made my own way to take apart things without having the Packard tools. that was fun, i like problem solving.

Max sent wrong end plate for driveshaft....but they are sending correct one and it is here already as of this edit.

trying to get that pin out was a HUGE PITA!!! you ahve NO idea!

driveshaft done. found out that the lock nuts go on the bolt side, not nut side via stb....i wondered about that cause it looked weird, but that was the way i took it off, so it was wrong at some point in its life.

piston lip seal was hard as a brick. new one is much better.

one of the pins for the gear set was all jacked up....probably why my ring gear was messed up too. so i stole one from the other trans and cleaned it as good as i could. actually the old trans has helped out quite a bit with this new one. LOL! thank goodness for spare parts.

made my own piece that goes on the rear u-joint out of a hose clamp i had laying around. cut it, split it and then ground it down to fit perfect and bent the ends to fit. perfect!

cleaned a bunch of parts up really good too.

enjoy the pics it took forever to load them up.

painted the frame number back on the car. it was time consuming and it isn't perfect, but it will do.
