Well, I dedicated a few hours to my 63 Wag today, I fully disassembly all the right hub, cleaned it up with gas (I believe I found a small piece of metal) and reassembled it with new grease, on the table. I didn't put it on the truck. It took me 2 hours of detailed metal file work and some other inventions to rebuild part of the cylindrical nut threads, deformed by the chisel work, mine and the past made by others. Tomorrow I'll go to a friend's shop and ask him to make a tool for me so I can leave the cold chisel apart and not continue to destroy the "fine" nut. It'll be a cylinder with 2 small bolt that will fit on the nut holes (not the screw's ones). I'll also try to find a used 53mm socket so I don't have to chisel the back big nut again, I don't think I'll success on this mission, I'll also find out how much a new one costs.... [?] As soon as I get all the tools or a better method of working out the hub (I'll call superman, batman or any other super hero) I'll disassembly the left side and check it in far less time. I'll fill a new report when I have news..... Ernie, out.
