Rear axle is a breeze...... nothing complicated there.... bearing come out on there own... the races need to be driven out with a brass drift/punch. Luckily all my bearing are good so far.... that is why I hesitate to use heat on the front bearing.

Keep us posted of your success or frustrations......

... I will try my hand at it again tomorrow.


Alex and company...... when I take my brake drums in for turning will I need to have the bearings installed for them to align properly on the lathe...... I doubt any of the regular modern brake lathe would accommodate the CMP massive bulky format. National Brake and Clutch are going to reline my shoes, trun the drums and radius the shoes to match for maximum contact thereby eliminating all or most of the breakin period and tedious multiple adjustments.
