If you go to experts and don't take there advice what is the use of going to them. The only thing I question is $80 to paint that might just be tip for guys that do the work.

Main thing is for you to be happy and your wife to be happy so you can stay happy!

Tip I use shaft protector on end of axle shaft to prevent damage to thread or the center thats machined on end of axle. Protectors can be purchased from McMaster-Carr under item 6268K33 about $9.00 .We were required to leave nut on shaft near end to prevent the part being pulled flying off and causing injury. The use of shaft center protectors were required to be used when pulling couplings or bearings from shafts Safety first for the part and people also is important with our hobby

You said you have 57 Packard for sale would it be possible for me to see it in person from your reply to Randy you are located in Ohio ? If possible contact me at ackish@comcast.net I'm able to be avaiable almost any time being retired
