Tire size, bearings & brakes Questions.

[Les Kovacs]

Thanks David & Rob...so 7.50 x 16 are fine...the jeep just recently has had an extra leaf added to each spring pack due to minor sagging....it raised the jeep about 1/2 inch over what it used to be so clearance should not be a problem....34 inches at front floor to bottom of center fender well.

Any idea what size brake shoes (front & rear)a 67' CDN2 would have without first having to tear off everything and measure?

On that note....Rob... I read in a magazine that you can grease the kingpin bearings by removing one or two bearing cap bolts and by using a grease needle attachment. I read that diehard wheelers would drain water from their front axles after a river crossing by removing one bolt from the lower bearing caps. (Four Wheeler 1990's...with pictures)....can this actually be done?

Thanks for responding Rob.....its been a while....hope your summer went well...all the very best for 2019.
