    Front brake drums on M38A1

    I have heard not to use moly grease in the GAA applications because GAA is lithium based. I just planned on using my Lucas Red and Tacky. It is good grease and has served me well in the past. The new wheel bearing is packed in light cosmolene so I will clean it with gas as you suggested. When I...

    Front brake drums on M38A1

    I made significant progress tonight. My universal hub puller arrived in the mail from Ebay so I got to work. I spent most of the night just soaking up paper towels with old axle grease. The old outer seal had definitely been bad for some time so years of grease had accumulated in the drums...

    I have the drum off now. I am just trying to locate the suitable puller for the hub. I will probably just buy one off ebay.

    Front brake drums on M38A1

    I am going to clean everything up and check for leaks but I think it is just axel grease that had pushed past bad seals. That's probably why the bearing failed too. Does anybody have a good line on a place to rent suitable puller for the hub? I planned on getting one from oriellys but it did not...

    Front brake drums on M38A1

    Success! In a last ditch effort before drilling out the old screw I went out and got a bigger and stronger flat head to put on my impact. When I used the impact that you hit with a hammer it did nothing but when I broke out the pneumatic driver and turned up the pressure it broke them free. Upon...

    Front brake drums on M38A1

    Front brake drums on M38A1

    I have heard the stories about the hub but right now I am still fighting the screws. I got home from work and tried heat and the chisel for about a half hour with no results. I am going to try to get my hands on an impact driver and see how that goes.

    Front brake drums on M38A1

    I am having the same problem with the rear drum on my A1. I am trying to get to the rear hub to replace it but I can not get these bolts out to save my life. I have been hitting them with PB Blaster for a week and a half. I have tried tapping, scraping paint and rust off, and heating with a blow...
