are there any teardown/assembly manuals available for the banjo rear axle.i searched the web and archives hoping to download or print something. i got a 47 1/2 ton i'm tearing down for my build. any help or links would be oppreciated.
I used this thread to rebuild mine. It works really well. Unfortunately the pictures have gone now. I was lucky enough to print it out before they disappeared but I'm sure it should still be OK. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61502 It's fairly easy to follow. You have to be patient. There is a fair bit of assembly- disassembly- assembly- disassembly to get it set up right. Good luck Pete
Buy some gaskets. The side gaskets come in .06 and .010. Every thing is done by FEEL. Done a bunch of them, and the old gent that showed me was a Model A mechanic. He showed me some tricks, and I never had a problem with one. I even used mismatched ring and pinion gears, (had no money then) only enough for new bearings, and it ran quiet for years. Its not complicated, but be prepaired to dismantle it several times to get it right. I can go through it with you when your ready. Don't waite to long, I'm old. Iceman
