Changing the bearings arent quite as easy as it looks. The races need
to be replaced at the same time, or the bearings will wear out
prematurely. On top of that, when you replace bearings, you change the
clearances of the bearings, and there can be too much or not enough load
on the bearings after replacing them. The race on one side need to be
shimmed to set the turning torque of the gear. This has to take place
with the transfer shaft out of the transaxle also, which means a partial
tear down of the tranny. The last a413 I rebuilt was way off after
installing the new bearings, even with geniue Mopar bearings and the
same shims ith came with from the factory. You can install them and
give it a try, but my guess is it will fail a lot sooner, and possibly
make more problems then it will fix quicker than you think.

Two years ago I replaced my clutch in my 87 t2 Daytona and saw the
same thing. Took the differential assembly to a NAPA machine shop
with a set of new bearings and 40 dollars later the old bearings were
pressed out and the new bearings were in. Over it wasn't hard just
tedious, didnt have to remove the k frame but they are different
years of Daytonas and I did have the tranny out I just cant remember
if the differential could come out separately.

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.)
