James, Thank you, that is very generous. I have the socket and the shim pack. I am very interested in making my own hub tool (or buying one) because I think I may have to do this again. I have seen the set up from Steve6x6x6 in the old post (below). I do have a question though, how do you...

I agree, but you have to remove the spindle nut to get to the roller bearings to re-pack them. It seems like I could put the nut back on (on tight to 50ft-lbs, back off a quarter turn, then tighten to 10-20ft-lbs) and not have it at the same depth as the previous guy within the tolerance they...

Thanks. I am still trying to figure out setting the gear lash. I am starting to lose faith in the TM. In the -20-3 (10-9), it says you ignore steps 21 through 24 if you are just packing the wheel bearings for PMCS, but steps 21 through 24 are all about setting the gear lash. I am thinking I...

Sorry, I meant the inner bearing that should be packed was getting flushed with differential oil on its way out. When I took the wheel apart, the inner bearing was as clean as the outer bearing. You answered my question though. Thanks again.

Thanks, they were both oil floating for a bit.... This is the picture that had me questioning it.... https://www.steelsoldiers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=582710&d=1442855113

So, it looks like it was the wheel hub seal. It is in 3 distinct pieces. I have the wheel disassembled and I have one quick question. The -20 states to pack the inner roller bearings. That make sense (mine were washed clean by the differential oil). It does not mention packing the outer...

Thanks everyone. You have confirmed something for me: I don't know what I am doing. In the interest of checking the simple/easy thing first, I would like to check the axle vent, but again, I don't know where it is. I don't see anything that looks like it in Figure 134 and I didn't see...

My driver rear wheel is leaking differential oil and I would like to fix it. Since taking the wheel off is a bit of a pain and then deadlines the vehicle in my driveway until I get the part, I was hoping to get the part ahead of time. The flaw in that plan is that I don't know what to order...
