He put new axels, carrier, bearings, you name it. Except no work on the pinion, Shop guy said it appeared ok. Got it installed, drove it a few miles, re-tighten all the mounting bolts, still clunks when lugging in first gear, I hear a clunk in the rear end while in first, going on and off the gas, making the car hop. No whine on the road. Now that I think about it, I need to re-check the U-bolts to make sure they are tight, but I feel they are. Do you think it is the Pinion or possible axel?

For those that don't know me I used to own a 1970 Z25 Chevelle SS, Red on Red matching numbers and canadian documented with PoP, Build sheet, warranty in french and english. I sold it in Dec 07.

Now, I'm looking for another car but taking my time about it.

So, hope to post more and learn a whole lot more.

But I was thinking of how I could remove the inside retaining ring, then I could just take to a local restoration shop to have any imperfections removed and polished. The I would re-install the inner retaining ring. I have it this far and though I could just peal the ring out, doesn't seem to be working. Anyone have any luck with removal and re-installation?

I am almost complete with my ss dash conversion on my '67. The last thing to mount is the lower steering column cover. I can not for the life of me figure out what or how this thing mounts. :mad: I have searched the forum and found other references to the same problem, but no solutions. Just references to some clips I may not have or do not see. If you all have pictures that would be great. Any help would be appreciated.

Guys I know this is an old post but was doing research on this because Im switching to a cable set up and already have the new Lokar cable. However Id be interested in seeing how you guys rigged this up to a stock pedal. Lokar states you can use stock pedal but on a 66 theres nothing to mount it to. No eyelet or anything. I realy dont want to invest in thier pedal assembly if I dont have to.

So anyone out there do this mod? Id love to hear how you did it. Thnx Frank

Sorry for any confusion if anyone ansers in the other forum but it just didnt make sense as to why it was there?
