Re: Rear Axle Bearing Cups

I am resuing all the original parts. Remember this car sat outside, and bascially abandoned since 1986, and I have no previous history on it. So that is why I am going through everything thing. I have no idea what was, or was not done previously to it.

The reason I want to check the end play is that the rear axle had 3 shims of different thickness on one side, and a single shim on the other side. So I just want to verify things to make sure any previous unknown repair work was not screwed up.

Based on the feedback here and via email I think I have the proceedure down now.

Thanks.
