I finally feel like this project is going somewhere.
I just finished assembling the rear axle, after replacing every seal and gasket, along with the carrier and shaft bearings. The brakes have a lot of new parts, too--everything that comes in the overhaul kit from Walcks.
Only one part got wrecked in the process--the pinion seal, which is, of course, the very last thing I was installing. I put it in backwards.
Damaged it trying to get it in, and there was no way it was coming out intact either. Took me a few minutes to figure out what I had done wrong. Oh well, I just used the one I had bought for the front. I've got more things to order before I can finish the front anyway.
Thanks to everyone here--without your help I wouldn't have gotten this far! And I know there's a lot further to go, so expect the questions to continue...
