[FC] Differential side bearing

[Charles]

-----

Have you checked the inner dust shield that goes between the u-joint and
differential?  I can't imagine a side bearing making that much noise and the
quitting either.  I have had intermittent noises in axle bearings.  My axle
bearing noise decreased when on the brakes hard.  I figured that was because
the shoes unloaded the bearing.  The shop manual shows a bearing puller.  I
need to try to make one myself.  I have drilled out the rivets and then
installed a grease fitting in the housing to grease the bearings on my '63
convertible but I've never actually pulled one off yet-------

Thanks Joel, I'll definitely check that out.
