does anyone know of a good axle shop around BCS... i guess i am gonna go ahead and stick my gears and locker in the ttb for next weekend... i really wanna go to mason and dont have time to do the sas... let me know directions too... i really need to do it today because of work/class... thanks
is there anywhere else besides J&P?
go up 6, take a right on 21, its across from the trailer place and mack bolt and steel, next door to east 21 junkyard.
ok well i went over there to have them press a berring for the 9" axle shaft and they told me the one i picked up at a junkyard was trash... i have another one that might work... ill just have to take it there and see... he told me to take only the pumpkin' up there for the ttb because if they had to take it off themselves it would be hella labor... so i started pulling it off and cant seem to figure out how to get it out... it is loose and the only thing holding it in is the axle shafts but im not sure how to take them loose... do i have to take the break and all that crap off?... if anyone wants to help me call my cell... thanks
i pulled both shafts in order to get mine out. It sucks, but you wwill probably have toi do it. I f you still need help, I will be back in town on Sunday

sweet... give me a call sunday if you wanna help on it
ok... today i ordered a pair of yukon shafts for the 9" from randy's... these mofo's are pretty beefy... so once in a couple of days when they show up..it may be back alive
well today i got the front put all back together... the only thing it lacks is gear oil... my axle shafts for the 9" came in today so i took them to get the beerings pressed on but my dumbass didnt realize that the retainer plates that i had put on there were the wrong ones so i gotta fix that tomorrow... or i could just drill out a hole... oh and when i was putting my front diff back in i torqued one of the bolts down too much and snapped the head off... you thing i should drill it out and put in a new one or just say **** it and leave it alone
I'v tried to drill out those diff bolts before and they're next to impossible to do. Just put a lot of RTV around the hole and **** it.
woohoo it is done
i finally got the biznatch back together today... since my suburban pooped out on me i had no choice but to skip all my classes today and put it together... the only bad part is that it only took me about 20 min of driving it to get my first ticket in it... damn the man... i'm on defered adjudification right now too... well forget about that my baby is back
oh yeah and i need to break in the front gears too but dont have a front driveshaft right now... will locking the hubs work?
yes, locking the hubs is fine
no, that won't work to properly break in the gears. You will be working the coast side a lot harder than the load side and it'll make a shallower pattern than if you were actually applying torque from the driveshaft. Just wait until you get a driveshaft in there.

drive in reverse with the hubs locked in. That will work
