We worked on the front axil bearing and hubs. Cleaned them up. Wire brush, drill with a wire burr, and emory cloth.
Then pressed on the front wheel seals. Used the front wheel hub flipped over and with a rubber mallet "pressed" them....... or more appropriately hammered them on! The bearing cones were in good condition thus, we repacked them using a bearing repacking cup, cone and grease gun.
WOW the cup and cone was a ton easier and faster than doing it by hand!!!
Here it is reassembled with a new cotter pin!!
The assembled hubs, ready to put into the front end.
We did have enough time to press in three of the spindle bushings. However, we didn't really press them in (just like the front wheel seals) but used a rubber mallet and a piece of hard wood to set them in the front end spindle. Was a bit of a pain to get the job done without damaging the bushings, but we succeeded.
This is where I miss all the tools on the farm. Today I wish I had the hydraulic press!!!
Finally, started painting parts that we have stripped and cleaned. This is going to look awesome!!
