You might use it as an interim spare, but I don't see any way it can run true on the front and it can certainly cause a dual application to bend, not run true, may damage the other dual rim, and most importantly, they could come loose with disastrous results.

In the past I always cleaned up spring leaves by taking them apart and running a hand grinder on both sides of the leaves. It was messy, dusty, and I think it did not do a very satisfactory job.

I have not tested the high temp grease over the long haul, but I can tell you that I was really disappointed in the performance of the wheel bearing grease I used when I last had the brakes apart 40 years ago.

I suspect checking the end play will be done before the hubs are ins...

Dave, thanks for the pictures; they are great. Truth be told, I have been inside each of them 35 to 40 years ago, back when I didn't yet know what I didn't know. Now that I know the value of information, I have a ton of questions like: How many housing lengths and axle shaft lengths are there and wh...
