thebeebe5 Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 To start with, how is it removed from within the axle? Since I have the rear brake assy completely off I'd at least like to check the rear outer bearings if it's not too much trouble. Looking at them I wasn't sure how to pull them from the recess of the housing though.... This is on my '37 P-4 btw. Quote
suntennis Posted February 7, 2016 Report Posted February 7, 2016 What has worked for me is to remove the axle key from axle or drum then slide the drum on the axle and screw the axle nut on a few threads. After this is done, use the break drum as slide hammertoe pull the axle out. Prior to doing this the brake backing plate would have to be removed. There are probably some shims between the backing plate end axle housing which you will want to reuse. The service manual talks about axle installation. Quote
