Here is my drive flange, matches my old axle... | This is how the splines are supposed to look | A couple of FMC vet's came to my rescue and delivered this beautiful axle!! Thank you | This isn't the hood that came with this Jeep. I've been storing this hood for 20? years or so. It was on another jeep I had. I sold the jeep but kept the hood. The new owner of that jeep new nothing about this hood, I couldn't let it go. I used it as shop art for some years, then it went into storage, the funny thing is, my new jeep is almost the same color blue, both had chevy 327's |
1953 cj3b. 1963 Corvette 327, with a 1968 Mustang GT top-loader 4-speed. Should haul a$$! Was originally built in the early 70's as sand dragger. It had been setting for the last 7-10 years before I bought it. Someone added a winch and some poorly designed power steering, I think it was used to pull logs around the property and drive through mud holes up in WA state.... | This is the reason I haven't been working on 324 as much as I would like to...I'm putting disk brakes on it, the rear is done. | After I pulled the yoke off, I could see the beautiful clean blue in color (probably synthetic) grease inside the axle cavity, I honestly did not want to tear it apart, the bearings were clearly lubed perfectly, BUT I had to see the drive flange end of the axle. Yes, I could have just pulled the drive flange off and inspected, but if you are just planning on servicing stub axle bearings, removing the drive flange is unnecessary. | |
You can clearly see the worn teeth. This axle could have gone another 20k miles?? I don't know? But it's not going back into the FMC I'm driving. I will keep it as an emergency spare. | The yoke nut was loose, but that wasn't the issue, the axle's forward/backward rotational movement was between the drive flange and axle splines. | I've done a couple stub axle jobs, and until now, I fought getting the internal snap rings out because I didn't have the correct tool. I purchased these Knipex 44 11 J3 40-100mm internal snap ring pliers and life is beautiful. | stub axle snap ring |
