The joys of old trucks. Doing maintenance. Last week I drained and fill the diffs to change out the gear oil. However I overfilled the rear diff and ended up noticing gear oil draining from the drip hole on the brake backing plate. There was also some staining and the odd time a small dribble from the axle end on the hub. Today I pulled it all apart to do some cleanup and get it so it isn’t leaking. Thankfully the inner cone did its job and kept and leaking oil from getting into the brake drum or on the shoes.

Tomorrow I hope to be getting everything back together again.
