Uhhh, Kelvin, you kinda got carried away! 'Tain't necessary to pull
EVERYTHING to install Manny Brakes! :-)
We'll be starting on mine this afternoon but not going down any further
than the spindles.
How are your pins & bushings? I'm almost afraid to check mine. I did a
poor job of replacing them in '98 and they've had lots of chance to wear
since then.

Thanks, are the hubcaps 2 piece, with a inner cage that bolts on under the
lug-nuts and the hub cap fits over that cage?

The wheels? They're just 16.5" radial wheels.
Or are you talking about the wheel covers? I have that info somewhere...

Well... three piece, if you count the cover itself. But yes... the hub
cap snaps over a cage in the middle.
I actually drilled and tapped the wheels for a couple 10-32 screws to
hold main cover and cage centered on the wheel. Trying to install all
the pieces using just the lug nuts was less than fun. Easy to get the
covers off-center and then your wheels "wobble" as you go down the road.
