I would recommend breaking it down for cleaning along with new o-rings and gaskets. When you reassemble don't go heavy on the grease a light coating internally is all that is needed. You have the earlier 6 bolt hubs (77) appose to the later 5 bolt however, the bolt retainers don't look in good shape so you can either buy new retainers or swap to studs.

Thank you. I will look into this option.

We got the rear brakes done. It was a piece of cake once we figured out how to use the brake tool I've had for all these years.



Got the rears bled with my power bleeder. Got all the old fluid out which was very nasty.
I'll add more to my profile as time goes and I start finding numbers on this thing when I clean it!
The front brakes are next along with all the bearings and seals. Then I'll work on the steering components. SAFETY FIRST!
