The car has the clam shell hubs, and retaining that style is authentic to 1964, the year of manufacture. The transmission I have uses the rubber boot style based upon the driver cups protruding from it sides.
I was wondering about the need to replace parts in the differential. The Service manual shows both styles with no mention of compatibility or incompatibility between them. Only a comment on new versus old spline sizes.
On the other hand, the long axial bolt used with the Clam Shell Drivers does not thread into the differential carrier. It threads into a splined nut in the same splined bore as the driver. Is it a cam locking type of anchorage? I need to review the Service Manual further to determine if the long axial driver bolt is to be completely removed prior to extracting the Clam Shell Driver, or loosened significantly to allow release of the cam locking effect.
NOTE: Instructions say to back off the bolt prior to removing the drive cup. Does not say to remove the bolt! The splined nut and long axial bolt must create a cam lock to retain the drive cup shaft in the differential carrier.
