Maybe the brake cylinders anyway...... Hate to see them leak and ruin the new
shoes.... Especially if you don't know how old they are.

Subject: [Mgs] Floating axle hub seals leaking
While investigating the rear brakes on my new to me '78 B, I discovered
that
the rear castle nuts are loose (finger tight would be an
overstatement...)
and that oil has leaked out onto the shoes.
One of the screws holding the
drum on was missing, two were stripped so
badly that if they had been
tightened at all then I would have had to
drill them out and the last screw
as damaged, though much less. One
rebound strap is also torn out.
The drums
look like they are in good shape and the brake pistons expand
without issue.
I am expecting to replace the seals, the drum screws, the shoes and the
rebound straps. I am also considering doing the rear bearing since I am
in
there anyway. Anything else I should do while I have it open?
