Something I learned today, Need advice.

I have been looking everywhere here and on the net. about pulling my axles and replacing all my seals and bearings in my 7 1/4 rear end.
I drove my 66 valiant down the drive way and could hear something rattling in my drivers side wheel, Creed was here so he mad sure it was not in the rear and it sounded like an adjuster jumped out of place or something :glasses2:
So I jaked Victoria up and pull the rear tire and brake drum off and all looked good and when I spun the wheel I could not hear anything "hopping something was just in my center cap or trim ring, Then I spun the drum and nothing :cwm10:, I put it all back together and it still had a noise, Not a big clucking noise just a light sounding noise.
After reading deferent threads here and on the net I found out that these early 7 1/4 rear ends have a dry bearing that should be packed with grease when doing a brake job or possibly every 30.000 miles :tongue9:
So we all know I will always be running a /6 street driver and I se no need to change the rear end so :glasses2: Looks like Victoria will be setting on jake stands and I will do my best to pull the axle and send them to NAPA to have the races pulled off and a new set on along with new bearings and seals.
I never new that these had to be serviced :banghead: If I new this I would have backed the bearings when I got her.
There is no noise any where else on the rear end, I serviced and did the rear grease 90WT. I just hope NAPA can do this for me and get the correct parts it will take to do the job. I will have them do booth axles, the rear end only has 62.000 miles on it so I should be good to go I would think, because just a few weeks ago I could shut the car down and cost down the road and it was very quit. Do you think a bearing has tossed a ball bearing ?

I came so close to drive her to 66aCUDA's house last week and so glad I did not :color:

I know these 7 1/4 rear are week, but I don't see me finding an 8 1/4 that will fit with out doing and spending a bunch on it.
I believe 66 to 72 was the same width and a direct bolt in.

What should I do. I know I am not pushing more then 110hp .

Any help in what I can do while I am there or if some one has what I need to get this dun, I would rather spend my cash here and see if anyone has been through this in these early A's we love so much. Thank you for any input you may have for me.
Your Arkansas member on the hill.

Oop's for got to ask, Does everyone think I can do this myself ? with help from my son ??
