somewhere.
Kind Regards

bearing
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

Redline - the max? 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.

Redline - the max? 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.
:-)

Redline - the max? 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.
