The old Ford banjo rear end has seen better days. Was locked up, tore it all down this morning and it had sit outside, has water in it and filled with sludge. Pinion bearings were froze up but remarkably we tore it all down without breaking anything and I think it’s salvageable. Needs new bearings but should rebuild with ease. Couple questions? Are there any good threads on the rebuild process? Looks like the hardest part will be putting the pre-load on the pinion, any words of wisdom there? Also, can you buy rebuild kits that include all parts or do you have to buy each individual bearing? Thanks gentlemen for any and all help! View attachment 5628042
