Hi Bob,
I did the diff bearings in my 523 when I had it pulled apart. The
bearings had to be pressed off by a machine shop (I used my uncles) and
the side play has to be adjusted with a spacer as I recall. Get a FSM and
take a look, or go to the dealer and look at an exploded view of the diff
to see. You'll also want to replave the seals while you're in there.

Subject: SD> 90 Daytona, TI 413. Bad diff bearings

Hi All,
My 90 TI shelby Daytona has bad differential bearings. I just
replaced a seal on the drivers side last night and found lots of
metal flakes. The tranny is still working OK but I need to get this
corrected as soon as possible. The magnet in the tranny is only going
to catch so much metal. LOL> What does it take to change the
bearings? I assume I'll have to drop the K frame and pull the axles
out. (Just had that down a month or so ago when I put in a new rack)
Is this a relitively easy fix? Will it all come apart fast and go
back together OK or is it going to be a PITA to get at everything. I
don't want to fix it but am forced to. I really just want to fix one
of my other cars and let this one go cheap but since it's my daily
driver.......It doesn't give me time to fix anything else. Something
breaks on this car constantly and I don't really do much more than
just drive it fast. Any idea how fast I can change it in a driveway?
I've got two cars in the garage that force me to w!
ork outside. really sucks in the winter.
Thanks.
( I'm a better than average machanic with all the tools. Just
haven't dealt with working on a tranny in the car before.)
