    Ok, so here's the next question:
    When you spray that stuff on the bottom of your truck, im sure a little bit gets on the floor of your shop/garage. Does it turn your concrete into a permanent slipping hazard?

    Yes very slippery that’s why I do it at work. But if I was doing it at home I would put a tarp down

    It is a easy fix but with only 53000km on this guy and he is now toast make me wonder.
    These are a NON serviceable bearing
    I do have a new Aftermarket one but i need to decide on if i want to shim it down to see if i can get some more KM out of it.

    I have seen people using a pillow block bearing ...... might look into this

    Having some handbrake issues, every morning i release the HB and its like the wheel was stuck, little bit of go peddle and it brakes free. It has been like this for EVER.
    Yesterday same thing but when i put my foot on the brake after backing out of the drive way the peddle felt different .... drove to the end of the street and it was back to normal.... Weird

    same thing happened after work but pedal went to the floor FFS

    Pulled it into the garage at work and removed the rear drums, drivers side was fine, passengers side the pads separated from the shoes.

    Cleaned up the handbrake linkage that bolts to the back of the drum and the small parts as they were full of brake crap and rust. The part with the rubber on it was free on the pin but stuck in the housing. I wanted to take it apart and clean it but I feel like I would be playing with fire as I need this truck back on the road ASAP. If this broke when I was taking it apart I would be in a world of trouble.

    Soooooo this goes down hill ..... the geared adjuster on the drivers side is stripped so i had to put the old one back, the search starts for a replacement.

    They are right and left tread so this makes them side specific
