Hi Scott,
Yes, you need a seal on both bearings - is the same for all drum brake
loops (I think 850T and V7sport models are different):
32 x 48 x 7
As for the rear wheel brakes, do you mean that the shoes are rubbing? If
so, start by comparing the arc and the touch points to the original ones
you are replacing???
That's all the help I can provide from Tampa - good luck!

Im finally getting the '74 LAPD back together whilst the family is on summer vacation in the Philippines.....(don't worry I'll get to go out and play too on the 4th for 10 days). Im putting real wheel on.... Question: is there a seal goes on either wheel bearing? I show one in parts schematic but cannot remember. Seems it would have to have a center hole only as large as axle and I dont have one or did not buy one last year when I was collecting new parts. Also, rear brakes fitting into wheel very tight. Everything appears to be compressed fully. Also, I need 4 hands and only have 2. Anyone near Norther Virgina wants to give a hand? Free beer and hamburgers! Maybe a steak if your good:)Nice area to ride to, near Middleburg. thnx scott |
