I put a sealed bearing on the front of my 39 3-speed transmission when I rebuilt it. I removed the inside seal of the bearing so the bearing would still be lubricated from the trans side. Curious, did you finally move the rearend/torque tube back to get the trans out?

yes, I ended up having to remove the rearend U-Bolts and roll the whole torque tube back to get the u-joint and transmission separated. Luckily, the rubber flex line on the brakes had enough slack so I didn’t have to dismantle the brake line. You never know what you’re going to find in these old vehicles.
I sure appreciate everyone’s help and input!!
