I took the 49 chev tube apart to see what was with the oakie bushing and looks like everything was okay with the way it was pushed in but the bushing is the wrong size for the yoke .I also dont know why it would not spin as nothing seemed like it was tight from looking at the bushing .Anyway since it is apart I have been cleaning parts and getting ready to put the new gears back in.The one pinion bearings were failing the other looks good .I found out the spare carrier I kept from a tube I had that was filled with water is a American truck carrier but both rear ends that I took apart have brass shims,sliders whatever they are called that are behind the spider gears and axle inner side gears so no go for that .I am going to check with a machine shop to see if they will drill the Canadian carrier like Curt fro Alberta has done .I noticed the new inner pinion bearing has a nylon cage rather than metal like the original ,I took off the side rubber on the bearing also .
