Well most of you will remember my truck was below grade for a few months.
Well I got out Saturday to check the wheel bearings before the LA Rally...

 

[6X6 ALL THE WAY]

makes me want to go check mine now. more work

Not nice to bury your truck!

 

[Varyag]

Did you change the oil in the diff? How does that much crap actually squeeze itself in there. It is like the drum wasn't even there.

Had several failed attempts to get it out, as well as it raining several times. As stated before, the wheels were almost completely below grade, so the silt/mud filled in all open spaces as it filled in the hole.

Checking the diff oil tomorrow.

I wonder if any mud got in around the flywheel?

 

[Heavysteven]

I would buy ten cans of break cleaner, replace the seals, boots, repack the bearings, and change the gear oil call it a day.

Good photo's thanks for sharing

So the frunnel is now closed for business? I'm betting that th eprice of Chinese goods will now go up as shipping costs went through the roof now that your access is closed.

Hmmm....all the more reason to never let my old girl leave the pavement. Great posting though! Let us know how it goes

I don't mean to sound pesitmistic but I would plan on bearings & outer races too if you moved it very far with that "stuff" in there.
If the bearing rollers have any rust they will fail on the road or worse, down the road.

Why wouldn't you use a pressure washer to clean the dirt then replace seals, boots, and repack everything?
