Looks like the drivers side axle, I believe the passenger side has the adjustment screw to set end play

3rd member is out, No Oil!!!!!!!! I have tried 2 years to get this car Ok, I hope this is the last issue. I see it says 3,23 on the ring but when
I tested it before by turning the driveshaft 2 turn and check  the turning of the wheels I got it to be around 4,9-5. That method works for all
my other cars, how can that be?  :banghead:

that will not have the center pin , it has or had buttons as it is a clutch type sure grip
 I would say it is not in OK shape it has surface rust on virtually all of the teeth & may be throuigh the case hardening , you may need a set of gears

question ?

so how do you get the buttons out ? (remove them)

thanks

I hope it works out for you. I couldn't imagine driving with 4:88's.   :eek7: You must redline at 40MPH.  :lol:
