[Mgs] I'm home, so the repair list starts

[Paul Hunt]

The rears are very different.

I'm assuming you have the later tube/Salisbury axle in your 75.  These have 
a single ball bearing on the outer end of the half-shaft (plus another on 
the inner end in the diff).  When these are on the way out they usually emit 
a rhythmic rumble, rather than a squeak, as they run in diff oil.  They 
rarely fail, and should be left alone unless they have.  The oil seals can 
leak, but can be changed independently of the bearing, as can the sleeve the 
oil seal runs on.  Ask if you need to know the various techniques for 
getting at the oil seal and bearing.

Cheers,
PaulH.
