mowerman Posted Tuesday at 03:05 AM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 03:05 AM Thanks man it was possible I would finish it this week but I saw 3 broken wheel keepers they should be here next few days 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/94/#findComment-585060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted Wednesday at 03:14 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 03:14 PM OK, I ordered five keepers believe it or not. Amazon had them. I could’ve bought them right here in town, but they wanted over twice. The price for them worked on a good part of the day yesterday just for shits and giggles. I went over the brake shoes, one more time with degreaser And clean up the axle. I’ll be out there in a little while making a gasket for it and putting in the oil seal and putting the hub and drum back on andmounting the last two tires. At least that’s the plan. It’s really windy out there today, but I’ll be inside the garage. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/94/#findComment-585117 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always used some silicone sealer on axle flange with no gasket, never had a problem. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/94/#findComment-585120 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted 4 hours ago Author Share Posted 4 hours ago Just noticed that last photo makes it look like the intersection is all rusted in actually just a light coating of rust on the outside of the nut. I didn’t feel the need to wire brush off. I filled the gully with oil and greased. The ball bearings still have to put the axle back in and paint the hub 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/94/#findComment-585222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
