Made a ton of progress on Wendel this weekend with John S. Rebuilt both front and rear axles with all new bushings, oil seals, Warn hubs,etc. The inner seals had failed in front, filling the differential with chassis grease. Installed the new master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake shoes, brakes lines, brake booster, etc. Put in new heavy duty DOT 4 brake fluid and bled the system. Took awhile since the fittings on the new rear lines didn't match the rear junctions at the wheel cylinders. Painted the exhaust and installed new fuel lines. Next comes gas tank and troubleshooting the wiring.
