Well the right front wheel on my truck is making some noise, i removed the drive flange and it was full of dried grease. The outer bearing is shot.
I want to replace all of the bearings, seals in both front hubs.
Questions:
1. Should I also replace the rear bronze bush behind the mud shield on the stub axle and the associated rear seal? 5 & 6 in the attached pic
2. Should the exterior drive flange (that the dust cap goes onto) have any play in the splines that interface with the stub axle end?
3. Are the HD drive flanges that RN carries worth the coin? also do they require any modifications to run?
4. What hub seal kit is for my early 110?
