MPH Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Seeing how this was brought up a few days back thought I'd take some pictures doing it tonight. Think I was too close as some a bit fuzzy. sorry, but think the method shows. It helps if you prethink where you put the screw, I was bumpping the brake band, but it still worked. Once the seal is outta the hole just get behind it with a screwdriver On the drill tip is the screw I use, I like the little black "framers" for doing metal studs, good lumberyard should carry them. Not much wonder the seal leaked, hard as a rock and worn 060 bigger then the new one, the lip is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Looks like you about got it whipped.with the seal out you should be able to ck the movement a little closer. You would think the bearings and bushing would hold up better then that,after all it only been wearing about 40 year or so.^:D [img]/club2/attach/Willy/Watching.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Marty, I see you decided to "give it a shot" and put in new seals. Let us know if they work OK or decide to fail soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
