Thanks Tim lots of general pictures, but, you know me by now, I gotta reverse engineer
everything.
I'm assuming the end of the tool with the bolt is solid and tapped so the bolt pushes
against the splined shaft to pull the bushing. I don't get the tab thing on the side, is that
welded to a ring inside that spreads the finger and is the finger end tapered inside? Ya
see, these pictures only show the side views of it.
The Chevs of the 40's Okie bushing looks like it's solid brass. The one at Classic Parts
looks like it's ???? some sort of outer sleeve with a thin bushings pressed into the ends.
And where is the seal on the Okie bushing? Again, I'm assuming it’s pressed into a boss
machined into the end that's not shown. I haven’t worked on a closed drive shaft rear end
since back in the late 50’s. Don’t have to go thru this exercise with the 3600’s that I have
but I may end up with a half ton in the shop one day.
Couple pages more of discussion and I might be able be pry enough out to satisfy my
curiosity.
