Wifey drove my 73 1600 about 10 miles with the emergency brake on :hypno:
The inside of the brake drum is now blue, the brake shoes are cracked, and the left axle seal is leaking :hypno:
Questions...
1) I looked at the service manual. It looks like it is not too hard to pull the axle & change the axle seal. Any BTDT (been there done that) advice?
2) The car has about 62,000 miles and I have already changed the rear axle fluid twice. Do you think I should change the outer axle bearings at the same time? Do you think the heat effcted the bearings?
3) If I turn the brake drum that has the metal turned blue, do you think it will be good?
4) I will change the wheel cylinders, shoes, & springs. I think you would agree.
