I personally hate those things and would NEVER use them. Hand packing every time.
BTW, many, many years ago I worked as a truck mechanic and no one I ever saw in the garage ever used a torque wrench tightening bearings. I always use slip joint pliers and like most people here, tighten down and then back off then bring the nut up finger tight. Been working for me since I started working on vehicles in the early sixties.  |
Those look great!! Looks like the grease zerk was working like it should...lubing
I'll bet those shoes and drum will last 300k miles. Braking power? Well, I wouldn't bet on that
