I would like to remove the horn button (and possibly the steering wheel) on my 1928 series 526, The shop manual and owner's manual are quite cryptic. Can someone provide me some guidance?
Thanks, Phil

Jim,
I was working on my 526 model today, so I took some pictures. These may help. Phil Attach file:  Cutout 1.pdf Size: 27.36 KB; Hits: 62 Cutout 2.pdf Size: 23.77 KB; Hits: 39 Cutout 3.pdf Size: 28.69 KB; Hits: 28 Cutout 4.pdf Size: 25.77 KB; Hits: 48

Steve,
I just recently repacked the water pump gland on my Series 526. i found the attached procedure (this one from Jasper Engineering, but lots of similar instructions on the web) very useful. Phil

My 1928 526 coupe is missing its wiper arm and blade. Is there a source for replacement? Can someone provide a picture?
Thanks, Phil

No. Given the conditions, I chose not to molest. Wrong decision? If so, why? Or, why not? :)
Thanks, Phil

I thank you all for your help. I finally got a chance to address the wheel bearing issue. I’m pleased to say that the bearings appear to be in fine shape, with no noticeable wear or abrasion. The grease looks fine, also, with no evidence of having seen heat.
When I reassembled everything, the noise went away. I think the noise was simply a result of the retaining nut being too loose, allowing the wheel to wobble more than it should. Now, a nice smooth operation, with no wobble, and no noise. Thanks again, Phil

The left front wheel on my 1928 Model 526 Packard has become slightly loose and makes some unseemly noises when spun. I’m thinking I need to replace the wheel bearings. Can anyone recommend a good source?
Thanks, Phil

Excellent question. I don't know when it was available.
Now that I have thought about it, I'd say leatherette was a '40s thing. Leather or cloth would be the available choices. So, for the rumbleseat, leather is required? And, inside, leather or cloth?
