Hi all,
Next question. The ingress of grease to the rear brakes seemed (at least in part) to be due to the fact that the back side of the hub rubbed on the rubber seals of the wheel cylinder, ripping them.
I have renewed all the seals, bearings etc., but as I reassemble, it seems to want to do the same thing. There doesn't seem to be anything stopping the hub from moving inward and ripping the seals. See pic below.
I don't seem to be missing any spacers or anything, as per my manual. What's my issue, here? And/or does the drum itself hold the hub out far enough? The DPO had torqued the hub nuts down WAY too hard, deforming the washers, so that may accoung for a couple of mm... but the picture below is with correctly-installed washer, and there is still interference.
I suppose the question is, what is it that locates the axle, on its lateral axis?
