Last time I went to Napa Auto Parts, they gave me the Disk Brake Grease and said that was it. I don't recall seeing any "Drum" brake grease... Will have to take another look. Do you recall what type of "Base" the grease you used was? Such as Lithium, Moly, Mineral Oil/Aluminum???

BTW, about the cork material... Where abouts in the keyway does it go? Under the bearing, sandwhiched between the grease seal and adjusting nut? The book I have doesn't state that little fact. I'd assume its to keep the differential fluid from passing through the keyway tab on the outer oil seal.

Mike, When I was at Fontana with you guys, I bought 6 wheel cylinders, so I'm golden on that... Just not looking forward to bleeding the brakes. Getting the plug on top of the master cylinder was a pain in the neck last time I checked the fluid level.

Also, As far as the seals go, are you supposed to lightly coat the outer surface of the seals with oil/grease before putting the drum on or do you put it on dry? I would assume that the seal should have a very thin layer of grease on the outer portion where it contacts the drum to prevent it from burning....

Thanks again,
