Rear End and Springs

Since the front end is finished it was time to work on the rear end and rear spring so today I removed  the assembly from the car.  After removing the rear wheels I put a wheel puller on the rear hubs and removed them.  The keyways that hold the hub on should have been about 4 inches long but were only 3/4 inch.  Also the rear grease seals were leaking and had soaked the rear brake shoes so they will have to be replaced.  Also found out someone had removed the entire emergency brake system from the car so I will have to find all that and replace them.  The left rear spring shackle is broken as you can see from the picture and the radius rods bolts on that side were also loose.  I will have to remove the bearing in the hubs to see if they are good or not.  The good news is that the rear end was full of oil, however it was the wrong kind .  Should have been 600 wt but instead was mp80/90.  Tomorrow I will remove the spring, torque tube, and driveshaft and the two axle housings to see what the gears and bearings look like.
