Hi,
This morning I jacked the car up and pulled the axles and center section out my stock 9" in preparation for a 31 spline Detroit truetrac/axle upgrade.
The axles and pumpkin popped right out on their out accord very easily. Probably because the rearend was rebuild when the PO restored the car 3k miles ago. Too bad he cheeped out and left the open diff when he rebuilt it with 3.70 gears, otherwise I could have left it be all together....oh well....lol
I have decide that I'm going to get a shop to install re-assemble my centre section as it seems that enough specially skills/tools are probably better left to the professionals.
Couple of questions.
Is it possible to salvage the bearing seals/retainers form my 28 spline units?
If get new 31 spline axles with seals retainers pressed on with the same style of bearing etc, can I just leave the raceways in the axles?
If the raceways have to come out what is the best way? Hi speed zip cut?
Anyone use TEN Factory Axels?
I doing a AOD to TKO600 swap and I have to swap the TKO yoke on to my existing AOD automatic drive shaft. From the reading I have do I'm not sure if I can re-use this shaft as it may be too long or to short....does anyone know?
