    Ok
    These are for the 63-64 Buick full size...the 65-67 are the same seal and bearing also...68-69 they changed them.

    axle seal is 51098 timkin
    axle bearing is 514003 timkin

    differential carrier bearings 1963-1965 :

    25584 cone or bearing timkin
    25520 cup or race timkin

    In 1966 they had a first design and they used the A36 set same as a 12 bolt chevy c-clip rear

    Do You Sell These Bearings? I Think The 25584 Has A T After It Meaning Tapered The Way It Mounts It Looks Like It Need To Be Tapered?

    Wow axles...That I can not help you with... I can even say I have ever did work on one of these rears yet.

    I will check and see if the bearings are still available from my supplier or if there is a cross reference. Jim

    yes i see it's not listed on your web site// do you know the tolerences of the clutches in this rear/ they look pretty good but wonder if there was a thickness.
    all steel not clutch material like i thought

    If you have an axke you can stick the axle in a vise with the spline sticking up out of the jaws about 3-4 inches clamped and then take the posi carrier and pop it ontop the axle spline . Next take another axle and stick it in the top of the axle access of the carrier. Now take a pipe wrench on the shaft of the top axle shaft and see how hard it is to spin the unit. If you can not your unit is pretty good...OR if your jaws can not hold the axle shaft you have clamp as your tryng to spin the top axle. If it spins very freely then it needs service.

    This is just a back yard way to tell if it is generally good or in need of service. Ok? Jim

    If you have the unit torn apart...clean all the clutches and look for scard or burn clutch plats ...That will give a sign of the life the unit lead. Jim
