What axles did you use? Ive been searching but no luck!
Don’t know how I got here but nice work. Quick pointer, next time drive your bearing races down wards since you nave the rear end out. Also might as well have all the brake assembly on the backing plate saves on working around axle and easier to put together when laying flat on a bench. Gravity is your friend in both these instances.
Where did you get the stand attachment for the engine stand.
Hey sir! I just wanted to give you a big thanks for providing this video. It helped me out so much building my first rear end. Thank you! I had issues with the crush sleeve and pinion depth but after alittle more hard work I was able to complete it successfully
Great video! I recently bought a quick performance kit for my 8.2 and I noticed it has 2 crush sleeves. One is big and one is smaller. Do I use the bigger one? Tia
Hi, great demo for the BOP axel! Was your axel housing originally an open diff that you converted to posi? Or were you simply upgrading the carrier and gear set?
an expensive rebuild made light on the wallet. If your not a teacher – consider
could you use your old bearings as the sacrificial bearings?
what posi unit did you use?
