All,
I have gotten back into the swing of working on my truck (69 1300D SRW) alone on the weekends back at the place of employment. I pulled my rear drum/hub units to inspect/repack the wheel bearings and replace the seals. Upon removal of the driver inner bearing I noticed a substantial amount of play in the roller bearings. Much more than the one I pulled out of the passenger side. There is no visible wear on the rollers, cone or race. Can anyone confirm what is too much in terms of play between the roller bearings and the cage of the cone? Should I replace just this bearing and race? I tired to reference some pictures below:
This picture is of the offending bearing. I am trying to pry the cage of the cone upwards to feel the play in the rollers. The rollers can darn near fall out of the cage!
Another view as I am trying to force the cage upward, look at how far in the cage the rollers are!
This is the passenger that feels normal as all of the other bearings I have pulled from this truck.
