Got one side of the rears pulled apart. Boy, those were mucky. Lots of grease, rust and crud. Also, no way the axel nut was on to torque specs as that came off easier that the lugs nut did. But there was a cotter pin!
The rears also appeared to be painted an odd tan colors (inside and out) and painted over in black paint that melted away with the brake cleaner.
Pulled the rear backing plate off to get at the axle. Was expected a tappered axle bearing like on my 54. Not a sealed roller bearing. It still feels good, so I guess I'll roll with it. But inner axle seal as toast. So I'll have to replace those.
