Whoops, of course the broom handle trick only works if you've removed the
carrier. :-)

I wouldn't heat the axle tube to remove it.
You can use a slide hammer to pull it out, or get a long rod (like a broom
handle), insert it into the opposite axle tube, and set it up against the
bearing on the side you want to remove from. Then smack it with a
big hammer a few times. it'll come right out.
The bearings on the carrier must be pressed off/on.
Be wary of the T5, they're known for breaking. TTC only rates
them for V6 applications.
good luck,

Hi
guys, I'm going to put a
T-5 this winter I think, does anybody know I have to shorten the driveshaft,
I have a muncie 4spd now. If
somebody have a T-5 laying around I would like to know the lenght from
the mounting face to the bellhousingto the end of the trans.
how do you guys change the axle bearing
in the rear end?I just heat the end of the rear with the torch so it expands,
but which tool do you use?I used to borrow a tool from a friend in Norway,
I dont know the name but we used to call it, well..... a wanker,
I cant borrow it anymore (1600 miles away), have some of you had success
using other tools ? Thanks
! Kind Regards André

Also I would like to know, Can you
just put a SS Grille on a malibu? or does there need to be some mods?
thanks. This 1968 Chevelle SS clone - the only thing wrong is that
it has a malibu grille.

ok, heres the story. The motor
came out of a 1966 Chevelle SS, as far as I know. it is supposely
the 375 hp version. We just visited him today (I said we were going
to yesterday, but he had plans) and we looked at the car, he put it up
on the lift, and it had paint chips all under it. I concluded that
it was 8 - 9 grand. But didn't say nothing, except to my dad, and
he agreed with me (remember, the guy is asking 11,500). We took it
out for a ride, and it felt very smooth, he said it has gas shocks, and
I forget what company it was. There is a guy coming from ohio to
look at it. my dad offered him 8500, and Shawn (the chevelle owner)
said that after this guy from ohio, if he does not buy it, he will look
to us. also, we found out from inside sources that Sean needs money
BAD - I mean BAD! So I have a feeling that if the ohio guy doesn't
buy it, we will. This car will be my daily driver. :-)
Sorry, My mom's digital camera is at her work, and she just recently had
surgery, so it will not be 2 weeks until we get pictures - that is, if
we get the car. Also, If you didn't know, this is a malibu converted
to a SS. Also, the tranny is a TH400R. How good of a transmission
are they? I'll keep you updated on the car. :-)

Chad :
tell us what motor it is?
Also why don't you take some pictures of this "68 chevelle" that you found.
I'm sure most of the list would like to see it.
