I'm sorting through some drive line and braking issues on the Coronet. How much resistance should there be turning the rear axle with the car in neutral? It's a 727 with a Dynamics 3000 stall converter; 8 3/4 rear with an Auburn LSD housing 3.55 gears. Rear axle's have been converted to green style bearings.
With the rear wheels and drums removed (to eliminate brake resistance) and the trans in neutral, it is rather difficult to rotate the axle at the studs. I know I'm losing leverage without the tire on, but I'm a big guy so I wouldn't think it would be that difficult. Feels like a lot of horsepower just to turn the axle.
