Hello from New York State I have had a rear hub seal fail that caused differential to seize up after all oil leaked out then twisted off one of the axles. I replaced the diff, axles and then replaced both bearings with a sealed (permanently lubricated) assembly. The bearing I used was a NACHI 6207-2...

Hello Group I spent time reading posts but did not find an answer: My 1967 LCV has part number LP802 rims. These accept a 14" tyre but the rim width appears to be approximately 3.00 to 3.125 inches (using a crude measurement method since tyre is still mounted). When I review new tyre types avai...

Hi - This is Nick - I posted question: Thank you for your answers. I tried the various suggestions over the weekend but no success. As the time between the "last drive" and the lock up of the clutch was so short (two weeks) I think an internal mechanical failure must be the cause. I will p...
