TELL ME WHY WE DO THIS?!!!!!

Why dont you machine the input shaft retainer. Much easier that messing with the bellhousing.
I not sure that will work, because the bearing is larger in as well. I'll give a look thanks.

And to add more injury to that insult, after spending all afternoon trying to swap out tailshaft housing the bearing is larger bearing in the
E-body! WTF! 20170415_160148_resized.jpg
It's .4" larger than the B-body (one on the right that has the larger input bearing (one on the left) :eek:

And you might have noticed that a piece is broken off the housing on the left (the one I need) flange broke. 20170415_155808_resized.jpg
This happened because you have to move a snap ring out and out of the groove in the bearing than press then you can completely remove thr ring when the bearing is out . In the bearing in the B-body housing you can access this from both sides (see 2nd to last photo) but the other housing only has acess one side so I couldn't get it out so I tried while it was on the press and bang! Now I'm back to square 1:mad:
