72 Duster Resurrection
It's been a while, but I am making slow progress on the duster.
I took apart one of my 74 front disk brake bearings. Pics below.
Removed dust cap. Seeing rust color in grease...
Inside of dust cap. Full of old grease with rust color. It probably got water in it?
Nice and rusty in there.
There is a small flat/chipped spot (black spot in picture) on at least one roller that I dont like.
Inside of the outer race. Most of this felt like junk sitting on the surface that will wipe away, but that roller was chipped..
Looks like I should replace my front inner and outer bearing on both sides. The outer rings on both bearing are pressed in correct? I see that some people drive them in with big sockets and a hammer. Anyone who's done this have any tips?
