    Wheel bearing and operating temp?

    Hey fellas. So I started to re-address the brake assembly and bearings etc... to try and get things properly set following many of the tips from this thread.

    Ok doesn't seem too daunting... I see a few designs of the measuring tool, but this on at Amazon seems to be the most used and popular for those like me on a tight budget. Would this be a good on to get? HERE

    Wheel bearing and operating temp?

    Right now it's only very slightly pulling to one side when braking, but I've not been braking too hard or going too fast. it usually will show a pulling to one side better when going at a decent speed and then braking harder.

    Wheel bearing and operating temp?

    All good info- thank you all...I suspected I would need to dive back into that wheel. SO I've never messed or adjusted the brakes on something like this, but I never did the bearing job either until now. Is what I need to do with the brake shoes, measuring, and manually adjusting a tough job...

    Wheel bearing and operating temp?

    Hey guys it's me again...about my '65 Imperial. I had to install new front end wheel bearings. The pass side actually failed on me and welded itself to the spindle. After a good time cleaning that up, I had to get another hub/drum assembly from Murray park, as my hub was too badly damaged to...

    Speedo cable leak and seals?

    Ok ..so the speedo cable is done. That is to say I've installed the 2 new seals and hopefully there will be no more tranny fluid leaks from that cable. I'm also changing out the pan seal and filter while I'm in the area and loosing tranny fluid anyway. This brings me to my other question...

    Speedo pinion disconnect?

    Yes this brings up another point. The Clip. should the inner seal rest on the clip, above the clip indentations, flush with the top of the pinion? or go below the clip and bottom out inside the base of the pinion? If you see the end of my speedo cable in post# 10, it has a stem that protrudes at...

    Speedo pinion disconnect?

    Thanks for the replies..sorry for my confusion, but I'm new to this pinion speedo thing and it's a messy affair putting in these seals.

    Speedo pinion disconnect?

    Okay I've posted about needing new seals for the Speedo pinion to tranny connection point. I got those finally, but now I need help to figure out how the cable disconnects from the housing. The FSM simply says to "carefully " work the pinion and sleeve assembly out the housing, but does it pull...

    Speedo cable leak and seals?

    Hey thanks for the tip for where to find the seals. So I have new seals but how do you remove the speedo pinion cable from the transmission? The Manual just says carefully work the pinion and sleeve assembly out the housing. But does it un-screw out, or does it just pull out?
