You mean a "ball cap" ? That's another name for it.

Layden, why don't you send him a free copy of the Parts Book?

Chuck

while you're waiting for your free parts book, contact Joe Bell in Ohio for a ball cap that is bored to your exact needs. Worn out ball caps aren't generally worth the price of postage (really!) and Joe seems to keep rebuilt/rebored ones in stock. Check member listing on the forum and shoot him an email.

Who is calling who old? Man I am “offended”! Please Scott use the term “mature” like in good wine!


By the way, just returned from Florida visiting my wife’s Uncle whom does not have much longer in life but very positive. Love his overall view…, “it is hell to get old.., but man was it fun gettin’ here”!

How do you remove the back side of the ball cap? I am trying to get the transmission off a 19. The cap looks very rusted.

Thanks

In the car, there are 4 bolts that hold the drive shaft to the back of the transmission thru the 4th main. If those 4 bolts are out, nothing but gasket adhesive is keeping it in place.

I'm not conveying what the problem is. See Pic and you will see the ball cap on the end of the shaft. I can not get that off. The oil pan is gone now. Its on older picture.

It's rusted on - dead blow hammer should do it otherwise generous amount of penetrant !

That cap has a babbit bearing and it will need to be rebabbited and bored to size. The clutch spring should almost certainly be replaced, too.

Given that, I see no downside to simply putting a torch on it and heating it until the babbit yields from the output shaft

Afterwards, if the output shaft is in good enough condition to save (very likely), then any babbit that is stuck to it can be cleaned off during its restoration and resurfacing
