Hi i'm rebuilding my dynaflow (60 electra) and the brass bushing coming out of my torque ball seems to have a lot of play. I have a machinist who proposed to put new brass and machine it to spec but he is asking me for the 'free play' gap spec. I cant find it in the manual (I may have missed it). What is the usual gap needed for such a bushing to transmission axle play ?
You'll have to clean up the scoring on the u-joint. I would say no more than .010" should be fine. Tom T.
Yes I noticed that scoring... I pulled it out gently and there was a noticable amount of golden flakes in the oil (brass). Not sure what the last PO did to it. How do I clean it up ? Use fine sand paper ?
Since your having the bushing custom made to your specs. I would cut it down/resurface it somehow at the machine shop. I'm sure he'll be able to figure it out. The smoother the better in my mind. Tom T.
