Picking up parts-1/2 hour
Spent: $2.40
First thing Friday morning I inspected my paint job on the shock absorber brackets, spindle etc. I determined another coat of paint was in order so I sprayed the parts in two phases. I am now satisfied they are fit for purpose. Based on my discomfort with the nylon lock nuts for the rear differential U-bolts I purchased a few weeks ago I determined to get a more robust solution. I purchased grade 8 nuts ( I don't recall what they are called but they have tapered threads that lock down the nut as the nut is tightened down-they can only be used once) and washers. I am now set to go. I read up on replacing the stub axle seals and hub seals and did a quick inspection of one of the removed rear axle bearing...it has been recommended I change them out. I have yet to drive out the race from the rear hub to see what the number is ?
I was not overly motivated to work in the garage yesterday, a low energy day....
