Good morning. After rust remediation and paint, I'm going to start re-assembling my early Salisbury axle (drum brakes, brake lines, bearings & seals). I've never done this before. Only discs, pads and lines on a 635CSI and front discs/pads 540i. The early hubs do not have outer seals. I'll need to ask advice on the process, best practices, and lubricants. I've reviewed the manual specific to my truck ('84 110) and watched a few videos. Any comprehensive procedures or video links would be great.
Currently, I'm putting together my parts list. Most will come from Roversnorth. What parts should I replace with new or reuse? Genuine or equivalent quality OEM? I don't want to replace any original parts if they are serviceable. Currently, I have brake backing plates on order. This is what I'm thinking (lists exclude the diff/pinion part, that comes later):
REUSE:
Drums (If they are still serviceable, if not, use Genuine)
Locknuts (Genuine are $20 per)
Key washers
Circlips
Hubs
Oil catchers
Springs (not sure here)
Brake shoes (if they are not glazed , Pro-line if replaced)
GENUINE:
Joint washers
Oil Seals (RTC3511)
Lockers
Bolts, nuts, spilt washers & screws
Wheel cylinders (+bleed screws, hardware)
Hub caps
Drums (if not serviceable)
Aftermarket / OEM:
Bearings (If I can locate the equivalent Timken part # or if Pro-line)
Brake shoes (Pro-line if the existing ones are shot, Genuine ones are really, really expensive)
Thanks everyone...
