Rolling At Last!

Today I installed the backing plates with the new shoes and actuator pins.  Then I pressed in new inner and outer races for new wheel bearings in the brake drums and hubs.  I let the tires sit out in the sun all morning and installed them on the rims.  It was much easier to install them warm than cold.  I also used different bags for lubrication this time.  I used grocery bags this time instead of heavy duty garbage bags because they were thinner and it was much easier to install the tires this time.  Mounted the wheels and tires on the car and finally have all 4 wheels rolling at once!  Steve
