Finished up my rear axle R & R today. That thing fought me the entire way. Was wrapping things up, my passenger side power window crapped out. I have two suction cups holding it up currently.

Got food poisoning Saturday night, so didn't do much yesterday. Got my power window fixed today. I scavenged a motor/regulator assembly from a spare door. Works great. Now maybe I can find the slow leak in the AC system...

Twin Peaks in Altamonte Springs. I went there several months ago, similar results. There won't be a third time.

Not really, the "scenery" was terrible. I saw one, maybe two that could be considered eye candy.

Nothing exciting today, just an oil change. I am liking the gear change, it is what it needed from the factory.

Vanny Vanny been a bad girl LOL.

Had a front wheel bearing go out and seize. So new spindle and rotors and bearing later.
But that was last week.

So in light of this I knew the rear axles had wear marks on the bearing surface from rebuilding and putting in the posi 2-3 years ago.

I ordered Richmond axle kits for both sides. Axles bearings, seals and studs. They are special order so in 2 weeks I will be putting those in.

Then all 4 be new. I am not with the wheel falling off thing.

Crunch Wobble wobble can you make it to the garage another 1/4 mile. Got lucky there. But once is enough.
