| Rear toggle shaft bearing. No time or drawing of this so it may be out of proportion. Two small drain pipes become choked with dirt as shown. if the casting is carried on as per dotted lines and drilled with A/L hole looking backwards no tube would be necessary. We have sweated longer tubes on to existing ones. drain tube for center housing is too short and hole too near brake drum. dirt and water rebound off gask and enters hole. HBLT 76 | ||
