[Fot] Southwick rear end

[Dennis DeLap]

Hi Mike

Most of us have the Southwick rear axle conversion in our cars. 
The axles 
themselves are quite easy to take out - undo the horseshoe shaped
plate that 
bolts to the flange and pull.  The bearings should be the sealed
type, and the 
axle tube may also have a lip seal to keep differential oil
from getting to the 
bearing.
If you call Bob at Southwick he will have the
replacement part #'s for you.
309-949-2868

Good luck
Dennis


My TR4 I just
bought has a Southwick rear end and limited slip. The axle
seals are leaking,
probably from sitting for a few years and that is why my
rear brakes are
contaminated.



Two questions:



1.      Are the seals a different size or
type than on a stock TR4, if so,
where do I get them, and



2.      Since
this is not in my trusty Haynes manual, how do I remove the
axles?





Thanks
Mike
