Thanks Glen. So I think I'll be doing some closer measuring than expected, and, be on the look-out for the differences. But is there anyone who offers rebuilt halfshafts? I think I'd like to plan to trade-up for new flanges that could availe better wheel selection like Chris at PRI, and I've read everyones words about PRI/C.Cancelli who offers totally new spindles. But I still would like to get the plans together now and have goals set up and planned for instead of replacing this now and spend beau-coup later. Again, thanks in advance. Ed.

: The flange can be a real PITA to remove.
: The inner bearing rides directly on the

: Also several different axle shaft
: lengths were used over the years so
: they are not all interchangable.
