Re: Forever Leaking trans

You may find it impossible to seal the two piece sheet metal axle tube flanges on early transmissions. If the tranny was not professionally built you may have a bunch of mismatched parts, IE: o-ring side covers on non o-ring case.

Re: Rear wheel bearings

Don't forget the hard washer. Throw the metal washer that comes in the kit away, purchase the proper one from Bob at LRE. If you don't you will get lot's of practice re-doing the seals.

Re: 6 or 12

If you don't want it to look so crude, take the nose piece(mounting flange) off and mark the location you want and re drill it. I have drilled several for different people. Hi Torque sells the replacement nose for about $20 if you don't want to re drill the original.
