Then,
Bob and I began to reassemble the various bits and pieces of the drive train. Unfortunately, the flange that attaches to the drive shaft was well and truely gouged. Fortunately, the mad scramble over the past few years to get parts paid off. We found a really nice replacement. After cleaning and painting, it was gently lubed up and set in place along with the brake drum.
The brake linkage was relubed and reassembled. A good start to the morning was made even better by the absence of any leaks (mind you Bob reminded me that a lot of the fluid drained out during our reassembly...time will tell).
