- Hello everyone, first I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for subscribing to the channel!
In this video I will demonstrate the progress that I have made with the vehicle over the past few months of ownership.
I will be covering how to change/ remove the axle shafts and the differential gasket.
Huge shout out our friends over at RedBird Speed .com for custom making our axle shafts, very professional, knowledgeable, & fast shipping!
Also another huge shout out to our local axle shop here in Tulsa, (Axle transmissions & transfers- lewis ) for taking great care of me and for the fast turnaround on pressing the bearings.
Enjoy the video, & follow me on instagram at DLT_1109
Some dummy put some drums on my 65 Cutlass Convertible with a smaller center hole than Oldsmobile axle and front hubs, and none of the nearby parts stores have brake drum pullers for rent, so I was just going to pull the axles because I have fully set up rear 11" backing plates I could install, and then I remembered that 4 bolt flange system on the Buick Olds and Pontiac. I checked your video to confirm what I already knew. LOL
Glad it helped!
I have a 1978 caprice with bolt on axles 30 inch long with 28 spine
GOOD VIDEO!
How much gear fluid did you put back into the diff when you were all done the install?
The 60s Buick Olds Pontiac holds 2 quarts, or until you can touch it with your pinky finger in the fill hole.
Did you have to remove the c clips on the axle ends?
@@grumpyek my 71 did not come with c clips. I kept looking for them but my year and model did not have any.
Can you just replace the seal only?
I couldn’t find any oem. So I ended up replacing the whole axle shaft
What’s the part number for the axle
My apologies for the delayed response. I don’t recall the part number but give Redbird speed shop a call 260-301-2424 tell them what year & model you have & they should be able to help you out. Paid in full ahead of time and if I’m not mistaken delivery took 10-15 business days!
@@dltsgarage1705 thank you
@@dltsgarage1705 I have that same axle but it’s in a 1978 caprice.. purchased it like that. That’s why I was asking what part number you have, do I can order the same axle
Do u have Instagram?
