Re: IML: Rear drum pulling made easy

[Kenyon Wills <imperialist1960@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am traveling and can't research as I should.

Read reassembly instructions CAREFULLY and COMPLETELY
before applying grease anywhere in the rear spindle
where the drum goes on.  I think that there is a
strong warning against doing this.  Further details
are yours to research.
