Re: Greetings

I tackled the driver side hub. It was stuck in the locked position. I took it apart, saw that the gaskets had failed and the gears, spring and retainer were very rusted. I removed everything, dropped them in an acid etch rust remover and they cleaned up nicely. Greased everything, put in new O-rings and put it back together - everything works great now.

Scrubbed the exterior of the hubs, painted them and got the rims painted and new rubber too...
