To Keith Oh, Your comment quoted here; "To make sure of ventalation remove one of the top bolts and drill a small hole lengthways through it to releave pressure in the banjo. This should be done regardless of whatever repairs you may choose." Why "should" this be done to a stock rear in a stock drive train? Ken

I've never seen that done either. Perhaps the thought is that the final drive needs venting. The final drive IS vented, since none of the pinion bearings carry seals, and the torque tube is like a chimney. Maybe that's a 48 pickup thing, given the fact that it has an open drive shaft. Tell me more, I may be missing something.
