I was a mechanic in the Marines, and changed a million wheel seals with a dolly. You're right, it makes the job ten times faster. I could do two LVS in one day, and that's 16 seals total, and full PM on each unit. Man I'm going to try that mudflap idea. I don't know if I can justify a wheel dolly with just one truck. But pulling the tires to change a wheel seal just feels...wrong after all those I changed in the past with a dolly.

 

I use a 12 inch wide by 4 feet long sheet of steel that we have.

Smear a little smelly oil on, the duals slide off easily.

We also do have a dolly. I prefer the dolly method than having to get grease or oil on my clothes from sliding duals

 

Sigh..... just my luck.... off to the suspension shop....



After a day of repairs at the suspension shop, new bushings and a new spring pack, the truck drives much better now.

The regulator isn’t working right which causes a tremendous power surge.

Voltage goes from 575 volts, up past the maximum range on the gauge 700+!
