“Gravely” was an understatement. Hasn’t been grease in here in a while. 13 balls per side. A dust cap that didn’t want to come off. Quite a bit of wire brushing ahead. Not sure the outside (cone side) is salvageable. But once I get some rust off I’ll be able to see what the races look like. Any cleaning suggestions?

the inside doesn’t look half bad. Still smooth and bare metal.



Dust cap did NOT want to pry off.

Metal flakes were falling out already.

13 each side

Cone. Might clean up. Suggestions?
