    I just finished replacing the front brakes on my 64 e100 and was Just wondering if any knows if there are supposed dust covers on the front axle nuts.

    If you are talking about the nuts with the cotter pins in them, then they need dust caps and grease in them to protect the wheel bearings,,,,,,

    You finished the brake job and you can still see the nut and hopefully the cotter pin to keep the nut on? There are metal covers. Hubcaps are not dust covers.

    The van didn't have any, looks like we'll have to find some. I assume the parts store has them. Thanks for the replies.
