Glenn and Fordy .....

Removed the old seal and took out the bearing and cleaned all that crap out of there. I will measure the ID this afternoon. It has a "very small ridge" (1/64) around the inner cirumference(sp) and has grooves in the brake area but they are not real deep ! I'm hoping that now I have everything apart that maybe they can chuck it on a lathe to turn and take a skin cut. I'll know Monday as I really don't want to remove the hub.

I'll take a photo and try the link Glenn sent me later today. Still cleaning up leaves since it's 70º day in Northern Michigan. Very unusual for this time of the year !

Early this morning I sprayed the brake area again and wire brushed it all out. It's getting cleaner each time I do it. I'll be taking that apart on Monday and clean and paint the backing plate.

Thanks all and more later.

Mike
