Oh awesome! I wish I had a good inline six for a daily. One of these days.

Awesome thanks Harold! I'll check out your videos of your car!

Oh nice. Glad I could help out. Ya you got to watch out for those experts 🤣

That sounds awesome! You're very welcome.

Oh awesome! Glad it was helpful.

Awesome thank you!

Oh awesome! Glad I could help!

Oh cool thank you!

Oh ya it's not too bad.

That sounds like an awesome project! Glad these videos were helpful!

Oh awesome, glad I could help.

You're very welcome!

Oh cool thank you. I'm assuming you have the 8.8 differential? If that is the case, those axles don't come out the same way as the 8". They have retainer clips inside so you have to pull the cover off to access.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You're very welcome

Very cool, glad you found it helpful!

Oh awesome thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you sir!

Thank you! And you're welcome!

Thank you

Thank you! It's funny that you ask because I just started a build series on a differential converting to a 3.8 Eaton Tru track 8" Ford. I probably won't have the videos uploaded for a while but they are coming.

@@AlfsMustangGarage that’s awesome! You have the best videos explaining and teaching how to revive these classics!

Thank you!

Thank you. For lug nut installation I use these types of tools in the link to Amazon. You essentially use an acorn style lug nut to wrench the studs in by hand. I hope that helps. www.amazon.com/Lisle-22800-Wheel-Stud-Installer/dp/B000ETUD22/ref=asc_df_B000ETUD22/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312196001716&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12929605838847376945&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1026969&hvtargid=pla-459085252314&psc=1

Thanks again.

Thank you! These types of differentials don't have a cover. The axles are just held in with those four retaining nuts and then they pull out.

👍

Yes I believe its the same gasket.

I'm not sure. I do know they made two different sizes of seals for those 8" ford's. Did you get the right size seal?

The wheel bearings on those have to be cut off and the new ones pressed on. I guess that depends if you have the tools to do so. Your machine shop should be able to handle that easily.

Oh awesome thanks! That's a Snap-On torque wrench.

No. There are no additional gaskets. What you see in this video is what there is.

Well some of these differentials will have a large check plug on the back of the housing and some of them will not. If they do, we have been pretty successful in sucking the fluid out with a fluid extractor. However, the most effective way would be to remove the third member and get it all out that way.

Well I'm not Well versed with Granada but I'm guessing if you went to your local parts store, they should be able to look that up. As far as good quality brakes without getting crazy, check Napa.

@@AlfsMustangGarage good point. thanks for the feedback. great channel sir!

Thank you! Appreciate your support.

Thank you. I can't quite remember but I'm pretty sure it's like the 3M rubberized undercoating in a rattle can.

@@AlfsMustangGarage Thanks, love your channel

Thank you!

It's likely an 8" if it's a factory V8

@@AlfsMustangGarage excellent, it is and that seemed the standard option at AutoZone etc. Thanks brotha, you rock

Thank you!

Try taking your brake drum and turning it around backwards. Install it with 3 lug nuts with maybe 3-4 threads on it. Now use that as a slide hammer. I've heard that works pretty good. Although some of those axles take some force, some will come right out.

@@AlfsMustangGarage allright, thanks for the fast reply! I will be trying that this week lets see if it works!

Sounds good keep me posted

Well the bearings don't get oil. They are a sealed unit.

Not on this style. These just pop in and are bolted secured with that flange.

@@AlfsMustangGarage Roger that thanks

Oh ya, we didn't drain this one. It's probably 2ish qts.

Correct

There are two different sized seals for the axles shafts of an 8". There is the WCY axle code and then all others. The 9569S is the most common, and the 9161 is the odd ball.

@@AlfsMustangGarage that’s good to know. Thank you!!!!

You're very welcome

Just if they start leaking.

Also, how do I know which seal I need to buy to replace my leaky one? I don't understand 28 spline, 31 spline, etc etc

If you have water inside your differential oil, it could be just years of moisture condensation building up over the years. It also could have had the rear axle going though some extreme weather or under water at one point? Either way, you should change that oil out. To answer your question about which seal, if you have a stock rear end, any local parts store will have the factory seals. Just need to tell them the year and engine size.

Some are more difficult than others to get out as to why the proper way is demonstrated.

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Should be in the video description

This is not true. The bearing was fine. The seal wore out due to normal wear because it was an original Ford seal nearly 60 years old.

I hate it when people try to say you didn't do a job correctly. Mis-information/propaganda is floating the net constantly. Some company was prob trying to push sales and decided to say that seals go out because the bearings are bad so buy their bearings and fix the real issue. Or maybe someone did have a bearing completely bad that wore on the seal and came up with the idea that bad bearings is always the cause of seals going out. Rubber seals wear out. They don't last the life of a vehicle. Just because a seal is leaking does not mean the bearing is bad. I replace seals all the time and have no comebacks. If you check the bearing and it looks good, why waste money replacing parts that don't need replaced? That's how they run up repair bills. Rear axles like on this Mustang are very easy to take apart and take little time, so it's not like it'll take 5 hrs to replace the bearing when it goes out. I'm just glad you made this video. I've had many classic Mustangs and have not taken any video of repairs on them. All of my videos are on modern vehicles that come in daily for repair. Keep up the good work!
