Les Fairbanks hub puller is a jewel. I know folks who have replaced the rear axle to get rid of the tapered hubs, The Fairbanks puller makes it so easy it just is not a problem. If you are working in that area, I have to share this: I was having a hard time after the drum was off the axle removing the axle from the axle housing, Someone suggested I place the drum back on the axle after I removed the backing plate, shoes etc , then put a washer and the axle nut back and use the drum as a slide hammer. It worked, but it took such force that it forced the nut past the threads-stripped off the threads on the nut and the axle . I had to get two new axles. I don’t know what the answer is, but that wasn’t it.

Questions 1. What width size whitewall did the 300G come with? I'm planning on buying Coker radials, The stock size was 8.00 - 15. Would that equate to 225 70R-15? 2. I also need to do the brakes from stem to stern. I was going to use NAPA for most of the parts. Comments? Recommendations? Has anyone used s/s brake lines from Good Brakes or Brake Hoses Unlimited on EBay? Thanks, Mike 300G Barn Find __._,_.___ Posted by: Michael Moore <mmoore8425@xxxxxxx> To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or go to https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/all/manage/edit For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/search.htm#querylang __,_._,___ |
