<VV> Burnt up diff bearing

[Mike McCrae]

What we've all ignored here is "why" the bearing failed. If the race seat 
meets specs, be sure and clean out the passage that leads from the
"ledge" down to the bearing providing the necessary lubrication.... 
otherwise, you will burn out the new bearing as well.

The only one I had fail ruined the case.
It should have some good parts in it though.  The side adjuster sleeves if 
they aren't worn out and the spider gears are good to have spares.  You need 
an extra set when you install the 4 spider carrier.
If the case is messed up you could have it machined for a sleeve...
Is it a '64?

Mike in most cases the outer race of the pinion end bearing spins in the 
case.  If your new race doesn't fit tight in the case you might as well 
trash it.     Smitty
