Newbie Introduction
Greetings from Canada, my name is Gord and I am excited to bring my 53 Hudson Hornet back to life however I do have one problem, I am not an experienced mechanic and with this forum I hope to rely on all you experts to solve my problems and give some good advice on what to do. My next post will be asking how to remove my rear axles, oil seals and bearings… Look forward in being a part of the HET Forum
Cheers,
Gord

Let me first ask you -- is your purpose simply to lubricate the rear wheel bearings and install new oil seals? Or are you having problems with your axles?
Show us some pictures of you 53!

I am taking your advise and joining the HET club. I have been relying on you-tube for tech stuff however I noticed there isn't much on 53 Hudson's.
Dan, thanks for your offer, I will send you the info on private message, be patient as I am not sure how to do that yet...
Hi Jon, thanks for the welcome... I am on the West Coast, just east of Vancouver.
The purpose is to install new bearings and oil seals... the pic above is where I am at, my manual says just us a puller to pull the axles out, my question is are the axles attached in the differential with a clip or connector? Manual page 11-20 rear axle 52 models item 10 it says... remove axle shaft using axle shaft puller J-352... nothing about and clips in the drive pinion (apologize if I am using the wrong terms), or is it just that simple..
Thanks, Gord
