i'm changing the gears in my 5 bolt 8" rearend. while trying to press out the pinion shaft the flange on the housing broke. doh i got the front yoke part off already. does anybody know where i can get this flanged housing part ? i have a 4 bolt 8" layin' out back but i'm assuming it's smaller.

the pinion flange should be interchangeable amongst all 8" diffs. I think the only difference is the axles.

the rearend i got out back won't work. it came out of a 6cyl mustang. it has the bolt on cover on the back end and just the yoke on the front.

Pinion support is usually what gives on the 8". The unit above enables use of larger, stronger bearings.
