Topic: Rear end pinion


flathead48    -- 12-29-2023 @ 11:06 AM
  Pulled the rear apart on my 48 to replace right side axle, I left center in car & hooked to torque tube, I did check for end play, did not measure because I believe there should be none. I have not pulled center section out yet but was hoping to get some ideas on possible cause.

Thanks, Happy New Year

Also was wondering if anyone has replaced the pinion pilot bearing retainer since it is rivet in thanks

  What are you working on, a 1948 car or a truck? What was wrong with the axle that made you tear it apart?

  Working on a car, the threads were wiped out , axle could not be saved. Was also wondering if any one has ever replaced the pinion pilot bearing retainer, it is riveted on .
