Super, WELCOME BACK !! I was wondering with great concern about why we saw no posts from you. You have been a tremendous help for me and others.

Bob,I hope that you asked for genuine Ford bearings. Good to see you back. We all missed your sage advice.

Bob, glad to see you back. Every now and then us seniors need some new parts. Just got a new sealed beam after they removed the cataract.

Many thanks, Steve, and to all who have written and/or emailed. As I enter my 80th year, one of my hips called it a day. I have a shiny new one, but couldn't get one with a grease fitting!

Sorry for the multiple responses. I've been off line for about a month to recuperate from some surgery, so I've lost my light touch to post.

When filling the transmission or rear end, just add oil until in reaches the bottom of the filler hole. This helps prevent the usual puddle under the car from overfilling.

Thanks guys. Need new progressive glasses prescription I guess - after reading your responses I went back to the Shop Manual and it does, in fact, say '2.75 pts', not 'qts'. Bad case of old eyes &/or Sunday morning dyslexia. Appreciate you both weighing in supportively. Yep - I had just driven the car this morning before draining and it was very warm and was also allowed to drain for 2 hours, so the very approximate extra two ounces drained likely came off the gearing and bearings as you suggest Tom. Probably lost 1+ ounces back out the hole after pumping/refilling before I removed the hose and fumbled the plug back into the fill hole as well. Thanks again - Steve
