You all are GREAT!!! The Napa part numbers were Perfect ! I pulled the wheel, Just as I had thought and heard. The inner bearing was showing signs of major wear. So I replaced the bearing and race after I repacked it and the outer, 100% better. I checked the outer bearing and race and they were fine. Thanks again for all the help and information to help me keep my truck on the road.
Thanks Everybody for all the help and advice. I ended up buying a bigger tab washer, file the tab some, and still had to add 3/4 flat washer to space for the split pin. Was able to torque to about 135+ ft lbs. My Tuck is back on the road with a firm brake pedal and no axle wobble. I AM REAL LUCKY, I got away from this disaster for under $ 20.00. Don, Thanks for that advise. I pulled the shoes and checked out the pistons and inspected the rubber. No cuts no scuffs no harm no foul, I got the brakes bled with no puddles of dot 3. Drove it around the block doing emergency stops. She stopped straight @ 35 MPH with a nice skid.
I'm feeling ok at this time with the repair but I am heading out to Hanks place ( about 20+ miles ) to have him give me a hand pumping more dot 3 thru the system. Dav, Any time you are back in town Heck YES a ride in my old beater would never be a problem. I can ALWAYS use another body to help me push the beast after the next break down LOL ! I'm sure we can get you a ride in some old scrap iron laying around my Pop's or even at friend or two.
Thanks again EVERYBODY, You Guys are the BEST source of information. Rod
