Update, Just talked to Don. He is at the first rest area into Pa, on I90. He has a fuel leak on the hydraulic head. It is leaking out one of the 6 (5/16"-18) set screws around the base of the HH. Those set screws have a hole in the center of them. It's spraying fuel out through it. I...

He should be fairly close to monkeyboyarmy.

So, where did you buy the part? What part number and brand did you get?

M1009 rear axle bearing and seal replacement is covered in TM9-2320-289-34. It is in chapter 6, paragraph 14. or page 6-86(number at the bottom of the page)

Worst case, the spindle is replaceable. By the comment earlier about busting off a race, it sounds like you know what to do next. The Tms are great for direction and info. I personally do the bearing preload my own way(not the TM way). Chucks Trucks is one aftermarket source for new...

Ok, now that that's all settled. Back to fixing it! fwiw, if it was recently greased, it could have been too tight(heat may or may not have been noticeable). Or, it could have had rust spots on the races from sitting a long time(common). or a few other possibilities. The fact that you...

And to help with the TMs, look at this post I made today. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/922880-post7.html

Try this,

The outer bearing cage(part with the roller bearings) is what failed and allowed it to slide out over the inner race and retaining nuts.

That cable looks pretty bad. I'd cut it with a torch and replace it.

He ain't out of the woods yet, dry bearings like that may have spun the race on the spindle("welding it on"). I take it you have done no maintenance or checks of your truck. Time to do all the wheels and brakes.

Don't take this wrong(if your the sensitive type) but it sounds like you need to download and read the tech manuals for your truck to get a better understanding of what keeps it together. Also you need to use them to perform basic maintenance. Have you done a wheel bearing clean inspect and...

Here's a quick refresher lesson on the TMs. TM 9-2320-209-10 (for example). 9( not sure) 2320(wheeled vehicle), 209 (series/type of vehicle,TM), -10(level of information) ends in -10, basic operators manual ends in -20, basic maintenance and repairs ends in -34, Depot(technical) level...

Got those TMs downloaded yet? :-P

An a simple Google search for that part number will get a bunch of results, including this one. Oil Pan Drain Plug Seal For M35A2 / M54A2 Series Trucks, AN901-10C Problem solved for a $1 and about 2 minutes.

As simple as looking at the -20P TM, it shows a "spacer" AN901-10C

I'm sure you already did this but, I get some info just doing a Google search for "M35a3 alternator pulley".

A cutoff wheel on an air tool works well. Or a hacksaw blade.

I'd be interested to see a picture or 2.
