I need to do the brakes on my 67 C20. The fronts are easy, but the rears, well, those of you who have dealt with full-floaters know where I'm going.
Anyway, I need either the actual GM axle locknut tool (J-2222) or a reasonable facsimile. Where can I find such a tool at a decent price (the local Chevy dealership wanted $150 for the tool). While I'm at it, I might as well look at the bearings. My '67 shop manual lists a way to get the inner bearing out, but for the outer, I need another special tool (J-2230). The local Chevy dealership had no clue what I was talking about (showed them the picture too). They said I could just use the axle retaining bolts to drive it out. Sounds sketchy to me. Anyone know of a similar tool or a good shadetree way of getting that thing out? ------------------ 67 C20 '78 400sb 0.030" over, 9:1 cr, CC Xtreme 4x4 254H, port-matched '69 882 heads & stock cast iron intake, rebuilt Q-jet, Summit headers (1 5/8" primaries), true dual 2 1/2" glasspacked exhaust, NP435CR trans, 4.57 Eaton rear end. It's a decent-looking work truck. No top-end, but it's great off the line.
