Replace "snubber" unit??
Gang;
Can one replace the "snubber" rubber busing thing without taking the rear end punkin out? Car in question is '66 and has that "thump" sound when shifting and letting out clutch in normal driving conditions.
I've searched and seen the rubber parts and discussion about poly vs rubber but can't find detailed description of replacement.
Thanks
PS. I may not be using the right terminology for the parts, sorry.

Vette65te is right, not a bad job.
I found that when replacing it, my wife could get here hands in to put the hardware in place.
I also found out something interesting on my vin number 05xx (don't remember the vin) .
It has a early differential (Dana?) which was later superseded by another manufacturers. With this rear you can not pull the 2 rear bolts to drop down the snubber bracker bracket.

Hi, I just did a complete rear end job, the real problem is getting a wrench on the bolt that holds the rubber bushing, it will turn when you try to loosen nut. It is not a problem tighting with new rubber. Take out bracket bolts first, to give you room to slide a 5/8 closed end wrench on to bolt, and pray as you loosen nut.

See my post on sticky " car is packed and 48 states await " it has pictures last pages
Get as many catalogs from all the vendors, the diagrams are better then the GM manual reprints.
