Hi,
When I drove back my hurst I didn't notice that the rear axle was leaking. But I was lucky, I did not broke everything, just a bearing shot and it ate the pinion a little. We tried something with a friend, we machined the pinion but damage was done : you can't bring the metal back.
I decided to reassemble with some new bearings, shims and crush sleeve eliminator and it works but it will need another pinion to be perfect.
new one are very expensive, so if someone has one on his shelf...
I have a repair manual and I can check the part number to know if it will fit.
My rear axle is a 8-3/4 489 case non sure grip.
thanks !
