Re: Clock

be very careful not to short the clockwires there is no fuse for this and you can burn up your harness and more. Would be good to hook up an in-line switch to cut current to the clock for storage periods when you don't want the battery to discharge due to the parasitic drain of the clock.

Re: Oil in brake hub

Thanx Barry, this gives me more insight. Think I'll stop by the dealer and grab some O rings. I guess a careful checking of the drive shaft oil is in order in case the leak was caused by a extra high level in the drive.

Re: Oil in brake hub

Very helpful! Since I can't find an exploded pic of the 1984 rear drive. I guess I'll drain the drive, and pull our the brake pivot shaft in order to see how many O rings there are. Dealer told me there was just one.

Re: Oil in brake hub

Thanx Tom. I quess I need to take it all apart. Can't find any good pictures to see how it's constructed. Or to be able to tell if the brake pivot shaft is exposed to the rear drive oil. I don't want to order all the gaskets and seals until I find out what I need. But I may have to.

Re: Oil in brake hub

Thanx Rob! It's really difficult for me to determine where the leak is. The only place I see oil dripping is coming out of the shaft that actuates the brake shoes. But it doesn't seem like the shaft should be exposed to oil. Can't find a picture of how that all works. If I take it apart, I guess I w...

Re: Oil in brake hub

So observing the baby powder sprayed break hub; It looks like the oil is coming out of the shaft that spreads the brake shoes to engage the shoes against the hub. I guess that would be some O ring(s) replacement. So should I be looking out changing other seals if that is the only leak. Still conside...

Re: Oil in brake hub

When I was getting oil in there it was coming through my brake pivot pin, or whatever it's called. It needed new O rings. Pretty easy fix as I remember. Looking at where the drip shows up it looks like it may very well be coming out of the pivot pin. Was there anything tricky about removing the pin...

Re: Oil in brake hub

They have Part # 3121233528 at my local dealer $40.

I guess I should investigate what Enigma found with his brake pivot pin.

Any tricks for isolating where it's coming from. It can sit dry for days.

Thank you!
