Attempted tightening pinion nut again today, bent my breaker bar and then the socket side made a pop sound. It spread apart exposing what I assume is the broken pin. I don't foresee me getting this thing any tighter. Fluid was flowing out the original seal, so I saw it as a needed repair. Bummer.

Did you get it back to where it was originally? Or even close to 240?

Car is up on ramps. I tried a pipe wrench on the yoke against the floor, the breaker bar with a pipe on the end, put the jack under the pipe and slowly pumped the jack. Nut didn't budge, car started to rise.

Just changed my seal. Marked the yoke, pinion, and nut with a paint pen. I figure there's a margin of error, under the car, dirty. Came off fairly easy with a 90psi gun. Back together, pipe wrench on yoke rock steady, can't get it back to my so called mark. Turned up the psi to 100+, worked...

No, with what exactly? I saw the torque spec in the fsm, which my torque wrench doesn't come close to, but not the assembly procedure.

I marked the yoke, pinion, and nut with a paint pen. I figure there's a margin of error as I'm doing this under the car, it's dirty, and I cleaned up the yoke and nut, but I smacked the nut with a chisel before cleaning it. Large pipe wrench on the yoke, it came off fairly easy with my weak...

So the 15x8 4.25 bs with the L-60 MT just fits, but they're dry rotted. Plan was to get 275/60s, but when I tried the 15x8 4.5 bs 275/60s off my Dart the space between the tire and the quarter/lip are the exact same. The 275/60 is more rounded, and basically the equivalent of the MT, although...

Not this time. The rearend had everything done, soup to nuts, bearings, seals, brakes, 4:10, springs, and I drove it last year in the 2 door hardtop. I swapped the center section, put new wagon springs on it, and slid it under the wagon. Everything looked as good as new, seals, bearings/races...

1964 Fury wagon.

I do not have a dial indicator, I've read some adjust by feel, or tighten the adjuster and back it off slowly until they have play. Is this method acceptable? If not, can I put this all back together and at least move the car? I'm going to torture myself more by attempting to replace the...

I wish I had made that set up and done this before installing the center section. Still can't believe the inner splines came out of alignment just from removing a center section, setting it down, cleaning it off, and putting it in another housing.

It was a late night. After swapping both axles and somehow they fit, I removed them to place back in the correct sides. Somehow I managed to mess it up and now the driver side would not go in all the way. Socket on the pinion nut, lug nuts on the wheel studs, I tried the 'align the inner...

This rear was fully redone, assembled, and I drove it for a year in another car. Removed it, swapped a different center section into it.

I don't have any play because the passenger axle will not go in all the way. I tried this earlier, put a block on a jack under the yoke. I did not use a 2-3 foot bar, just a small pry bar. Curious what it would take to misalign the inner splines? This thing was taken out, set down on a dolly...

I do not know, is there a way to test that, without it falling out inside and ruining my week? I took the 2:76 center out, set it aside, put it in this housing. Making sure the thrust button stayed as is the entire, short, time.

Tried that, my understanding is that's a 741 thing. Got it to go in more towards the end of the video, but something is wrong.

I did, 4 times, in the video.

So, it's established that I'm an idiot, that said, I get what to do, I think, but my reality is not as simple and I'm confused because something is messed up and, more importantly, I need to understand the axle end play process. Searched the interweb, and here, and the fsm, unable to find what...

I've never been able to get a trans out without taking the shifter out completely. Not enough room to pull the trans away from the bellhousing, or even spin the trans over to get the shifter in a different position. Not even with the engine at an angle. These later b-bodies must have all sorts...
