Front brakes have all been rebuilt and are now ready to go. New wheel cylinders installed. Original brake shoes with new pads. Anti seize is on all the adjustment points to ensure a trouble free life.

Both steering knuckles have been fully disassembled and degreased. I also removed the bearing races as they had some pitting in them. Lastly is a picture of the home made into pin puller I made up. It worked like a charm and the pins pulled out trouble free.

Waiting for a number of parts orders to arrive and for spring to get here (can’t come soon enough). I removed the rear hub to start breaking it all down to individual components. New bearings, seals, pads, wheel cylinders and drums skimmed are in line to be done.

Jordan, I'd just clean it up those balls with a bit of emery tape.

Scuffing your balls.....
Hi jordan
At least your rear drum was nice and dry with no leaks.... On the front axle..... did you get new NOS felts from LWD.... or are you making your own........ which ever you use you might want to consider oiling them very well by soaking...... I used the thick chain oil....... warm up the oil in a cake pan....... don't let Vicky catch you...... the oil will get thinner....... and do this outside...... thin out the oil with some acetone..... squish the felt until really soaked ......cover and let it turn thick again..... wipe excess and install. The surface rust on the ball ..also called the eggcup in mixed company.... can be buffed out with ajax powder and a wet 3M pad. I also found that the syringe needle that fits on your grease gun....they sell them at Tractor supply....will fit nicely inside the roller bearings and you can really pack them in easier and use less wasted grease. Your hands will be soft as silk when that job is done.

Front steering knuckles have all been cleaned up and I’ve begun painting them.

Rear brake drums/hubs and the rear brake backing plates came back from the sandblasters. I’m always impressed with the quality that is done by the guy I use.
I also got a nice care package from LWD Parts.
