Getting ready for Spring,I decided  it was time to investigate the
clunking in the rear end.I had the mounting brackets rebuilt last
year.My initail fear was that the welds had broken,but upon
examination,all was fine.Rotating the rear wheel I noticed significant
play before the drive shaft would rotate.The seals also leak so it
sounds like time to rebuild.I removed the unit & called TRF,turn around
time is Three months.My Bentley Manual is as intimidating as always,but
my Haynes  Manual says that if some noise can be tolerated "it is quite
possible for any do-it-yourself mechanic to successfully recondition
this unit".They do stress the need for special tool part #s101.I am
tempted to do it myself for several reasons,time,self
satisfaction.Advice would be appreciated.I have even considered taking
it to a local Transmission rebuilder to see if turn around time would be
shorter,I would let them use my Bentley Manual.

Thanks
