SOMEONE TO DO IT.<br>
There's a guy about an hour away that has been building them since the 70's,<br>
races and restores VW's, and after<br>
Chatting with him for some time he's one of the last of the dying breed that<br>
knows this stuff and has the tools to do it,<br>
And at very reasonable rates.<br>
<br>
SO, if it makes it to Richmond and back, after towing the trailer back from<br>
the camp Saturday I may TRY to pull it out before the winter, more likely a<br>
spring thing<br>
As I really don’t want to have to remember how to put it back together in<br>
the spring, Stock... OK, the 2056 has some nuances....<br>
<br>
Apparently there are a number of bearings on the main shaft and idler gears<br>
that could be the culprit. Sigh!<br>
Ive been trying to get my Dad's Tbird done for 10 years now and stuff keeps<br>
distracting me, that and the weather, rained<br>
Almost every weekend this summer and most of the weeks too.<br>

<br>
That was a LONG time ago, not sure if I tried. That particular bearing is<br>
extremely special, and it may have only been made for VWAG. It was the late<br>
pinion bearing version with the large diameter threads. Buying generic is<br>
certainly a reasonable thing to do; we have a good local bearing house. At<br>
that time it was named Wisconsin Bearing, with many warehouses around the<br>
state. Now it's Motion Industries, which I assume just means that it's part<br>
of a larger conglomerate, not always a good sign. They've come up with<br>
things off the shelf that I couldn't find in catalogs.<br>
<br>
I saved the old outer bearing race. I'll check it to see if it has any sort<br>
of marking on it. ISTR seeing them for sale on ebay, made by FAG, for much<br>
less in the last couple decades, but those are probably just places trying<br>
to get rid of obsolete stock that will never sell otherwise.<br>
