Also, I think the axle seals were installed backwards.
It had the dual lip leather CR seals with the springs to the dry side.
I always thought that the springs go to the wet side.
Which is correct ?
And I'm still trying to determine where the return spring for the parking brake goes ..... anyone have an original setup to help ?
Thanks.
