:.....For months (approx. 10,000 miles!) I've had a rotational noise coming from the driver's-side rearend of my '76 (250 4-door). I could never pin it down. Sounded like standing under an overpass with cars running over the expansion strips above you. (Almost a flapping noise). Anyway, no heat was detected anywhere along the axle or pumpkin indicating friction. : ::Well, finally I have a new observation: The noise increased---sounding more metallic, and there is 90W coming out of the driver's-side rear brake drum. (I've parked it). : ::Without taking the drum off, I assume I'm talking about replacing an axle seal and bearings? Never done this before, after all these years. Is it any challenge, or do I need any special tools? : ::Also, which way do you turn the brake adjustment to pull the drum off? : ::Thanks, Doug
