Larry,
You remember last time all the trouble you got in by speaking the truth? Better be careful, some folks don't like the truth.
I realize that, but for the benefit of those that might be misled I sometimes think the effort is worth the trouble.
OH, and another note, if you don't chamfer the hole where the grease comes out at the seal in the rear, you stand a good chance of nicking the seal lip when you put the drum back on. Ask me how I know. A little fine emery cloth goes a long way.
WOW never considered that and THANKS I'll try and remember that for the next service. I just did my bearings and I broke one adjusting spring and ruined a set of shoes and drum and for only $60/wheel I upgraded to the self adjusting brakes by buying the complete assembly ... backing plate, shoes, magnet, all new hardware at my local RV Dealer.
