Roger:
A few years ago, I had my 6C at Joe Merliâ??s and we pulled those bearings to
lubricate them. I am pretty sure if you have one of the Model Râ??s that the
axle assembly is the same. I have a copy of Garyâ??s â??Curved Dash Manual
Second Editionâ?? In it he says, on page 31 â??Remove the wheels and extract
the journal roller bearingsâ??. Thatâ??s it.
I, of course, donâ??t remember exactly how we got to the bearings, but I do
remember it was not particularly difficult. Somewhere behind the brass washer
is basically a serial wound bearing that stuffâ??s into the axle housing. The
bearing is not at all like the Timkin roller bearings on the front stub axels.
So, I am thinking you just took a right angle pick or a pair of them and just
pull out the brass washer and then the bearing.
I can tell you for certain that you do not want to start taking apart the
differential. It screws together and taking it apart requires a very long
handled wrench -probably two and several strong and very helpful friends to
hold and turn. There is also a good chance to break the differential housing,
which would be really bad.
Sorry I cannot be of more specific help, but just poke around with the brass
washer and maybe try speaking to it nicely. Sometimes that helps.
Best Regards,
Cliff
