start to do the brakes on my 91 4runner 4cyl 5spd. pull the right rear drum and uh oh. the putrid smell of gear oil fills my nostrils. shoes, drum and everything else nicely coated (explains the poor stopping power) for now i have sprayed it all down with brakecleaner and put it back together and wow does it stop great. My question is when i look there are about 4 different seals shown for the outer seal. how many seals are on the outer end of that axle? and if more than one is there one that fails more common than the others?
My other issue was i noticed the right front tire starting to cup. going to do brakes so i raise the truck and grab tire to do bearing check. right tire wobbles alot. i pull the hub off and the outer nut is only about 2 threads from a disaster waiting to happen. used channel locks to get it mostly back on. Anyone know what size axle socket that nut takes? thx guys.
