While putting tranny back together ('74 Eldo) I notice
that the output shaft nut (at the rear) seems to ride
directly on top of the speedo worm ball - is this really
normal - or should there be some kind of washer between
the nut and speedo worm? There wasn't one when I
disassembled it, but based on what else I've found missing
from the PO - I don't trust that.
Also, w/o that "special" tool, I ground pegs on a socket
to use for putting the input hub nut on - I'm skeptical
I'm getting it tight enough. Can I use the same nut that
you use on the output shaft (27mm) - does it have enough
bearing surface? I'd really like to be able to put some
firmer torque on that input hub.
Thanks, -tom
