thats some carnage.

I had a wheelbearing noise in my GL10 for over 40k miles and just changed all of them last month. the right rear had a big ol pit in the race. glad I did it after seeing that pic.

well, I took off the trailing arm today, and put on one from Mr. DeMoss. fit nicely. greased the bearings. and started on rear disc brake conversion too.... but need new pads...

 

and I think I found out why this one locked up. it appears that the cone washer was welded to the drum! it's all welded and somebody did some grinding too. there's a big nail through the axle nut. they probably cooked all the grease out.

 

the other side is all stock looking, and the bearings are fine there....

Im suprised you didnt flip since it was a rear wheel

i agree with suberdave and milesfox what was your record?icon10.gif

I thought the previous "mechanic" that worked on my car was "inventive"...

 

...let's crown this guy the "King of Cobble".
