Rear Wheels

Pulled off the rear wheels with the help of a borrowed wheel puller. The brakes are metal shoes without any lining, maybe latter I'll replace with lined shoes. On the drivers side there was a slight leak of fine lubricant. removed the end cap, felt seal and washer, and pulled out the bearing. This bearing had no grease in it just fine lubricant like oil coating. On the passenger side removed the same parts. This bearing was packed with dried grease such that I had to scrape and dig to remove it. Neither side had internal oil/grease seals. Cleaned both bearings and measured them and they were all around 0.498 - 0.497 diameter and looked in good shape (these are the original Hyatt style bearings). The sleeves had some pretty good grooves in the outside edges so replacement was called for. Installed new neoprene seals and bearing sleeves, packed the bearings in grease and reinstalled them. Cleaned out the two grease cups on the axle shaft and repacked with grease. Replaced the end caps, felt and washer with new components, and reinstalled the wheels after cleaning and painting.
