In further inspection of the clunk in the rear end, I have found that the splines on the rear hub are actually worn out, not the rear axel as I had previously thought (my apoligies to thebenzbin in
this thread)
I have a donor car to get a hub from. After looking though the threads I have the following questions:
1. Do I absolutely have to buy special tools to swap the hubs?
(It seems 50/50 in previous threads)
a. If yes, how costly as I will probablyl not have to do this
repair again
b. If no, what is the procedure
2. Will I need to replace the races and bearings as well?
(I'm guessing yes)
The car is the 81 240. It has no symptoms of any problems with the rear bearings.
Thanks
