How to change the rear end def on a 53 Customline

[paul2748]

Pull out the pumpkin? Drain oil (drain plug on bottom?). Remove tires and brake drums. Unbolt the flange that holds the axle to the housing. Pull axles, then unbolt center section and pull out. Not like a TBird which has the Dana in 55/56 but similar to a 57. Don't forget to unbolt the driveshaft.


Wagons may be different, not sure if they had a Dana.
