Thank you everyone.

What a BEAR job.
Its all done. The bearing on the shaft was shot.
Replaced both and new seals
No clunk .its tight under there but now all is good!
Thanks everyone

Well everyone was right........I had to REPULL  the shock, and move over the half shaft to get the center shaft out, the inner bearing was shot.
What a kookie setup. Jim F already mailed the bearings and seals......more to come.
Thanks everyone

I agree with my last Etype build matched sets were a lot easier
But
Aston Martin the variables and time tables were all over the place
Once done it will be great
Remember I'm. Not repainting or sugar coating
I'm redoing all the essential and preserving!
It's a Leno job!😀

Thats where Im heading,
Looks like the axles are replaced but a lock nut and cotter pin.
I have it apart in 10 mintes.
To pull the hub once the nut is removed , you just YANK it? and it will come to you or do a need a puller>
Thanks in advance.

Well I resealed the rear, new u joints on half shafts but on my 1960 Aceca
After greasing and all my drivers/left side hub , click/wobbles a HAIR. The other side is perfect. Someone PUT new shafts in but it feels like a bearing wobble as if the hub nut can be a bit tighterbut I cant tighten any more.
Suggestions?
Can I take off the center nut and just PULL the splines towards me?
Maybe the bearing isnt seated?

Thank You
It only took seconds to align
I like your tool!
Nice to see this forum is alive as well!
I'm putting the rear back by the weekend
Pressing in the bushings were a killer!

Thank you........all this for 100 hp car  ;D

Will do now!
When they go back in after I put the pumpkin in they should go one way ish both side even or stagger for phasing?

Ok look at top left it's off one tooth
I don't think they were ever apart?
I just did the joints!

Look at right

Okay, while replacing my half shaft and drive shaft u joints on my 1960 Aceca, I noticed the passenger/right side half shaft yokes are NOT PARALLEL.
ITS cocked say 8 and 10 not parallel was this done on purpose for binding?
The car was fine before.....
Anyone know the answer?
Thanks in advance

James On my Aceca , Heres what Im doing.
Simple green spray
Then Brillo
Then scotch bright pad then wipe down.
All my underside pans were none painted except up front near the wheels.
Hope this helps, I love the AC CLUB but the website and participation is tough.
Good luck!

They look close.....
Anyone ever change the driveshaft u joints?
