Seems I have a bearing gone on the input shaft of my differential. I was wondering if they where pressed in and how hard they are to change. I understand you have to be careful about shimming the gears right etc. when you put it back together but i also hear that ford is the easiest rear end to set up and as long as i put everything back in exactly how it came out i should be fine. Anybody here tried this or know how hard it is to get the old bearing out and a new one in without damaging the housing etc. Tnx. Maybe with a bit of luck i can take the silver fox out to see some of her relatives next season. Anybody in the Orillia area ??

 

ya..ford is the easiest rear end to set up, but if you are not carefull you will damage the housing.
