Packing rear axle bearings on a 39

Posted by jwblazek On 2019/2/11 11:27:22

While waiting for my brake rebuild parts to arrive, been cleaning and working on other components. How do you pack the rear wheel bearing without pressing it off the axle? I have inner and outer seals coming this week as well, so doing this right and completely

Looking through service letters and tools, Packard had a special tool

Also noted in service manual, to use No. 3 fibre grease, but if Packard S.T. 5100 is used, axle shaft removal is not required. What is Packard S.T. 5100

Lots of questions, sorry, but if I have to remove the rear axle, how do you keep the differential grease from coming out, stuff a rag in?
