Just an update, I used a hammer and center punch to remove the seal. It is definitely in bad shape and brittle. Ordered a new seal today, so we'll see what happens.

Good point. I’ll have to watch for that.

Good info... Thanks.

I love the way mine runs. The steering is so easy. The bearing looks good but definitely seems to be leaking at that spot. When the bearing and the shaft is in my hands, you can feel the shaft is worn a bit when sliding on the bearing. I know there is some kind of o-ring/gasket in there...

another question, why are the TRW pumps replaced? I’m guessing because they leak.

I have a 68 Fury 3 with a 383 and TRW steering pump that likes to leak. I just rebuilt it by replacing the two o-rings that stop the unit from leaking but it’s leaking more now. I’ll try to rebuild it again today and replace all the orings. If that doesn’t work again, can I get a Federal style...

Ok...I see what you mean. Like this idea then buying another drum or part. Thanks. I'll let you know. Thanks for all your help and time.

Oh yea...you're right. I'll compare the good/original/other hub to the Wagner hub. But I will be comparing original hub to a after market one. Looks like I'll be buying another hub or drum. My mistake, I meant to say impact wrench not torque wrench. To crack/break the hub and drum, I'm...

Yes... there is about 1/16th of a difference. When I was looking, a few weeks ago, I couldn't find the measurements on sellers websites, so looks like have to buy and hope for the best. Let me see if i can describe how I measured the drum. First measure the depth of the part of the drum...

JustCarbs, Thanks for the help. I like the idea of spinning one wheel to grind the other, but I'm dealing with the front wheels. Think I'm stuck with buying another 3inch drum and hoping for the best. I'll definitely check on their return policy before buying

Thanks... Looks just like mine.

I put paint on the plate to see where it’s rubbing

The mark is the edge of plate where it turns into the drum. It rubs on the plate where it turns into the drum.

Thanks for the help. I'll look tonight and see what pics I can get and I'll double check for contact marks.

How do I tell if I have 2.75 or 3in backing plates? And I do want to think everyone for helping with this issue and generally helping everyone helping everyone else. I don't know where I'd be without some help.

Could the bearings, that came with the hub, be wrong? I had to install the bearings myself and they seem to fit fine. Not toooo easy to bang them in but they are snug.

Any idea why the drum would rub against the backing plate with the 2nd hub but didn’t rub with the hub was on the car when I bought it? Both hubs had part number D70589. I can see wear marks on the backing plate and in brake drum. Any idea why the drum would rub against the backing plate with...

Thanks. I'm going to look over what I have currently. Thanks for all your help.

The Carlisle show in July? Thanks but kinda long to wait but I'm thinking of make the trip to see other mopars and maybe get some parts.

It's the drums now. If I put the drum on finger tight, loosen the bolts about 1/16th and pull the drum back, it turns without rubbing/grinding on backing plate.
