Re: strange axles in ford mustang housing
"O" rings will be enough to seal the housing at both ends.Put a little grease or oil on them so you don't cut the seals as the axles are installed.

Re: strange axles in ford mustang housing
make sure the ID of the housing is nice and clean. bearing going in and out have a tendency to gaul up a bit. a small dia. flap wheel on an air grinder will polish up the bore. when nice and clean, the axle will slide out with a good hard pull by hand. use white lube or anti-seeze in the bore.
