... did someone in the community knows how to bring this wheel carrier lockhandle back in work? There was no key for and I dont know it will work .. but I soacked it in with special solvent for the last 1 1/2 years. Is there a specialist who can make a key only by this number which is printet on top of the zylinder (P535). I need also an "original" ignition key .. the one i got .. is cutted out to fit into the slot .. additional I?m looking for a picture and informations about the original "cut out relay" for the generator and who can deliver this maybe as a rebuild one which looks like the original.

The Company gave me an offer for 10 pcs. of the short an long ones. The price goes down to 40? incl. tax. per bearing.

Hi Packard Friends,
a special thankyou to DavidM from Australia. He send me a picture of a bearingbox from exact this bearing "made in germany". The Company doesnt exist anymore but I found the company who take over the production of this kind of bearings. They build a single piece for me. It costs 100? (115 USD).

thanks guys for your informations... by the way ... I made a mistake ... the diameter inside the Clutchshaft is not 33,15mm !! The correct messurement is 38,15mm =(1,50 ")

After disassembling the transmission I?ve to realize that the last "Restorer" dont installed one of the most importand bearings ... the driveshaft front bearing is complete missing !!!!!!!! not broken or pieces into the oilswamp .. just missing !!!
Maybe anybody knows if this piece is still available in the old style or a newer construction and can give me the correct designation in US inch. The measurement was ... inside the Clutchshaft 33,15 mm (1,305 ") ..diameter of drivinbshaft 25,38 mm ( 1" ) lenght .. roundabout 2 ". The Partsnummer of Packards Parts-List is 124 354.

I got the same idea .... to release all springs and pull the clutch disc parts off. I used my valve spring tool with a little extra piece to take the snap ring out. After this procedure I could push back the rear clutch plate to make space for my "home made" spider wheel puller. First try ..
goes wrong .. to weak threadet rod. With stronger Bolts (10.9) a standart pullingtool and a impact wrench ... the spiderwheel came off with a big bang. Now its easy to remove the shaft
where the forke for the relase bearing sit on .. I THINK .... but I cant push the shaft out. I take out the srew which hold the fork in place. But the fork sit strong at the shaft and I cant take out the slot wedge bacause the shaft moved only 1 or 2 inch to the left or to the right side if I try to beat it out with a coppershaft. Than .. the slot wedge/Fork hit the housing.
How this works ....?
