1969 Dodge Dart Swinger clean up
Cleaning axle bearings and retaining flanges of grease and goo.. in a bucket of gas. Anyone got a light..
Cleaning between the retaining flange and bearing to get gunk and check the smoothness of the sealing surface of the shaft. There were no signs of leakage prior to disassembly, so we'll clean it, grease the bearings and run'm.
When the last guy used RTV vs the correct foam seal. Also probably the first time in my life that I'm working with a ring on... getting old and stupid. Been hanging that thing on a locker hook or in my change pocket for almost 39 years.
Getting stuff cleaned up and my favourite liquids container. Thanks Simcoe County!
Nice fresh 489 cone unit and new gears as well.
3:55 to 1 ratio.
Set up seems to be running a nice pattern.
Wear pattern dead center on the teeth.
Hunting for metal in the axle tubes, after finding a few chunks with my fingers down by the axle seals.
A few fragments that the last guy missed after someone exploded a differential unit!
