Papa’s Truck

1990 Chevy C1500
I started doing that this weekend for that very reason. Was contemplating renting a porta power for doing the heavy work of popping it out and then working it from there.
 
Ordered up some cunningham machine door pins, rollers, and roller bars.

Talk to me about pinion seal replacements. From what I've read and looked at it, it shouldn't be that bad. Scribe a mark across the pinion shaft, nut, and yoke. Remove nut, yoke, seal. Install seal, yoke, tighten nut back to where marks line up. I could go and get a beam wrench and see what the rotational torque is before hand if I wanted to be double sure.
 
Decided to bleed the brakes tonight. Pumped a quart through 3 of the wheels to get clean fluid. IMG_6914.jpeg

Why only 3 you ask? Because I went to do the fourth and nothing. Pulled the bleeder out and nothing. Crack the line loose and fluid is pouring out. So now I get to yank that caliper and see if I can repair it or more than likely just replace it. Always something.

Door pins, rollers, and roller bars from Cunningham machine. Solid looking parts and made in the good ol USA.
