Hey, Im new to the board and Im loving it so far from what post I have read. I have a question about my 9' Ford rearend and yoke. First if all, here is how my tag reads.. WBT-BY1 3.50 4AE 293 I need help with what it come from because my pinion seal leaks from the old seal wearing a groove in it. I will need to find another pinion yoke from a donor, but I dont know what to look for because it was in my truck when I bought it(55 F100). It also has a balancer made in the yoke. If anybody can help me or has one for sale, let me know. Ive been working on this truck for years, and now I cant even enjoy the first summer with it.
Ring and pinions need to be changed in sets ... matched sets. You cannot sucessfully just put a new pinion ( even the correct type ) in on your old ring and not have problems ... Factory original 3.50 gear sets for 9 inch Fords are somewhat difficult to find ... just go ahead and buy a new set ... or another center section ... IMHO ...
measure the dia of the yoke seal area and go down to napa and order a speedy sleeve that fits it. its a thin ss sleeve that is driven on for a repair. costs about $28. oder a new seal while your at it
