. I pulled the passenger rear axle with a slide hammer. Came right out. The bearing and race look brand new. I might as well pull the bearing off and repack it though...how do I get it off the axle?

The inner seal was removed using the same slide hammer, but with a two-finger attachment. Took a couple hits and it came out.

The outer seal was removed from the carrier flange by using a punch and hammer. Came out in good shape.

I sandblasted the brake parts and backing plate for the rear passenger drum. Then cleaned and painted them. I didn't bother matching the color on the return springs....I just used what I had on hand...black and gray.

Now I'm waiting for parts. Seals are coming from Hagen, brake shoes from NAPA (crazy hard to find), new hold down springs from NAPA. I need to make new gaskets for the backing plate....do I just use thin cardboard for this? The original seals are almost paper thin.
