I just replaced my rear output pinion seal on my 72 cruiser. After replacing the parking brake assembly, I slid the drum back on the shaft, secured it with the washer and bolt. After that 8 hour ordeal, I still have a leak. This morning I took it all apart and found that I didn't have the shim that goes with the washer.
Does anyone know if the shim is the reason I still have a leak or is it something else. I retightened down the nut to torque specifications and it is still leaking. Any suggestions?
Can I use something besides the shim from a auto parts store or do I need that particular shim? Thanks for any help.
