Welcome

Hi everyone, I'm Chuck and this is my project. I am going to attempt to make this tired old truck into something worth driving again!

New Wheel Studs and Seals




It was a good idea to just replace both wheel bearing seals while I was this far into the project even though only one was leaking. It's a good idea to add some 80-90W to the bearing after you slide it onto the hub especially if you are like me and cleaned all the old stuff out of it while inspecting it for defects. I used a short piece of 1/4" vac hose to extend the tip of my squeeze bottle of gear lube to squirt a little back into the bearing area before sliding in the axle and sealing it all up again.
