There are thin sleeves to put on the crankshaft to enlarge the shaft to cover the worn out area on the crankshaft ,so the seal will keep the oil in , These are available at a good auto parts store I believe we called them speedy sleeves. Older fords had problems with axels leaking differential oil on to brake shoes. Very common problem with small block chev V8's to leak oil at front cover of the motor. Just slide the sleeve on, and install the seal
you have a seal leak causing the differential oil to get onto the rear brakes shoes.what is happening is the brakes grab the drum and shift until they can`t move(turn)any more causing the clunking noise.the groove in the axle if it is bad enough then it will need a axle sleeve installed which gives the axle were the groove is a smooth surface,it is a thin metal sleeve the diameter of the axle that is installed on the axle.
Remove the thermostat cover bolts from the thermostat housing.
Remove and discard the thermostat housing O-ring.
Thermostat assembly
Twist the water feed pipe while pulling to remove it from the water pump. Remove the water pipe from the water pump assembly.
Remove and discard the seals from the water pipe.
Remove the inner thermostat sleeve.
Remove the thermostat assembly.
To Install:
Install the thermostat cartridge into the thermostat housing while aligning the cartridge tangs up with the thermostat housing bolt holes. This will assure the inner sleeve can be completely installed.
Align and insert the inner sleeve notch into the thermostat housing. If the inner sleeve notch is not properly positioned, the sleeve will not completely seat into the housing.
The water feed pipe seals can be slightly lubricated with silicone gel to aid during installation. Install a new O-ring on the water pipe.
Position the water pipe into the water pump assembly.
Seat the water feed O-ring by pushing and twisting toward the water pump. Take care not to tear or damage the O-ring.
Install the thermostat housing cover to the water pipe. The water feed pipe has a locating tab to assure proper alignment.
Install a new thermostat housing cover seal into the recess groove.
Position the thermostat housing cover into position.
Install the thermostat housing cover bolts and tighten bolts to (89 in-lb 10 Nm).
Most likely the Rear Crush seal has worn out he will have to replace the crush sleeve the seal an add a speedy sleeve to the york and re-rest the depth of the third member gear and replace oil so yep pretty much he ill have to come close to rebuilding it.
Firstly, make sure the seal you fitted is the correct one, sounds silly but I have been given the wrong seals by parts people. It pays to check.
Next, if you have fitted the seal correctly, and made sure that the seal is in flush with the housing, then it may be that the shaft is worn and may have a groove in it which was caused by the old seal.
Pull the shaft out again and check for this groove in the shaft.
If it does have the groove, you will need to find and purchase a steel sleeve which is fitted over the worn section of the shaft and ensures a nice clean and tight surface for the new seal to run on, thus stopping the leak..
Here in australia these sleeves are called "speedy Sleeves" and are available from any bearing shop and auto parts stores.
The sleeve has a removable step on it which is used to tap the sleeve onto the shaft ( with a small hammer) and is then removed by twisting it sideways with pliers or sidecutters. The sleeve has a scored edge to help with this. Once you have removed the step, carefully clean up the edge with very fine grade rubbing paper ( wet and dry or fine emery cloth) with Oil applied to it to remove any sharp edges BEFORE you refit the shaft into the gearbox. This ensures that the new sleeve does not damage the seal. Re-assemble everything and test drive.
As long as the seal is correct and fitted correctly and the sleeve is fitted correctly this will stop the leak.
Have fun..
You can carefully remove the old sleeve, careful not to damage the surface underneath, inspect and assess the damage underneath. Possibly it can be repaired properly with medium then fine emery cloth polishing the surface. If there is a groove deep enough that your thumbnail catches on it, you might need to install a new sleeve. Research the brands and install the thinnest one possible. You may also be able to drive the seal in deeper or shallower to locate it in a different position on the spindle. It would only need 1/8 to 3/16" difference. Please post your results, hope this helps. -Jeremy
They are right. The sleeve will seal against the crank seal. The ridges are what is letting the seal leak. I install sleeves quite often on older models, the success rate is pretty high.
does it have a gear or a reluctor wheel. if it has a wheel you will have to take the sleeve off first and be careful they bend easy. then you can drive it off with a brass drift, again be careful because they crack. gm has a special tool to removed and install these parts. hayden trans tool may also have one. you should measure the distance from the end of the output shaft ro the rear edge of the wheel this will be your assembly height.then put your yoke seal sleeve tube back on and your done.
