Thanks Brett (and Mark),
It is always nice to have a more clearly defined target when shimmying around under the coach... ^.^d

Don,

The axle model and serial number should be on the front middle of axle-- on a small plate.

 Just finished installing the first (leaker) seal today. I have learned a ton in my research and it all went pretty smoothly. The next one will be either tomorrow or during the week. I will take some pictures of the other side while being done. Would there be any interest in my making a repairing a leaking wheel seal post with pictures and info? I used Stemco Voyager seals and a Stemco Pro-Torq axle nut. Got the adjustment down to 3 thousands. Installed helper springs and cleaned the oily pad. It was not too bad at all. I wanted to say thanks for all the input especially Stump.

Mark, speaking for myself I would appreciate the post.  While I have done plenty of axle seals, not with air disc.  Nice to know what to expect when the time comes.

The pads I would think should be solvent cleanable. Metallic compound?
I think the pad/rotor friction will virtually vaporize some petroleum that got on the brake

Mark,
  Most of us who have written these kind of follow-up's know it is time consuming. I think most of the members appreciate them, I know I certainly do. 
Post away when you get the time.
Thanks

my personal x foretravel dealer chassis mechanic for many years preloads the front  wheel bearings. 

my old Honda dirt bikes steering head roller bearings had a 22 foot pounds torque spec on preload in the manual.

if the .003 adjustment results in any steering wander or "dead" spot in the driving I would hope you would post your results here.

I will post any problems with steering wander if noted,Bob.  Jerry and Rick, I will do a write up with some pictures in a week or so. I have to do the other side. That is when I will take more detailed pictures.

Just received some slide pins I ordered today. I got them off of ebay for a pretty good price if anyone is looking for some. They are part number KIT15016. He still has 5 left.

I guess that was a good deal. I posted the pins here a few hours ago and they are all gone now. Cool..

I would very much so appreciate posting a DIY on how to do this.  I'll stop by your house to do mine on my way north in May :-P    8)  Just kidding I'm probably going to go to the local International dealer to have it done.
