Gentlemen, Thank you both for the quick and thorough reply. It's good to have confirmation that the primary shoe is forward. Thanks too for the tips on wheel bearings. I had no trouble accessing the the front inner and outer wheel bearings but my puzzle is the rear wheel bearings. My understanding is they are to be greased every 30,000 miles. With the rear brake drums off and shoes removed it easy to see the bearings but does one have to do some axle disassembly to access them to repack with grease? Or is there some way to force grease into the rear bearings without disassembly?
Thanks,
Steve
