WEll as I attempt to help my oldest sun and do a rotor and bearings and brake job on his truck he just picked up!! My grand children and family will be driving or riding in, I new it would be 70+ degs out side I could save them some cash and do it my self.:cheers:
My son picked up all the parts and I woke up delivered my intake to ship out and got me some breakfast. good so far eh!!
Well first thing I do is remove everything on the drivers side and The seal to the inner bearing is the wrong one.#-o
Drive back to town and traded for the correct ones.
Packed bearings and installed rotor and they sent Two right hand calipers with mikey too:angry1:.

Bake to town!!:banghead: and traded for the correct left hand and got it installed.
They was very embarrass to see me re-arive ..ops:
Then I move to the right side and here is what I found.:binky:

A blessing that you found that before it caused an accident.
All about your point of view.
If that was an early A with KH brakes
it might take weeks to find a good used spindle.
Part houses force me to 3 visits too.
1. "Come pay for the part and we'll order it."
2. Go have a GRRrrr at the WRONG PART !
3. Go once more to get the part.

Good catch Mike!
I know what you mean as far as trips to the parts house. Although it has got much better since I started dealing with one place all the time. They let me do the look-up on their 'puter, so I am sure I am getting the right part. If not, it's my fault. LOL

Car parts and plumbing supplies = ALWAYS more than 1 trip for parts.

A good man at our salvage yard pulled this part and charged me $35.00.
I gave the parts puler a $5.00 tip and came home and installed it.:clock:
I found out way it was so trashed. Who ever dun this leaved out the washer
you see in the picture and you can see the spun keeper on the left.:bootysha:
So I went to the old home place and pulled one off the gray 1/8 mile truck.
Creed will finish this up for me!! I am pooped8)8)

Yep, that keyed washer is definitely an important part.
