Browsing through the Manuals section of bdub's site, i noticed that
1973 and 1974 coaches had a recall on rear wheel bearings.

Since I lack all records of service history, is there any way to tell
if this job was done without disassembling everything?

Yes, the replacement hubs look different at the wheel flange.
Unfortunately, I don't have the rest of the information at my finger tip.

Gene Fishers excellent website has this info on rear hub differences to tell if the recall has been done.

Let me see, hmmm. This was a recall around 1974 or so regarding wheel
bearings on Gmc motorhomes. Apply the ordinary man's opinion to this. It
was supposed to be fixed almost 40 yrs ago. The coach is still in service
today. What is the likelihood that this particular coach DID NOT get
repaired. I wish I could get these kinds of odds in Vegas. Sure wouldn't
have to work on motor homes to supplement my retirement income. (VERY BIG
GRIN) Anyway you can rest easy about this particular problem in your coach
because you checked it. Let me see, only about 10 jillion more things to
keep us up nights.

Patrick,

I see others have addressed your basic question; here's some additional info that will come in handy when you do check them.

There is a problem with some seals; the photographs below explain it in depth:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g5621-rear-axle-seals-skf21771.html

There are four excellent greases to use; the first three contain molybdenum disulfide (graphite) which I feel is beneficial.

Number 1 on my Hit Parade is Valvoline Synpower: a full synthetic grease and contains molybdenum disulfide (graphite).

http://www.valvoline.com/products/brands/synpower/grease/63

Number 2 is Valvoline Dura Blend: a blend and also contains molybdenum disulfide.

http://www.valvoline.com/products/brands/durablend/grease/67

Number 3 is Caterpillar Desert Gold: is what I use here in Australia because Valvoline does not distribute either of the above
greases here. I believe it is a full synthetic grease from reading its specs, however, I have not been able to verify that from
anything I've read.

http://parts.cat.com/parts/machine-fluids/greases/desert-gold-grease

Number 4 is Mobil 1: is a full synthetic grease, however, from what I've read on the GMCnet it has a tendency to separate.

Rob M.

Thanks Rob.

Odd. Can't see anyone's photos on GMCMHPhotos. Well, I can see mine,
but none of the ones anyone's linked me to will load.

Patrick,

You're welcome.

I just clicked on the first link in my response below and it opened:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g5621-rear-axle-seals-skf21771.html

And so did all the others.

Did the other links open for you?

Rob,

I am confused. Are you saying Molybdenum sulfide is graphite? I hope not since they are two different chemicals.

Oh oh!

I thought molybdenum sulfide was graphite; thanks for correcting me.

Hey they're both grayish black, kinda! ;-)

Yes, all the other links worked fine. Further investigation reveals
that gmcmhphotos' galleries don't work in Google Chrome. Probably a
javascript related issue. And, now i've seen your pictures. Since my
coach does have the replacement bearings, and has only 62k miles, how
soon will I need to worry about these seals?

Patrick,

You noted "my coach does have the replacement bearings, and has only 62k miles." I'm sorry but I'm going to answer your question
with a question; what was the date and mileage the rear wheel bearings were last removed, cleaned, inspected, and re-greased?

There's a saying that pops up around here quite frequently; "if you didn't do it - it hasn't been done."

Regards,
Rob M.

gene,

the gallery Rob linked to,
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g5621-rear-axle-seals-skf21771.html
doesn't show any thumbnails or sorting options on my chrome, even with
all extensions disabled, unless I go into Incognito mode.

all that shows after the paragraph describing the gallery is the list
of users browsing.

Perhaps there's a plugin messing things up...

Rob, I've been using that phrase myself, since I first saw it
somewhere else on here. Think I should probably do it ASAP?

Patrick,

We intend to keep both our GMC's until I wind up being a box of ashes so my philosophy vis-à-vis our GMC's is:

1) Go through each system and make repairs using the best materials available and best work practices.

2) Priority of work: brakes, steering, suspension, engine cooling, engine, transmission, electrics (I listed electrics last as I am
electrically challenged!)

As far as not being able to see the Photo Site why don't you just download Microsoft Internet Explorer? I have Google Chrome and IE
on my PC.

Regards,
Rob M.

gene,

the gallery Rob linked to,
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g5621-rear-axle-seals-skf21771.html
doesn't show any thumbnails or sorting options on my chrome, even with
all extensions disabled, unless I go into Incognito mode.

all that shows after the paragraph describing the gallery is the list
of users browsing.

Perhaps there's a plugin messing things up...

Rob, I've been using that phrase myself, since I first saw it
somewhere else on here. Think I should probably do it ASAP?

To me, it looks the same in both Chrome and Firefox (Bodhi
Linux, Enlightenment window manager, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS based distribution).

I see a bunch of thumbnails, I click on one, and I can see it big, with
forward and backward arrows as part of the photo.

yes, i'm not sure what the issue is. Thumbnails sometimes work fine in
the main user galleries, like
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/u7-mrerf.html
and sometimes not, like on my own
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/u42043-fitzmorrispr.html

Whatever the cause, it goes away in incognito mode.

See for yourself:

I've yet to try it on my Debian Linux setup, because it's a very old
computer (13-14 years), and it limps even with the much lighter Debian
setup.

this site is wonderful, i've been meaning to check that out on my coach i'm rebuilding (very slowly) and i'm happy to report the recall was preformed on mine, but also found out the bearing sound really bad probably will need to be replaced.

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car, understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Hp is how fast you hit the wall, and torque is how far you take the wall with you when you hit it.
