We install a Ford nine inch carrier into our 9 inch housing on the 1967 Mustang Fastback. Most all of our tips and tricks on how to do this will apply to the Ford 8 inch center section on an eight inch housing.

Thanks, I was struggling to get my 8" carrier out, never done it before, couldn't find any instructions.
It was those copper washers, for some reason only half my retaining bolts had them but they held it on.
They are a pain to remove but once I worked off the five, it did come apart.
As an aside, didn't see any leaks from any of the bolts, with or without the washers.
I had a very thick black oil, like crude oil, 66 Mustang, likely original rear end gears.
Thanks for the tip on the washers, I was getting really stumped, nobody else mentions it.
It's called a tri square not a mobile L
I have to pull my center section on my 9" to removal the racing spool. How heavy in your estimation Cam? I might rig up a holder of some sort on my other floor jack to help. Not looking forward to those dang copper washers on the studs at all.
Hey great video
Just stumbled on your channel
Your perm is nice and…
Those Jack's are worthless
Get a Jack with a rod pin stop.
Your helper is ridiculously fat
Thanks for the info. Aussie bloke in January 2020 appreciating this!
Those fancy exhaust clamps at 12:00…
This helped me a lot. Could you fill through the vent pipe on 69 8 inch? Thanks!
Just for a little extra safety when you slide the pumpkin on the bolts start a couple of nuts before you remove the jack. Thank you for the video! Perfect for the person doing this for the first time!!
ya'll better play the lottery, I have never had a center chunk slide right back on that easy lol Usually it seems like the studs have tweaked slightly so they always hold pressure as they side into the holes. still much nicer to have a ford 8" or 9" where you can swap from street to track gears in a hour or so. love ya'lls vids.
About to pull the pumpkin on the Bronco. Gasket replacement and general axle service. Thanks for the tutorial!
I subbed. Probably the best how to videos about cars. You go into detail but don't get boring
Highly recommend drill and tap a drain in the center section. Before you do make sure you have both 1/8" and 1/4" taps and plugs. Start small and test the fit. If you mess up on the 1/8" hole up you can step up and try again. If you find the need to force the carrier with a prying instrument (who doesn't?) do so above the oil line especially if you subscribe to the gasket installation. Copper washers… I smelt them down into bird shot and fire them into the previous guys ass. Man those things piss me off in that application.
Using a chisel is not advised. Get a flat bladed screw driver and just work around the case and gently spread it open. It's what I did on my 69 T-Bird.
in the ford 9 inch does the differentail oil chamber mix with the wheel bearings? are they sharing the same oil?
What size are those copper washers? You said "26/34ths" which equates to .764"…lol
thanks for your videos
