Nice work Don, and that’s a pretty clean tool bench too.

Good job Don , You could sell those. I will take a set.
-
Why not take the drive line out instead of taking out axles??
-
You can Art, but you have to get under the bus to pull the drive shaft. Not so with the axles. Otherwise it’s six of one, half a doxen of another. Take your pick.
-
There is no comparison between pulling the driveshaft and pulling an axle. No matter how fast or good someone is about dropping the driveshaft, I can beat them hands down and not expose myself to the risk of a bus falling on me.
Remember, the reason to pull and axle or driveshaft is the engine may not be running and that means the air to raise the coach may not be available and there also may be no way on the shoulder to support a coach with out the support sinking into the ground.
If no air cage the brakes, but if no air you aren’t raising the coach

Got the hub cleaned, painted, and installed.

Here some more pics
-
Here’s the sealant I used.
And the 2nd pic I believe is the original 1995 brake shoe part#. -
I have been towed twice and both times the tow truck driver already had a cover to keep the oil in after he removed the axle.
-
Nice job Don..
-
FWIW, I have never used or needed to use gasket sealant. Any time that is used on a hub gasket it becomes a pain in the ass to pull the axle.
The 10 hole gaskets and proper torque are all I have ever needed to seal against a leak.
-
I finished the passenger side. Soon I’ll change the driver side seal too “before” it starts leaking(preventative mx). It should be a lot easier to clean everything up since that side isn’t leaking(yet).
-
If being towed do you only have to pull one axle? Numerous references in thread are to pulling an axle., as you only need to pull one?
-
I would think both axles need to be pulled.

Great work and great post Don.
