How do you get the bearings off the axle and the locking ring I have a 66 Pontiac Grand Prix want to put new bearings in

I cut through the bearing most of the way with a cutting wheel on the grinder and then finished the last bit with a really sharp chisel and hammer

sounds good ya there's always air in the engine when it's been drained and you have to run it and shut it down a bunch of times for the air to work out if you just run it the engine will overheat but you were in a situation where you needed the engine to run in order for breakin. 72 oldsmobile supreme and 75 delta convert over here in dedham

I was actually hoping to get my Chevelle a 12 bolt rearend (8.875) and change out the gears and turn it to a posi . But...the rear end i came accross, was already set up with a posi and 4.11 gear, so im happy with that. But, i skip the adventure of the set up, oh well, maybe someday.

I'm a pro-mechanic and have assisted other mechanics with this process. I myself have only done 1, and it was more of a side bearing replacement and shim set up. But all in all i think you did pretty good in setting it all up!

seems like you did a lot of work for pinion depth. i measure the original pinion depth before removing it, then use the original shim that's on it and start from there. most of the time depth is off a couple thousand so i match it and done.

I recently did all this for a bad waterpump. The chain thing is fairly normal too. They make an updated timing cover access port that also does the job of that bolt, as the bolt holding the guide in is to blame for these failures. Easy easy to replace that. The waterpump, not so much.
