I will answer for Mark. Starting today, my dear husband is now an employee of
the great state of Texas. He was accepted into the academy of the Texas Dept.
of Criminal Justice to become a correctional officer. In other words, a
babysitter for the state. Ha. No offense to anyone that has anyone
incarcerated. Mark will now be staying in Huntsville during the week and
coming home on the weekends. It will be tough at first, but we will make it
work. He will be in the academy for 6 weeks and then starts at an unit in
early January. I am very proud of him.
He will be able to read emails when he comes home tomorrow night, so he will
probably post then.

If letting Mark do it is an option, I’d let Mark do it.

Ok if you are this far, you read the disclaimer.
My 1970 bus has a scraping noise coming from the rear wheel. I can put on the
brake and it stops. So last weekend I pulled the drum expecting to see
something loose in the brakes. What I found was the spacer ring appears to be
rubbing on the back of the drum. Both surfaces were very shiny like they were
rubbing. I pulled the oil seal and didn't see anything special.
So I looked on the bus depot and wolfsburg west websites and they don't show a
spacer ring and no p/n's. My bently and haynes manuals both show the spacer.
1. Does the spacer rotate with the drum?
2. Does the spacer push against the bearing?
3. What's the spacer for?
Looks like I'm heading to pulling the rear bearing housing and replacing the
bearings and seals. Reading the manual this looks a pretty big project. What
do you think? Run it until it explodes? Try to tear down the bearing housing?
Let Mark do it? What special tools will I need?
Any advice is appreciated.
Ronnie
