Today's mission involved checking the brakes and wheel bearings. Front drums came of easily and the grease in the hubs was a chocolate syrup consistency. Right side appeared normal, but the left was overflowing with grease. Shoes are riveted and read at 3/32. Wheel cyls are dry outside and under covers but lots of crusty stuff inside covers. Lubricated hand brake cables and got front and left rear free, right rear is sticking but I should be able to free it once I get the rear drums off. I have the puller but no wrench that fits rear drum nut. What size is that nut? 1 3/8? So that's where this week ends.
