Don’t forget to hold the end up and wrap it in tape. That way when you pour oil down the line to lubricate the cable it goes where it’s ment to and not down your arm. It’ll stop the speedo from bouncing.

I had a gear missing before too. A bolt came out inside the gearbox, it came out when draining the oil. The bolt tightens a clamp inside, its been so long at least that's what I think happened in my case. I could look up the proper name tomorrow...

I like the sun visor. Very nice.

You have not yet removed the old inner race, it is where the race sits you have to measure. If it is as I think the case that the race spun and friction welded itself to the shaft there will be "fit" issues. This may have removed some of the...

There was just a hair of space behind what was the cone. I was able to take a solid measure, it matched Wikipedia's entry. I'll report back when machinist is done. (lathe I assume) Edit: 04-12-24, I have run out of freetime, pinion is still at...

Think the bearing race be really hard need a good bit in lathe , nice if he had a machine to grind it off

Thanks, I don't know anything about speedy sleeves, I wonder if there is a limit on the length. Ill post what the pinion looks like today before going to machine shop. According to wikipedia and Timken the diameter is the same. 1.6250" (Dana 60...

Failed- My 20 ton press broke, so took to friends shop, his 80 ton could not do it either. Its like its fused on there. Might have to put it on a lathe is my guess. Just peel it off. I applied heat on it as well. Edit: Friends was 50 ton press...

Its a V8 (well it says it is) what's not to like:) Its got a number plate so Shirley its legal ;). J

Thanks, the little jerk will be off tomorrow. I see the delivery guy closing in on my home. Ill have pictures of the tool I bought and how easily the little twirp slides off with the right tool. (wether permitting) lol

Still waiting for the tool I bought on fleabay to pull the race off the pinion. As I am running out of freetime for the future and I tried to use a dremmel with a cutting wheel and grind a channel through it. Worked on this for some time today...

Decided I'm going to clean out the axle tube tomorrow while I'm waiting for one last item. I'm a bit shocked at the amount of metal flakes and perhaps rust inside. I think Ill be on the road again in a week :-)

update, I just got the diff spreader a couple days ago, glad I bought it as I still had to pry it out after wrenching a fair bit with the spreader. Another tool I am glad I had was a long solid small dia metal pipe to push out the bearing seats...

Just a update, the parts I ordered are starting to trickle in. Just waiting for a reasonably priced Dana 60 spreader I found on fleabay, decided not to use the prybar method and go by the book. I don't have a drill press at the moment or the...
