Hellow,I am new at this.So here it goes.I have a 1928 chevy landau.today was the 1st time this year that i drove it, every thing seemed fine the first go around,then when I went to take it for a 2nd trip around the block,I put it in gear and started to go and something made a noise and the car stoped moving,I tried putting it in all gears and stiil would not move .I jacked the car up in the rear and took the axle houseing cover off.I found that on the right axle shaft,it moves, however at the differential side gear the end of the shaft does not turn neither does the gear. does this mean that my drive axle shaft is broke at the side gear or is there a pin or somthing that is broke , I cant see anything that looks to broken,and did not find any shavings or parts in side theaxle housing.Any help would be great, thanks Daren,

If I read your post correctly you have a broken axle shaft. A '28 typically breaks next to the spider gear. It is necessary to pull the rear cover as well as take the rest of the axle out of the housing. I have a few axles if you need one.

I agree with Chipper. If you pull the right axle I suspect it will have next to no splines on it

thank you for your reply to my questions,I guess the next step to this problem is how to pull the shaft out.Is this a hard thing to do?You also mentioned that you have a couple of shafts you may part with.Could you give me a ball park figure on the price for one of them? Again thank for your advice,it may be a couple of days befor I can log back on do to my work always on call 24/7 .

after chipper supplies a used axle, i'd be watching ebay for a spare. or perhaps chipper has a pair of the axles you can purchase from him. his prices are very reasonable.i keep several spares for our 29, 30 and 31 chevys. mike
