I'm doing a 3:55 ring & pinion swap and have the axle & torque tube removed. I have the Okie bushing in the kit & some instructions (Patricks) suggest driving out both of the bushings with a 6 foot galvanize pipe. Is there an advantage in just removing the front bushing and leaving in the rear bushing & seal when installing the Okie bushing? Thanks again.
Patrick's suggestion about removing both of the bushings and oil seal is the correct way to do the job.
The propeller shaft will run cooler.
Read my (jorb) last 3 Post, I discuss what to do about the dowel pin holes.
