Hi All,
I'm trying to remove the rear axel on my '37 Ruby. its leaking oil at a great rate from the joint and apparently the N/S end is damaged. I have a spare shell so plan to just remove the hub and carrier, remove the axel, split it and replace the shell that side with a new silicon seal in the middle (hopefully the crown and pinon will be in good condition.
Here's my question. So far I have removed the brakes and hub from the near side and now I have exposed the four bolts that hold the "plate" to the axle. What wrench size should I force onto these?
