So I got the rear axle assembly off after a little bit of fighting with it.. It has seen some time in the water so the inside of the brake area was pretty rough shape. I would like to get another brake drum if anyone out there has one and if at all possible an outside factory chain guard that's still in working order...this one is pretty banged up and worn thru in some spots..
Made some more progress this morning, after I removed the rear axle housing I wanted to see about getting the rear wheel bearings and seals out.. Guys lemme tell ya, I honestly didn't think I was gonna have much success getting them out. Those suckers were freaking welded in there from all the water and mud they have seen it's no wonder they even moved at all...ordered the parts from ATCheaven.com. They are out of Austrailia so I hope I don't wait an eternity. Now I know what you all are prob saying, Why didn't get from a supplier here in the states... well its more due to the price than anything and to be honest when I ordered them I didn't realize they were even out of the country...hopefully they will get here soon enough.
