I had removed the transmission last week to both adjust the linkage and to replace the rear seal and bearing. I did not want to take the case apart and in one of the recent posts, John Z mention a tool that would allow you to change the seal and rear bearing while the tranny was still in the car. I located the tool on E-bay and although my tranny is out of the car, I left the shift on to show it can be done .
My old slip yoke had 300,000 miles on it and it shows it.
My new slip yoke and balanced drive shaft
The tool to extract the rear bearing , with seal removed
Close up of tool
Rear Bearing , the tool slides in just like a yoke
I use a hose clamp to compress flanges of tool , edges grab bearing
Use wrench to extract bearing , bolt pushes on tail shaft , pulling bearing
Bearing pulled out
Can be done with tranny in car and not taken apart
