Author Topic: Axle Length? (Read 235 times)

Anybody know how long the driver's side axle of the 8" rear in my '66 is? I need to take apart the rear to fix the leaking seals I have and am concerned that I may not have enough room to the garage wall along side the car to pull the axle out of the housing. Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

I don't know the exact length but more than 26 inches.

Before tearing apart, measure from center of axle housing to hub to get the general idea.

That's what I did and it's awful close. That's why I'm looking for an exact measurement.
