Top picture isn’t good but it shows galling on the outer bearing shaft surface, it’s the one that didn’t want to come off and had to drop it on its nose a bunch of times to get the hub off. Took about an hour to carefully polish it down with Emory cloth to get the bearing to slide on. Sometime in the passed it appears hat it did something that caused the bearing to gall on the shaft.
Got all the hard parts cleaned up and painted, some more of the rebuild parts should show up tomorrow.
 
Are you using something like por25 or ospho before the paint? Stuff works!

Didn’t go that far, just wire wheel, some brake cleaner and rattle can black, the truck is 33 years old and after cleaning the grease and grime, they still had a lot of the original paint on them, you get rain there in in the SJ valley but no snow, things stay pretty clean under there.
