Did you use the 203 or 203PP bearing ? .

These Delcotrons are simple & robust units , designed for easy & cheap field service .

Thanx ! I rarely have time to watch videos , this one was good as it shows others what to do .

Didja clean and re lube the threaded adjuster with LubriPlate ? .

They have simple brake spring tools that would have eased / speeded up the job greatly .

On those full floater axles , my Son got me to try Permatex " The Right Stuff "
and now I no longer use the gaskets atall , never even have any seeps much less leaks ~ give it a try next time .

I tried to post a comment on your youtube but can't .

Eagle Alloy #118's, 15X10's I got em for a steal and haven't seen another set on our trucks so they have kind of grown on me. I am looking for a set of 15X8's for the front but so far no luck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Today I removed all the black spray paint from my grill and nose. No fun, but the rewards! Also swapped in some H.I.D.'s
