Re: 1966 Chevy Truck rear end
I would wire brush the gears the best you can, and then rinse it all out with either brake cleaner or carb cleaner. Then a new gasket and fresh 75W90 gear oil and drive it a hundred or so miles, see how it sounds and then change the oil again.

Re: 1966 Chevy Truck rear end
Got the axles out but somehow the pinion gear got turned and both spider gears of feel out.
Any trick to getting those back in. |

Re: 1966 Chevy Truck rear end
Same.
Old Chevy's can run like crap without even knowing it, for a very long time. If it's reasonably quiet, you dodged a bullet; run with it. If it's death incarnate, well, it was buggered anyway. You won't be making "already-buggered" any worse by driving it.

That happened to me once too. It was doomed. Here's the thread I started. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=782519

Re: 1966 Chevy Truck rear end
Put them in the openings on either side, then turn the axles/side-gears to "walk" them in.

Re: 1966 Chevy Truck rear end
Hold the gears in line with their thrust washer on the case. Get both in and slowly turn the case till you can get the pin back in
