you got me goat..lazy as charged. been on kiatech a few years. just makin small talk really.

thanks peabody...those are the little tips i was looking for. got old axle out last night. couple smacks with hammer on the backside and she popped out. used axle does have plate, seal,bearing,race. they look good.

one thing i noticed is the outer bearing is packed. it doesnt get lubed from the axle oil. theres a seal on axle before bearing.also the nut holding bearing on is reverse threaded. these little cars are so easy to work on.

im gonna repack other axle bearing, put 2 new wheel cylinders, new shoes on both sides. and new drum on the side with new axle. should be good then.
i put her in a ditch couple years ago bent left rear axle and drum. it was laughable. that tire wobbled so bad it was funny. thing is the axle and drum were both tweaked,so i pulled drum rotated it 180 deg. and it offset the bend in axle. almost perfectly. but...lots of pulsation in brake pedal. then blew a wheel cylinder. so just makin it right after all this time. thanks guys <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
