One of the advantages of VCCA membership is that you can easily connect with other classic Chevy owners in your area.
Finding a competent shop that is willing a to work on these vehicles is becoming more and more difficult. That is why so many of us do so much of our own work.

Hello Mike , the first thing I noticed was the it was leaking fluid , so took it apart and found loose rivets on the ring gear and tighten them,Then looking at it and fount that one of the bearings had spun on the carrier. I have found new bearings at a local supply shop and he suggested I put them on with loctite, I am hopping I don't have to mess with the axle and torque tube bearings,,,, So for now that is where I am.

Where was it leaking? At the rear cover or axle ends?
