Hello everyone. Subsequent to my last post I purchased the manual and have been going through the brakes on my '73 SWB Series 3.
I have taken the drums and shoes off the wheels and noted a lot of oil lining the shoes and the entire area that would be enclosed by the drums. My initial thought was that the wheel cylinders were bad and need replaced. However, I read a couple posts on this site about hub seal leaks and am now wondering if that is the culprit.
My question is how do I distinguish between the wheel cylinders vs the hub seal in fixing this? Should i just replace both? I included a few pictures hoping someone may be able to point me in the right direction. I appreciate any suggestions!
