So, since OSCAR is canceled and I ran out of easy things to do to the Renegade last weekend I started disassembling the 8274 mainly to clean it up and reseal everything. So far all of the bearings and internals look fine. The brake assembly is giving me a fit getting it off...but I have it soaking with some penetrating oil on top of it now.
Now to why I started a thread... I know several of you have pulled one down to service, clean, rebuild...etc. and there are plenty of articles out there. But, what do you recommend while it's apart? Replace bearings anyway? Only replace seals? What about tapping for a retainer on the brake assembly? Best place to source rebuild parts?
