Well i redid the rear brake hubs a few weeks ago, new bearings and seals, but yesterday on my first day off in about a week I noticed that there was gear oil on the ground by the passenger side rear tire....Doooh!
So today I tore into it to see how bad it was....
All that oil everywhere...that can't be good.
Oh boy!
Turns out I nicked the inner seal on the threads when installing it. Gouged the seal and popped the spring loose as well.
And with all that oil everywhere the rear shoes were toast!
So off to the parts store for some new Wagner riveted 12x3 shoes, and SKF inner seals....Did not want to use the raybestos bonded units.
Ah that sucks.
Lots of cleaning to get that gear oil off everything. But finally got everything clean up and start re-assembly. This time I used some black electrical tape over the threads to smooth things out just in case I get weak and wobbly trying to lift that drum and hub into place.
So it turned into an expensive day. Amazing what a small nick in a seal can end up costing you....a big chunk of change, and half a day.

We learned something new every day. 👍
I use Gorilla Tape or used to use duct tape. Brians idea is better. Less cleanup of the adhesive.

Always a good day when you learn something new.Originally Posted by IGOTACUMMINS.COM
I just folded the end over on itself so I couuld grab it easily once the drum was in place. The vinyl tape, as you mentioned, leaves no residue on the threads.
How many is that now Steve?
