Re: [T3] rear wheel clicks

	Ok, so I pulled out the cotter pin and tried first to tighten 
the axle nut.  (I stood on my breaker bar, without bouncing, at about 
a foot away from center.)  It didn't tighten.

	I removed the nut -- took a bit of effort -- and pulled off 
the wheel & drum & hub as a unit.  I had a beat-up hub on my '71 
once, and know what that looks like; the splines on my '69 tonight 
look great to my eye.

	I grabbed the axle and moved it forward and backward as well 
as in and out; you can see/hear it here:

Seems like a good deal too much movement/noise, eh?  Time for new 
bearings, I guess?  If so, should I do both wheels just for good 
measure?

	Keith -- the car now has like 72 or 73k miles.  I got it at 
54,000.  So, no, looks like I missed that maintenance. :(
