All right,
I read through the Service manual and on my 1949 Champion I need to replace the Inner Axle seal "behind the bearing". It says one you get the axle stripped to the bearing to use a puller and just pull the axle out? It says nothing about removing the Diff cover ect. Is this right? Can I just pop the axle shaft out without removing the diff cover and doing anything inside the diff? Isn't there a washer on the axle shaft inside the diff housing? When I look at SI's catalog to order the seals there is a thrust washer on the gear side of the axle.
Wait, ok the Gear assemblies are inside the carrier right? So the axle gears are held in place by the carrier so the axle can come out with out issues?
I sure wish I wouldn't had gotten ahead of my self and painted the axle
dang it!
