My dad and I are working on a Dodge Luxury Liner with a fluid drive. The car runs great but the fluid drive was leaking. Dad removed the unit from the car,we removed the clutch driving plate nut,clutch driving plate and the snap ring. We made a spanner wrench on the milling machine to remove the bellows seal. It will not move, I made a adapter to use a 1/2" impact wrench on it,still it will not move!!!!!!!!!!! Is this thing left hand threads? Do you have to heat this bellows nut to get them off? The old mechanics in this area that knew the answers to my questions have gone on to heaven. We have set this fluid drive aside until we hopefully hear from one of you that can help us. Thank you Mitch

I am working on a1928 Chevy engine that has the rear main and center main completely knocked out. The babbitt in the front main appears to be a solid babbitt insert. The wall thickness is about 1/8 thick, that seems a little thick for babbitt. Has anyone out there made a bronze shell liner to reduce the babbitt thickness? I have the babbitt equipment to repair this motor but I want to do the best possible repair to this engine, any help would be appreciated.
