Re: Resurrecting a 1951 Henney-Packard Parts Car

A little more progress today. The ultrasonic cleaner arrived along with some ultrasonic carburetor cleaning solution so I gave it s try on one of the pieces. It didn't come out shiny as I had hoped but it is definitely clean.
Also in the box was the snap ring pliers which did the job perfectly on the transmission. I'm not sure how to remove the output shaft itself but I'll have a look at the manual to try to sort it out. I thought that it would come out with the housing but apparently not. The planetary ring gear does not seem move with slight prying or tapping but I wanted to look at the manual before trying too hard. The housing isn't heavy but chaining it to the lift freed up a hand as it takes two to get it off and the lift allowed me to take some of the weight off of it.
It was quite a struggle to get the parking brake equalizer from the Patrician parts car but I finally cleared enough space to work on it and had to get it higher to be able to get underneath, It is now installed where it needs to be which took all of five seconds. Of course, I need to clean it up a little more and run a thread chaser on the threads before actually installing it. The little cable sheath clamps, one on either side at the frame, were another matter and wouldn't budge so are soaking again in PBlaster.
