Grease retainer
I am having trouble posting a picture but my question is, does the front spindle on a V8 use the grease retainer like the rear ends that bolt on the 4 bolts?

Re: Grease retainer
The answer is yes".
Here's the stock grease retainers on a 1940 Ford. 1st photo is of the rear. 2nd photo is of the front. Both grease retainers are the same and are interchangeable. |

Re: Grease retainer
The early grease retainers appear slightly different shape than the 1940.

Re: Grease retainer
The early shields are round.
I don't believe the round shields will work with hydraulic brakes - either the '39-48 Ford or the Lincolns - due to the springs and parking brake linkages. You need the squared shape for hydraulic brakes. Do be aware that the early front backing plates used a narrower bolt pattern than the rear backing plates (either early or late). So, the later shields won't bolt-up to the early front spindles w/o slotting the mounting holes.
