Centre Support Bearing Query
As per this thread https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...sing-leak.html on my leaking tranny, I need to replace the Centre Support Bearing on my 2 piece tail shaft and I bought a new bearing yesterday but it looks slightly different to the old one?
The main bearing is the same but it has 2 other bits that the old one doesn't, namely a large washer type plate and a small shouldered one? Can anyone tell me are they needed for my situation or are they for some other vehicle as the box talks about this bearing being used on pre 77 F100's?
Also I assume I will need to take it to a drive shaft place as I can't get the old bearing off and I guess they are pressed on ?
