Now that the temps here are cooling down, I changed lube oil and filter. Didn't see any oil drain plug gasket, not in drain pan. I used teflon tape on plug. Hope it doesn't leak. Will do trans and fuel filters next. View attachment 934015
I didn't have a filter wrench big enough for the lube oil filter so I used my belt. Worked great. Belt on oil filter.jpg

I started regreasing the wheel bearings on my1967 M52A2 it has been just over 10 years for this wheel and at the time this wheel cylinder was new I took the cylinder apart a cleaned it in soapy water and honed the cylinder on the truck and let it dry then put it back together .
