I was able to get the driver side drum off tonight, so I'll be able to order the outer oil seals tomorrow. When I was attempting to pull the passenger side brake drum, one of the lug nut inserts stripped out. As it turns out, I will be getting Heli-Coils in the future. I'll need to evaluate, and see how many inserts are damaged. If it is more than one per side, I'll probably look into sourcing different rear drums.

I was surprised to see evidence of an inner oil seal on the rear end- I thought there would only be an outer.

Hoping to get some assembly done by the end of this weekend.


Ken, when I did the rear brakes, bearings, and seals on my 115C I found only an inner oil seal. The bearings were a type that was fully shielded and lubricated for life; obviously a replacement, but a good move in my opinion. There were no outer oil seals. You need inner oil seals to keep the differential lubricant from washing-out the grease in the wheel bearings. I hope this helps.
