Re: First time poster... with a couple of questions.
Hello all, back again on the 32. First of all, I would like to thank everyone who suggested Steve Blancard for help with my generator. I now have a generator that now works as it should. Now for yet more issues/questions. I have moved on to bearings and brakes. The front bearings are fine, but the rears not so much. The axle housings are out of round, left side being 2.063 on the high, and 2.060 on the low. The right side is 2.063 on the high and 2.058 on the low. The low being where the weight of the car rides. The hubs are, left, 3.1915 and the right is 3.1900, and the surfaces where the bearings run in the hubs are in poor shape, with some evidence of past damage and pitting. The key-ways aren't in the best shape either. There was quite a bit of play in the hubs before I pulled them. I haven't been able to find any service limits for this car, as of yet anyway. I have found repair sleeves when researching online, but I do not have the machinery to use the repair sleeves anyway. Also, I have confirmed that the steering gearbox is very loose, and will most likely need to be rebuilt. So my question is, has anyone had to deal with these problems your selves, and what advise could anyone offer as to how I can fix them? again, thanks for all the help.
