January 28, 201511 yr i started hearing a grinding noise coming from the right rear,, after jacking it up ,the right rear hub spins free of the axle.. im guessing these hubs are splined ? and it took the splines out of the hub?
January 28, 201511 yr Author on inspection,the splines are gone in the drum,,shaft looks ok. ,,there where new brake shoes and wheelcylinders installed ,, i guess they didnt get the retaining nut tight enough?
January 29, 201511 yr I think the torque on the 4WD rear hubs is 140-170ft.lbs or so, or it has a missing/damaged cone washer.
February 5, 201511 yr Author its back on the road.. replaced the hub and wheel seal..while it was down i replaced the drivers outer door handle, and cleaned up under the hood a little..gonna drive it around and retorque and on to the next project.looks like a heater vent door is stuck open ,its letting in cold air while driving..and the fan is making noise.
