I tried to bleed the brakes and some fluid came out but it wouldn't continue flowing. I pulled the drum off and notice the right side of the brake cylinder was wet ( leaking ) .(ah ha found the problem. I cleaned up the drum and pulled the shoes and replaced the brake cylinder ( I had a new one) .. putting the brake drum back on I noticed that I didn't have much room for the Axel nut after the drum was on, pulled off the drum and thought the Axel shaft was shorter than before... I pulled on the axle shaft, it moved out some. Also the trans axle moved too. (this can't be good, am I right?) I notice something loose on the axle , its the spacer sleeve I think (looking at Bently page 60 Fig. 10-10 in Transmission and Rear axle) ,,,,, I pulled it out and can see ball bearings ... This again can;t be good...... Figuring out what I can do next......... It seems the spacer goes back in but has about an 1/8 of an inch sticking out.,... (something slipped to keep it from going on?) or do I just pound on it with a block of wood to get it back in? Anyone got any ideas? Trey
