Hi all.

I have been told by an [ex] diesel mechanic friend that the rear hub(s) on
the m35 are basically the same as what Mack used (w/ Rockwell axles) to use
and I can knock out the inner dust seal off the spindle and press in a new
lip-type oil seal in the hub and it will seal against the machined surface
of the spindle (where the original dust seal was). Then, make sure to
remove the outer oil seal and make sure that there is oil in the hub and
oil to the bottom of the axle/diff. fill pug and voila!... oil bathed
bearings in the hub.

I would be very interested in hearing some comments on this.

Thanks.

-Kirk
