OK, now I have a new problem... As I was replacing the lockouts, seals and such I noticed that the front rear was very hard to turn by hand. So I had planned to replace the pinion seal anyway, and as I took the seal off the outter pinion bearing fell apart. No biggie really BUT the inner pinion bearing was missing a roller! Now, is this something that I can replace relatively easy or does the whole innereds have to come out for one bearing and the reshim the whole rear? Or can I take the disc brake hardward off of the 86 Corp. 10 bolt and put it on a 70 Dana 44? I am so freakin' confused and a little peved that this is taking so long to do. I really want to have the truck on the road by the end of Aug so I can make sure all the bugs are worked out and put the plowing equipment on it. HELP PLEASE?
