Re: Leaking 1971 K20 front hubs

I was thinking the same thing, but after seeing the cracks (PO must have tried to "fix" the leak by cranking the bolts down) I decided to just pull the trigger on the warns (they were like 76.00 with shipping brand new ) I figured the warns would be cheaper and easier than trying to rebuild the old ones. I am going to keep the original hubs just in case I ever decide to go back to them.

On a side note, do I need to repack the bearings when I replace the hubs? They bearings were just repacked (I bought it from a friend who gave me all the receipts) before I got the truck in Dec. And if so, what all does that entail, special tools and what not?
