Yes. The special lock nut screws on to the back of the transmission output
shaft. This resides inside the planetary assembly in front of the OD shaft.
Before you can get to it you will have to remove the special (square)
snapring and washer. Did you get the OD shaft out? Give me some idea of
which exploded parts diagram you are looking at. That might help with the
terminology. >>
Ross,
I'm using the parts diagram in the Advance Adapters catalog. Did anyone ever
publish a maintenance manual for these ODs? They must be very reliable
because they seem to be seldom removed. The one in my truck has been there
for 30 years. I understand it was removed once to replace the gaskets. It
seems strange to have to disassemble this thing to take it off. I haven't
tried anymore to take it apart. It's raining outside (In San Antonio?) and
I've decided to wait for the owner to show up tomorrow night. I'd rather not
completely disassemble this thing without him here. That way if something
breaks I have someone to share the blame with.
