Now What

I pulled the drums off today to inspect my brake and one side was covered in grease! It was all over the brake shoes and just about every where Else. I am thinking bearing seal but I have no clue on fixing this. Any diagrams and directions would be helpful.

Thanks
Chris

Once you undo the 8 bolts on the end of your axle, and slide that out of the tube(Gear oil may spill), you will find a giant locknut in there.
Get that off, and it is a fairly normal wheel bearing inside.
inspect both the seal, and the spindle it rides on to find cause of leak.

There is a special socket to buy, but you can work around that.

Piece of pipe and four bolts. Weld the bolts to the pipe and grind them square . We made one when my seal went out. The one parts stores have are to big or to small. It still works great.
