Rob Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Real consistent to how they usually come out. Glad you were able to get the perimeter screws out of the hub too. I've had to drill several of them which snapped off clean. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

tenfive0 Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Upon closer inspection, before taking the window out it was noticeable cracked as shown. That is the left side the worst of the leaking. The screws being well lubricated from leaking is perhaps why they came out without to much difficulty. Not done yet. I ordered two (2) window kits still need to do the right side. My luck the right side will fight me all the way. I'll spray Kano Kroil on the screws overnight before trying to remove the right side. Any recommendation on what weight oil should be used in the hubs?

Rob Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I've always used Lucas hub oil myself. Never had any problems with it.

terry Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 90 weight gear oil will work fine in the hubs too. terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/56393-front-oil-axle-leak/page/2/#findComment-426169 Share on other sites More sharing options...
