Current Status: I am in the process of refurbishing the front axle assemblies and the rear axle break drums. After using a rear axle hub puller for the first time, I have everything broken down and am in process of cleaning and prepping for sandblasting.

I am hoping to sandblast the parts in the next week or so and then start painting and reassembly.

There are a number of gaskets and seals that need to be replaced. Anyone that has a good reference for these items on the axles that would be awesome. I've been mainly sourcing parts from Kanter Auto, but have had a hard time ID'ing the part I need to what is listed in their catalog. I can also post each part in question that I need to replace for feedback, but am not sure if that is the best method.
