Don't quote me on this, but I believe you have to remove the tailshaft housing. Carl Monroe's 727 build says to remove the rear band apply linkage by sliding the pivot pin rearward. If you look at the tailshaft housing, there should be a little nub on the front part of the housing that is positioned near the pin. This nub would effectively keep the shaft from coming out if pushed to the rear. If you removed the tailshaft, the pin should ??? come out. I once had a shifty repair place cut the nub off on my original tailshaft so they could replace the seal on the pin without removing the tailshaft housing. But I wouldn't recommend that course of action...... Houston '64 Belvedere ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
