    Rear hub axle seal

    Question: After hand greasing the rear wheel bearings, how deep is the new seal supposed to go? Should it only go in far enough so the retainer clip goes back in, or should it be pressed up against the bearing? As usual, the mechanic books don't explain.....:confused:

If it's stove blacking, I'd...

Looking at Andrews & other sources for disassembly instructions, I was scared off by all the comments of "excessive force required" & "special tools required". But with the price...

    Newbie need help - Motor Mount Removal

    Greetings, My first posting, so bear with. I'm trying to remove the front motor mount on my '29 Tudor. According to Les Andrews, this is possible without removing the engine. His instructions are clear and all went well until I tried to remove the yoke. It doesn't seem possible without...
