I did get the spider gear back in place today too. Now the axle Shaft does insert all the way in on the passenger side though. I'll figure it out late but I'm done for the day. Here's a good way to finish it off too...

Got it! I had to cut 2 and beat the others out. The upper control arms came off easy. I'm going to order and new bolt kit to reinstall. I don't have an air compressor yet but hopefully I'll have one soon. I think air tools would make a few jobs easier.


Good deal, glad ya got em out!......Air compressor and air tools are almost a must, you will use em all the time one you have em, they will definitely make life a lot easier. Were you able to figure out why your axle wasn't going in all the way?

Not yet, its back to work for me so I won't have a chance to get over to the garage until maybe Saturday. I'll probably pull the gears out again and take a look see.

Air compressor is coming soon I hope.. I should just go buy the Harbor Freight one for now, should be good for what I need. The price is right too, like $160.

I did a little work on the rear axle yesterday. Shafts are back in, brackets on, but the rotors will not seat flat on the axles outter hub thingy. I guess it needs machined or I'm getting new axles. I'll mess with it next weekend some more.

The axle and brakes look good man! I'm thinking on some axles the axles flanges will need turned down so the rotor hat will fit over them. I'm not sure how much needs to come off but I'm sure any decent machine shop should be able to put it in a lathe and take care of it for you.

I'll have to call and find out how much. I'm also going to email Right Stuff Detailing to tell them I was missing the brake pad clip for the poison side pad and ask which axle are a direct fit.

Can anyone help with identifying what my rear axle and gearing is? The picture maybe is CCA 0929 B which is a 3.08:1 10 bolt. Could the picture show a CGA which is 2.56:1 10 bolt for the 350? The second letter isn't clear or stamped entirely.

It also looks like my ring gear is positraction which could have been changed out right?

I was planning on doing some work on Saturday,but ended up spending the afternoon buying this nice addition for the garage! Now I need tools. Should have enough umph for what we will need and more. The garage already has the air system I just need to hook it up next weekend.

Funny how we always need another tool or something when we work on our cars.
