Frint axle done, now moving on to the rear axle....
I already knew there was some thrust/end play in the shafts, as well as lateral slop in the outer bearings... was then amused by the fact I didn't need a hub puller...left slipped right off, right popped with a good whack with a rubber mallot to the axle..... the tapers obviously worn given the brake drum was showing side wear.....
But boy howdy was there some interesting key way slop...
One wonders what Daisy suffered, where & why...
Obviously shattered a key in the past, causing major galling....
And so the archeology begins on Daisy's rear axle.
Starting to build up a parts list, and, figuring what kind of bearings I want to go with....
