Well, I did it...I took the rear tire off and had the "dealer" put one on my rim (23.50+2.50 for old disposal)...Glad I have her apart...the hub gears are dry and rusty...look really good, but I don't think who ever changed the last tire, didn't even use grease...!!! When I took the shocks off to change out the bushings, I noticed that the left bottom bushing insert is a thicker bushing than the right bottom bushing insert... this for a reason, right?...does it have t due with the power train and angle when going through curves...??? Oh, I will be pulling the rear and pull out the shaft...I am hoping that there is less rust and no wear...Hey when I put the tire back together, do I have to "seat" any gaskets and check them before I button everything all back together?...If do, how would I go about "seating" wheel gaskets??? Thanks...!!!
