Axles, brakes, drums, tires, fenders...

So, here she sits as of yesterday, looks the same today, but with 4" of snow...



Close up of the area that needs attention...



I want to take some initial measurements before I tear it apart and I have some work on the phone with Dexter since I don't like the look of a couple of the areas on the spindle where the inner seals ride (one of the many reasons I went this route was due to leaks on the inner seals, so I want good surfaces for the seals). Need to let the snow melt anyway.

I set the new axles up in the shop on sawhorses (sans brakes) to look at the runout of the drums and was hampered by the fact that my (or any conventional) dial indicators will not fit inside a 10" drum to measure. I ordered a cheapie dial test indicator with an extra long bar and we will see how that works.
