New wheel cylinders installed and bled.....new rear brake shoes...... new 33" BFG AT's......not bad for a Sunday afternoon.....front is next !!!

 

Here's to another productive Sunday! Wish the @#$%^&* weather would make up its mind around here so I can plan for my next project.

 

The weather here has been about the same.....If the sun is shining the wind is blowing and it's just cold enough to be uncomfortable........Starting on the front in a few minutes......hope I don't need ball joints....

 

Ok......I have 2 different front hubs.....both appear the same outside.......but inside they are two different styles......left side is late 70's /80's GM style.....I assume the
right side is correct for the Bronco ?.......also not used to hub nut/lock style.....used to 2 nuts with the lock ring in between.....this thing just sort of clicks.....are these ok ??

 

Both my '89 F-150 and my '90 Bronco had the ratcheting style locknut. I never had a problem with them backing off.

 

if you have dogs around prepared for a momentary shock when you see a puddle next to a wheel and think it is a leak.

both of my fords I had to do axle seals, both left side...hmmmm ?

then on my "boat ramp truck" ie old chevy 3/4 ton I had leaky wheel cylinder on one side then a couple months later the other one gave out and had to do it. big *** drum you have to remove after the axle is removed....

then one of my 9 inches had a pinion leak, had to fix that.

kinda pissed me off because I had always heard how great the 9" was and when I had chevy novas the 30 year old 8 1/2s would NEVER leak. I had never heard of such a thing. oh well. sorry, rambling.
