Got both rear axle sides done. Passenger was way worse than driver but both had very loose axle nuts and cork seals pretty well shot. One of the axle hub bolts is threaded the whole length and 1/2" shorter than the others so I'm off to the hardware store to try to find a grade 8 replacement...

Holy Big Nuts, Batman! I got my nut buster from amazon today. I made sure to get one with the "square" adapter. I put it on each nut and rotated (it was fun). Since it took about 15-20 lbs of pressure from the hand crank and I bought the 58:1 unit, it took about 870 to about 1160 foot pounds...

The front one had obviously been replaced at some time as it was brass-ish looking and clean. The rear and intermediate are questionable. I'll probably just replace both before I get back on the road but, at a minimum, that is on the to-do list before I button it up and go joyriding.

It appears that just maybe the rear driver and intermediate lugs haven't been removed in a very, very long time. Inner lugs aren't coming out. I don't want to buy a $300 impact as my compressor isn't going to drive it without burning it up. Off to google and a little searching and I found a...

I finally got some time this morning to get back after it. I cleaned the brake backing plate and everything else all the way back to and through the hub. I degreased the wheels and tires and pressure washed them clean (off of the truck). I used gear oil RTV to seal the keyway and put a new...

I hadn't notice that on disassembly but yes, one of the studs doesn't seem to be pressed in all the way. Given these were torqued down very, very tight, I assume there is/was some crud/corrosion in/around the stud hole when it was pressed in. The stud was certainly long enough to have enough...

and... the wheel cylinder is definitely bad. I'm done for the day as it's too hot to continue. I have it all apart and cleaned so next up is to replace the wheel cylinder, re-pack the bearings, and reassemble. More to come.

I am busy pulling the whole thing apart to clean it as it is seriously gunked up. That said, there was GL inside the shaft housing and coating the axle. It has now been sitting jacked up for a couple of days leaning inward, of course, and I did wipe out the tube. The inner nut was really...

Thanks again! I think I mis-stated -- MY BAD! Inner Hub Seal!!! 1970ish M35A2. I'm calling the "inner seal" the one that blocks dust out and keeps grease in and I can't find anything that appears to be double lipped (or triple). On what I'm calling outers, the stock one is the one that...

I'm not sure I understand single-lip vs. dual/triple for the inner axle seal. The seal that is on there now has a single "rubber" flange. The set I purchased looks quite similar. I'm not seeing any 2 or 3-lipped inner axle seals at any of the vendors.

When I bought this deuce there was a very small leak around the inside of the tire. I thought it might be a wheel cylinder but the smell was a dead giveaway that it was gear oil. The last couple of times I took it for a short drive, it went from a small leak to leaving a puddle under the tire...
